How do I make a scale tool?

I have made a studio-like game, and it’s almost finished. I have a move and rotate tool, but I can’t figure out the Scale tool. Please help, thank you.

Well, you could use your Move Tool script, but rather than change it’s position, change its size with Vectors?

Hm… I’ll try to do that, and see if it works.

Edit: I don’t know how to do that, since my move script uses CFrame.

Would it be possible if we see the script?

#5

Yes, of course.

Handles = script.Parent:WaitForChild("MoveHandles")
local Part = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("SelectedPart")
local CF
CF = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("SelectedPart").Value.CFrame
local increment2 = 0.5
Handles.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    CF = Part.Value.CFrame
end)
Handles.MouseDrag:Connect(function(face, dist)
    Part.Value.CFrame = CF+Vector3.FromNormalId(face)*(math.floor(dist/increment2)*increment2)
	game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SetPartCFrame"):FireServer(Part.Value,Part.Value.CFrame)
end)

What sort of values are the Values?

#7

Oh, the part value is a objectvalue.

#8

I am not an expert, I have very little knowledge on scaling like this, but maybe try replace the CFrames with Size and find a new RemoteEvent to fire?

#9

Okay, I will try.

EDIT: I somewhat did that, but it acts really weird.robloxapp-20200507-0741344.wmv (2.8 MB)

This could come in handy:

Hope this helped!

How would I get the delta?

Let us see your sizing script?

#13 
Handles = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ScaleHandles")
local Part = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("SelectedPart")
local Size
Size = script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("SelectedPart").Value.Size
local increment2 = 1
Handles.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    Size = Part.Value.Size
end)
Handles.MouseDrag:Connect(function(face, dist)
    Part.Value.Size = Size+Vector3.FromNormalId(face)*(math.floor(dist/increment2)*increment2)
	game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("SetPartSize"):FireServer(Part.Value,Part.Value.Size)
end)

Ah! Just used the default sizing tool in Roblox Studio, and noticed as you size something, the position also changed. Maybe try and reposition the part AS you size it.

#15

I figured out how to make the scale tool myself.

#16

Was I of any assistance? Hope I was!

#17

Sorry, but, no. @brokenVectors did help though.

Hi, @TheWorstOne_2,

Would you be so kind to explain how you made the tool scale?

I am pretty sure a lot of us or at least I am curious about how you achieved this

Hello! After @brokenVectors reply, I searched up some info about Resize. Someone had made a resize tool, using resize. I feel like I didn’t “learn this” though, because it is someone elses code. But, if you would like to see the code, here it is:

local rHandle = script.Parent:WaitForChild("ScaleHandles")
local prev

print'ok'

rHandle.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function(normal)
	prev = 0
	print'down'
end)

rHandle.MouseDrag:Connect(function(id,distance)
	
	local delta = distance - prev
	local delta2 = math.abs(delta)
	if delta2 >= 1 then
		local sizD = math.floor(delta / 1) * 1
		
		local canCollide = rHandle.Adornee.CanCollide
		rHandle.Adornee.CanCollide = false
		if rHandle.Adornee:Resize(id,sizD) then
			
			prev = distance
		end
		rHandle.Adornee.CanCollide = canCollide
		
	end
end)
