My char is not scaling/ Pls help!

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I created a script that is supposed to increase your size/scale when activated, but it doesn’t seem to be working for some reason. I’m not sure what the issue is, could you please help me with the script
and, its a Local Script!

Local Script:

local twix = script.Parent

local ScaleFactor = 5
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Deb = false
local Activated = false

		local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

		local BodyHeight = humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value
		local BodyWidth = humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value
		local BodyDepth = humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value
		local HeadScale = humanoid.HeadScale.Value

		twix.Activated:Connect(function()
			if not Activated and not Deb then
				Activated = true
				Deb = true

				BodyHeight = BodyHeight + ScaleFactor
				BodyWidth = BodyWidth + ScaleFactor
				BodyDepth = BodyDepth + ScaleFactor
				HeadScale = HeadScale + ScaleFactor

			end
			task.wait(0.5)
			Activated = false
			Deb = false

end)

There’s probably a better way to achieve this, but if you need to do this in a LocalScript, re-parent the character to the workspace after the changes and it’ll trigger the new scaling.

char.Parent = nil
char.Parent = workspace

You can also do this directly in a ServerScript and it would work as you tried, if you want the changes to replicate to other players.

it, still din’t work could you show me the better way ??

#4

This is just a snippet of code so it’s difficult to know the context but I altered what you pasted:

local twix = script.Parent

local ScaleFactor = 5
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Activated = false
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

twix.Activated:Connect(function()
	if not Activated then
		Activated = true
		humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value += ScaleFactor
		humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value += ScaleFactor
		humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value += ScaleFactor
		humanoid.HeadScale.Value += ScaleFactor

		char.Parent = nil
		char.Parent = workspace

		task.delay(0.5, function() Activated = false end)
	end
end)

it shows a error it also showed a error while i was trying that other script
Error:

Players.Ameli_43.Backpack.Twix.LocalScript:13: attempt to index nil with 'BodyHeightScale'
#6

Try changing FindFirstChild("Humanoid") to WaitForChild("Humanoid"). As this script appears to be inside a backpack, it’s probably running before the character has fully loaded.

#7

but, one more thing it works but it only works like one time it only gets one time big, i want it so evertime its been activated you will get big not only one time :smiley:

this would be great!

I assume you want it to scale down on deactivation? You need a separate connection for that:

local twix = script.Parent

local ScaleFactor = 5
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Activated = false

twix.Activated:Connect(function()
	if not Activated then
		Activated = true
		humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value += ScaleFactor
		humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value += ScaleFactor
		humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value += ScaleFactor
		humanoid.HeadScale.Value += ScaleFactor

		char.Parent = nil
		char.Parent = workspace
	end
end)

twix.Deactivated:Connect(function()
	Activated = false

	humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value -= ScaleFactor
	humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value -= ScaleFactor
	humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value -= ScaleFactor
	humanoid.HeadScale.Value -= ScaleFactor

	char.Parent = nil
	char.Parent = workspace
end)

Hello,

This code looks like its only programmed to work one time. You have do something in a while loop or trigger an event. The way it looks right now it will run one time and that’s it. You could use a mouse button trigger, attach huminoid part trigger like .hit.

Thanks,
