Scale via script command

[Zorkaz]

Is there a script command for scaling actors or objects. I haven't found anything on the wiki but I'm sure there is something like that

Yeah there is "SetScale", https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=SetScale_-_ObjectReference , it can be wonky tho.

Check out this post, it details it pretty well: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/8385323-script-bits-access-ref-scale-from-papyrus/

Thanks. I need it to fire once, so I'm sure I'll find a way

Heyas Zorkaz!

is it an item/actor that you are wanting to have in the game as a different size from the very get-go, or is is this something that you want to change size via an activation or something similar?

if it's the former, you might take a look at pugmeat to see if you can reverse engineer it to suit your needs. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/21877 as it has a miniature version, and a larger version.

 

If it's the latter, then all I know about setting scale is via the console. Which is clicking on an actor to give the console notice of what to change, then typing in setscale XXX which is a range from 1.0 up or down.

And that the adjusted settings are pretty minute. even 0.94 is about 3/4ths the original size. It drops a regular human character by about a foot in height.

It's going to be on a levelled actor

 

Edit: It worked as I put the set.scale command on a levelled actor. Both as Object Reference and Actor just to be sure. The script works as you walk through a trigger and the levelled actor already has spawned.

 

Not sure if other ways work too.

One note for anything that needs collision to work: using the setScale console command will break collision. Setting scale in the REFR data will not, and I have no idea if using papyrus would break collision or not.
