Is there a property/function to scale an object verticlly or horizantally, or stretching the object's object in a specified direction//amount? |

MovableObject.Scale is the only variable for scaling, but it scales both vertically and horizontally at the same time. |

That won't work for me. Too bad Scale.X doesn't do anything. |

What kind of object is this that you're scaling? |

I want to make a one-pixel sprite into a variable-length rope. I can make a sprite that gets larger every X frames by Y pixels, but the would take a while. Also spawning multiple small lines to from a single rope may cause a slight performance decrease. |

Would making an extremely long line and scaling down work? It might automatically render at least one pixel height no matter what, which would work great. Alternatively you figure out at what scale one pixel height isn't rendered, and make multiple long lines which scale to one pixel length and have them as your rope. |

Or, you could draw the line with mopixels. |

I have another question: Let's say you have Code: daanswer = thingamabob[i]*doohickey[i] Will the [i]'s match to the same number and "daanswer" be thingamabob^2? |

I'm not sure what you mean by that. The [i] refers to which entry in the array you're accessing is. You can't really perform math operations on an array, just its values, so there is no such thing as "thingamabob ^ 2". |

Let's say exampleA[1] is the number value 5, and exampleB[1] is also 5. If I multiply those values with "for i = 1, answer = exampleA[i]*exampleB[i]", will answer be 25? |

I'd think so. |
|
| Author: | CaveCricket48 [ Wed Dec 09, 2009 2:41 am ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Vertical/Horizantel Scaling? |
If I remove the "i = 1" would exampleA[1] automaticly match with exampleB[1] and exampleA[2] automaticly match with exampleB[2]? Or would it crash or give an error? |

I don't think you're understanding how this works. "For" is a type of loop. I is just a variable. If you want to print all the values in the list exampleA, for instance, you would do Code: for i=1,#exampleA do print(exampleA[i]); end If you just want to know what the first values of exampleA and exampleB are multiplied together, you would do Code: answer = exampleA[1] * exampleB[1]; |
