Scaling Rings?

[Eblo]

I was wondering how to scale rings using linedef type 438 - Set Object's Scale. I see that ERZ3 has a scaled down ring, and I wanted to know how to do it.

What the heck does that mean?

He wants to know if you can make it so that various instances of rings can be made bigger or smaller.

In ERZ3, you are scaled down 25% size to make the boss appear larger. The ring is also scaled.

doesnt it shrink YOU down? in that case isnt it determined by linedef length?

Yes, but the ring in ERZ3 is also scaled down.

It's actually TypeOfLevelthat does this. I copied ERZ2's TypeOfLevel flags once and everything that was in my map at the time was scaled down.

EDIT: I just recently went through SRB2's MAINCFG - I'm not entirely sure what was doing it now, as ERZ seems to have the same level flags as every other zone. I do know, however, that there is a linedef for scaling just the player.

yeah, but the gravity, why is the gravity so high when you do that?

 

[Drake Spyker]

The gravity IS a linedef operation, I believe. Try flying as Tails when you're scaled down in normal gravity and you'll see why it's like that.

Are you sure you're scaled down, or is the sprite just huge? :S

Someone posted a pic of actual size. It IS a small sprite.
