scaleEntity.lua

This utility provides a simple interface to scale an entity (ped, object, vehicle) in the world.

⚠️ Important: Unless the model's collision is removed or modified, the scale will reset when interacted with by other entities (e.g., walking into it, driving over it).

• scaleEntity(entity, scale)

  • Scales the specified entity by the given factor.
  • Parameters:
    • entity (number): Entity handle (ped, object, vehicle).
    • scale (number): Scale factor (e.g., 1.0 is normal size, 0.5 is half size).
  • Example:

    scaleEntity(PlayerPedId(), 0.8) -- Shrinks player slightly
    

• resetScale(entity)

  • Resets the entity's scale back to its original default.
  • Example:

    resetScale(PlayerPedId()) -- Return to default size
