How to change size of character?!?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to change the default characters limbs size (e.g. make them really tall) but still have it work and function properly.

I don’t know the most about rigging and motor6ds. How could I resize various limbs independently while making sure the joints are connected correctly and the character doesn’t fall apart?

I want to be able to make something like this (video is jailbreak)

You can easily attain this by using HumanoidDescription. Change its HeightScale property to something else to scale the character.

Here’s an example code I wrote:

ServerScriptService 
local changeScale = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ChangeScale;

local offset = 0.25;

changeScale.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, dir)
	local character = player.Character;
	if not character then return; end
	
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid");
	if not humanoid then return; end
	
	local desc = humanoid:GetAppliedDescription();
	desc.HeightScale += dir * offset;
	humanoid:ApplyDescription(desc);
end)
StarterCharacterScripts 
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService");
local changeScale = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ChangeScale;

userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, processed)
	if processed then return; end
	
	if (input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q) then
		changeScale:FireServer(-1);
	elseif (input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E) then
		changeScale:FireServer(1);
	end
end);

And add a RemoteEvent called “ChangeScale” in ReplicatedStorage.

Additionally, you can change more properties too. For example, the scaling section itself has 6 properties:

TL;DR: You can not use :ApplyDescription() on the client, hence I’m using RemoteEvents here.
