How do I scale an object? [Solved]

I need to know how to scale an object from 100% to 13%.
After selecting my whole object. I went under the transform tab on the right and changed the first three boxes to "0.13". After I exported my model, put it in zeroeditor, and tested in battlefront 2, It was the same size as it was before I did all this. I'm sure that its not the same model. Also it was the same size as the original in zeroeditor. dose anyone know why this is happening?

After you scale it down you must freeze the transforms.

Or just use a .option file with -scale 0.13

If you do that, don't forget to put this under GeometryName in the [GameObjectClass] section in the ODF.

Code: Select all

GeometryScale = "0.13"

mh for me it also works without the odf thing. I think this is just for the correct display in Zero Editor

Absolutely correct. Adding the msh.option will scale down the model, adding that line in the ODF is only for displaying it in ZE.

Right. Except it's a good habit to always do so regardless. :P (Also L'Oréal needs to do so in this case anyways.)

Nah, Lorul1 is already taking the best approach here by scaling in XSI, no chance of rendering or collision issues compared to the modding method.

Yeah. thanks AceMastermind it worked.
See I did the msh.option thing before I posted this, and my collisions got messed up. I was going to tell you guys after the second response but then I didn't want to double post if I had a question about AceMastermind's method.

Thanks everyone.
