The function Scale(e,v) -- scale the entity from all sides.
The function xs, ys, zs = GetObjectScales( obj ) -- returns scale values of object in all axis

Would it be possible to some how scale an entity horizontal ?

Yes.

ScaleObject( obj, x, y, z ) -- Scales object in all axis (Note: uses object id not entity!)

Copied straight out of global.lua!

Be aware that if you scale something in test mode when you come back out to the editor it will stay at that scale!

What I do is create a script that sets all environment settings and object scalings back to default, attach it to a zone and make sure the player is in the zone before exiting back to the editor.
Saves a lot of frustration that way.

I wish (among other additions), the properties panel showed the scale factor,
the objects real world position, angle, etc. There could be a check box for if
the scaling and positioning by scripts adhered after exit test.

This is not to make scripts unnecessary, be to be a tool helper to scripters who
want to adjust the parameters in their scripts-- faster and more handily.

I added that command about 3 years ago and this is the first time I've seen it used.

@AmenMoses: Is there a way to control the speed of scaling? I think it would be very usefull, to simulate the growth of plants

Don't worry, Amen. I've got several uses of it in my game project.
I first messed with this at least a year ago.
Not everyone posts videos of their lua classes!

BTW, I am now finding (and at the time we discussed this-- it wasn't working)
but collision of re-scaled objects seems to be working just fine now.
Excellent, thank you.
