Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m currently working on a character resize-r and have encountered issues with making the Helmet shrink with the Player.

The size itself changes via the values in ones Humanoid, however I can’t find a work around to get the Helmet to reduce (or) grow in size with said Player, as the hat is made up of multiple parts I understand it may be an issue, but is it do-able?

Thanking you in advance.

Is the helmet a mesh part, model, or an accessory?

It’s a model itself, even tried turning it into an accessory but to no prevail.

Is the resizing of the character going to be continuous or will the character go from one size directly to another?

Ideally continuous over a quick period,
an easy way to reference this is similar to the Ant-Man shrinking in Marvel films.

Shrinking the model in real-time through a script is gonna require some math (that I don’t understand). If you want an idea of what mathematical procedures you need to do, read this post.

Should be doable in some way. What have you tried?
(Just looked at the link in XBearByte’s post… should definitely explore that first)

If you want to make all parts in a model grow in size continuously, you have to start with a base, and multiply each part’s displacement from the base by whatever factor the model is growing by.

function resizeModel(model, a)
	local base = model.PrimaryPart
	for _, part in pairs(model:GetDescendants()) do
		if part:IsA("BasePart") then
			part.Position = base.Position:Lerp(part.Position, a)
			part.Size *= a
		end
	end
end

Note: you might have to reweld parts together.

function for tweening the model’s size:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local function tweenModelSize(model, duration, factor, easingStyle, easingDirection)
	local s = factor - 1
	local i = 0
	local oldAlpha = 0
	while i < 1 do
		local dt = task.wait()
		i = math.min(i + dt/duration, 1)
		local alpha = TweenService:GetValue(i, easingStyle, easingDirection)
		resizeModel(model, (alpha*s + 1)/(oldAlpha*s + 1))
		oldAlpha = alpha
	end
end

If you want to convert from scale to studs, divide your preferred length for a size property in your model by the current length, and use that for the scale.

You could just make a accessory of the helmet and upload it, edit the player’s humanoid description and apply it to the humanoid. No need for a really complex script in my eyes I guess. Uploading the helmet as an accessory makes it usable as accessory in the humanoid description and it should resize with the rest of the body.
