Character Scale Problem

[ivydoIl (BeamedByAlex)]

Hello! I’ve been trying to script a daycare game, but it has been really difficult because I can’t make non-group members small (as a toddler). But if they’re a certain rank in the group, they’ll be normal size. I tried looking up tutorials about character scaling, but it never works. If you could help me, I apricate it!

Example:

Sorry I’m a bit confused.

Is the issue that you don’t know how to scale the player, or that you don’t know how to check if the player is a certain rank?

EDIT:
I now understand. Here’s how you do it:

        local Humanoid = ReplaceThisWithHowYouAreGettingTheHumanoid()

		local HS = Humanoid.HeadScale
		local BDS = Humanoid.BodyDepthScale
		local BWS = Humanoid.BodyWidthScale
		local BHS = Humanoid.BodyHeightScale

        HS.Value = HS.Value * ReplaceWithYourCustomScale
		BDS.Value = BDS.Value * ReplaceWithYourCustomScale
		BWS.Value = BWS.Value * ReplaceWithYourCustomScale
		BHS.Value = BHS.Value * ReplaceWithYourCustomScale

This question (of sizing) has been asked many times. Please search it up

How to Change Player Size - Roblox Studio Tutorial

Shrinking/Changing Player Size with a Script

local HS = Humanoid.HeadScale local BDS = Humanoid.BodyDepthScale local BWS = Humanoid.BodyWidthScale local BHS = Humanoid.BodyHeightScale HS.Value = HS.Value * 2 BDS.Value = BDS.Value * 2 BWS.Value = BWS.Value * 2 BHS.Value = BHS.Value * 2 You can change the scale of the player with the Scale properties in the Humanoid. The default scale size is 1. Remember that Roblox allows players to slightly modify their body proportions in Avatar selection, so if you plan to revert the player you will ne…

Changing player scale

Before setting the size use an If statement to check if plrbodyscale < limit then. If it is less than the max limit then it will increase the size, if it isn’t you can return “limit”

A question on how to check if a player is in a certain group of ranks

So for checking a players group rank can I make it to were it checks if its a group of ranks, for example if players are in Rank ID 2 and Rank ID 5 how would i write it out in a script, ik you can only check for ranks higher and lower but never in a range of ranks. game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) == 1 then -- do something here end end) and you can also do this game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupId) >…

Both, basically

Here are a bunch of links I’ve gathered on both problems.

[ivydoIl (BeamedByAlex)]

local shrink_val = 0.5

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer



game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	if Player:GetRankInGroup(4594985) == 200 then
		player.Character.Humanoid.HeadScale.Value = shrink_val
		
		player.Character.Humanoid.BodyDepthScale.Value = shrink_val

		player.Character.Humanoid.BodyWidthScale.Value = shrink_val

		player.Character.Humanoid.BodyHeightScale.Value = shrink_val

		player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 50

		player.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 100

		game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = 25
	end
end)

I tried, but didn’t work

Maybe try on a normal script? Somewhere I have a script for this. Give me a second to find it. . . .

Almost found it. . . .

[earthyviking92 (Viking)]

Try this? Pretty sure this is what I did:

local HS = Humanoid.HeadScale
local BDS = Humanoid.BodyDepthScale
local BWS = Humanoid.BodyWidthScale
local BHS = Humanoid.BodyHeightScale

HS.Value = HS.Value * 2
BDS.Value = BDS.Value * 2
BWS.Value = BWS.Value * 2
BHS.Value = BHS.Value * 2

[ivydoIl (BeamedByAlex)]

still not working

[earthyviking92 (Viking)]

Which script is the error from?

[ivydoIl (BeamedByAlex)]

There is only 1 script, the character scale

[lelion77]

Are you doing this from a localscript? If so it won’t work.

This line of code:

local Humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.player.Character()

is only possible in a localscript.

im using a normal script

Then you cannot get the LocalPlayer.

Replace all that code with this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    if Player:GetRankInGroup(4594985) == 200 then
        local Humanoid = Player.Character.Humanoid

		local HS = Humanoid.HeadScale
		local BDS = Humanoid.BodyDepthScale
		local BWS = Humanoid.BodyWidthScale
		local BHS = Humanoid.BodyHeightScale

        HS.Value = HS.Value * 2
		BDS.Value = BDS.Value * 2
		BWS.Value = BWS.Value * 2
		BHS.Value = BHS.Value * 2
    end
end)

You probably deleted a bracket.

Also, I realized a bit after I posted that it wouldn’t work.

This new code should work:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid

		local HS = Humanoid.HeadScale
		local BDS = Humanoid.BodyDepthScale
		local BWS = Humanoid.BodyWidthScale
		local BHS = Humanoid.BodyHeightScale

		HS.Value = HS.Value * 2
		BDS.Value = BDS.Value * 2
		BWS.Value = BWS.Value * 2
		BHS.Value = BHS.Value * 2
	end)
end)
