Skeleton Root Scale?

I found this in vader's ODF:
SkeletonRootScale = "1.25"
Does anyone know what this does?
I'm thinking it would scale up the model if changed?
Is that right?

You're right, it scales the skeleton up or down. Like for Yoda, the scale is .34, or a third of the natural skeleton size. However, I'm not sure if the model itself is affected by this...

Make a dwarf Vader

Man it would be fun if it scaled down the model

I might not work because the animation combo can pull the model back to it's original size.
I tried shrinking yoda's after giving him a larger animation and the combo stretched him.

I'm pretty sure that says "scale the default skeleton up to this amount" -- why do I say that? Becuase any model that uses custom animations only uses a few custom anims. So, let's say Vader's skeleton is 1.25x bigger than a normal unit's. Adding SkeletonRootScale = "1.25" scales the root skeleton to the same size as Vader's so he can use all the standard anims.

So basicly it's all about the animations scale? Someone would have to make a script to shrink the animation or something.

For combos, yeah. It *should* be okay with standard animations. That is--- if you're not using combos, you should be able to scale a regular trooper up or down.

I tried with both a regular trooper and vader. For the regular trooper, nothing happened. For vader, I took out his lightsaber and he shrunk to normal trooper size...
Any idea how I could fix this or why it happens?
