Put this Script into a Part that you want the player to touch to scale.

local Part = script.Parent
local ScaleNumber = 1.5 -- change this to effect how much the character is scaled

local function ScaleCharacter(Humanoid,Number)
	if Humanoid and Number then
		local BodyDepthS = Humanoid.BodyDepthScale
		local BodyWidthS = Humanoid.BodyWidthScale
		
		BodyDepthS.Value = BodyDepthS.Value * Number
		BodyWidthS.Value = BodyWidthS.Value * Number
	end
end

Part.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
    if Hit and Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        local Humanoid = Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
        ScaleCharacter(Humanoid,ScaleNumber)
    end
end)

Hello

I Have a error here please can you tell me what it means and a solution for it :slight_smile:

Workspace.Part.Script:9: attempt to perform arithmetic (mul) on boolean and number - Server - Script:9

#4

Odd question, did you paste all of the code into a blank script? I just tested it and it seemed to work for me:

#5

Hello i think its because im using a startercharacter thats why :slight_smile:

#6 
local part = workspace.Part --part to touch

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit) --hit is the other part
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then --check if other part belongs to player
		local character = hit.Parent
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		--following properties are all default values change them to fit your needs
		humanoid.BodyTypeScale = 0.3
		humanoid.DepthScale = 1
		humanoid.HeadScale = 1
		humanoid.HeightScale = 1
		humanoid.ProportionScale = 1
		humanoid.WidthScale = 1
	end
end)

Hello i have tried this but im using a startercharacter which isnt making it work

#8

Try the above, it’s a server script, place it inside the part which when touched causes the character’s size to change. Make sure to change the values to see any effect because I’ve just used the default values for those properties in the script.

#9

hello again

could it be to do with this?

#10

Definitely, you just wanted to change height right?

local part = workspace.Part --part to touch

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit) --hit is the other part
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then --check if other part belongs to player
		local character = hit.Parent
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		--following properties are all default values change them to fit your needs
		humanoid.HeightScale = 2
	end
end)

If so, try this.

#11

its to do with the infinite yeild it sends the messgae when i touch the part

do u know how i could fix the yeild

#12

How many parts does the character have? I’m assuming R15 so 15 right?

#13

i got the starter character from the toolbox let me check

#14 
local part = workspace.Part --part to touch

part.Touched:Connect(function(hit) --hit is the other part
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then --check if other part belongs to player
		local character = hit.Parent
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		local Head = humanoid:WaitForChild("Head")
		local UpperTorso = humanoid:WaitForChild("UpperTorso")
		local LowerTorso = humanoid:WaitForChild("LowerTorso")
		local LeftUpperArm = humanoid:WaitForChild("LeftUpperArm")
		local LeftLowerArm = humanoid:WaitForChild("LeftLowerArm")
		local LeftHand = humanoid:WaitForChild("LeftHand")
		local RightUpperArm = humanoid:WaitForChild("RightUpperArm")
		local RightLowerArm = humanoid:WaitForChild("RightLowerArm")
		local RightHand = humanoid:WaitForChild("RightHand")
		local LeftUpperLeg = humanoid:WaitForChild("LeftUpperLeg")
		local LeftLowerLeg = humanoid:WaitForChild("LeftLowerLeg")
		local LeftFoot = humanoid:WaitForChild("LeftFoot")
		local RightUpperLeg = humanoid:WaitForChild("RightUpperLeg")
		local RightLowerLeg = humanoid:WaitForChild("RightLowerLeg")
		local RightFoot = humanoid:WaitForChild("RightFoot")
		--following properties are all default values change them to fit your needs
		humanoid.HeightScale = 2
	end
end)

This will only work for R15 character’s, I can make it more compatible later if necessary but let me know if this works.

#15

it only has a head and a torso and some other parts…

#16

I’d need the names of all of those parts. If it’s just a standard R15 rig then I already know them & they’re in the script above.

#17

Steps:

1: Insert a server script inside the part.

2: Paste this code (Credits to @Limited_Unique for some of this code):

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(Touched)
       if Touched.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then 
        local HumanoidRootPart = Touched.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") --if the root loaded, then all the character is loaded
        local humanoid = Touched.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

		--following properties are all default values change them to fit your needs
        humanoid.BodyTypeScale = 0.5
		humanoid.DepthScale = 1.5
		humanoid.HeadScale = 1.5
		humanoid.HeightScale = 1.5
		humanoid.ProportionScale = 1.5
		humanoid.WidthScale = 1.5
       end
end)

3: This should be done!, if so, make sure to mark this reply as the solution.

#18

Won’t work because of the ongoing infinite yield issue (scale being attempted on parts before they’re loaded), I’ve fixed that in my previous post, also you haven’t defined “humanoid”.
