Hi all,

I am trying to create the effect if blood spreading down a wall. I made this script and attached it to a blood decal:




The decal gets scaled up in the editor but not in Test mode. Can someone please give me advice.

Thanks.

Firstly the object Id is given by g_Entity[ e ].obj
Secondly You probably want to scale in Y. Z is depth for a decal!

Thanks. But it seems to scale in the right direction in the editor. I am wondering whether it just doesn't work in realtime…?/

what you're seeing in the editor is an animation - if the decal already has an animation that works you could just use that and reduce the speed as needed in the properties panel
or via script with
ModulateSpeed(e,v)
v = 0 -- stop
v = 1 --normal speed (same as editor)
v = 2 --2x as fast

p.s. pretty sure GG uses
Scale(e,x,y,z)
not
ScaleObject(obj,x,y,z)

p.p.s why are you hiding and showing the object in the script? this is unnecessary work

Scale(e, v) scales in all dimensions by v.
ScaleObject (which sounds like one of my additions) allows scaling in all dimensions separately.

Thanks. I am not aware that the decal has an animation but I will check. It's just one of the stock decals. I think it's in Fixtures.

This was just an attempt to get it to work. I was hoping it would reset the image or something.

oh yes, didn't notice that new addition
@lordjulian, did you mean scaling with the widget? i think i misunderstood, i thought you were saying it was scaling during the editor like the script was running.

No. I would go into Test mode and nothing would happen but when I exit Test mode I see that the decal is rescaled.

i see what you mean, you need to turn physics off to fix it

Aha, I've noticed that default settings for some decals have physics on, which to me is ridiculous, the default should be physics off for decals.

This works fine for me, even with physics 'on' for the decal. (I used a flame decal to test it)

Must be something peculiar about the decal you are using.

No. I didn't edit that. BTW, I'm using SmallG's version of the script.
