You need to do it in a outside editor like fragmotion,it's not a good idea to scale anything within GG it dosent seem to like it when you do.

Granada is correct, scaling in the FPE works (or used to), but it seems to cause issues.

I downloaded fragmotion but the characters i created with gameguru CHARACTER CREATOR don't have any supported files.

You can scale them by adding e.g. scale = 30 (30% of normal size) in the associated .fpe file (found in user\charactercreator folder).

The character creator entities are made up of composites, so when you then load into editor the body looks scaled but the head isn't, though when you run the game the whole body does scale. However, any weapons attached don't scale ... so looks odd (funny). The collision box also doesn't appear to adjust. Also I didn't try this in a standalone, so as others have mentioned you may have issues there.

Don't think the CC characters are really designed to be resized at the moment.

Generally, I do not recommend scaling characters as it affects their physics attributes and other abilities like being able to go through doors. We do have some larger characters in the collection but they are generally designed from scratch to be so large, and preferably, outdoors
