How to scale physics collision shape with renderer?

Carlton

This started as a question I was about to post, but then I figured it out.

Example I have a ground spatial that is 100 by 100 and I want to scale it to the screens width depending on the different screen sizes.

Take Game.Screen.Width/(size of spatial I want scaled) = scaling sizes

Now if you create an object that on load renders that object and applies the scale to the spatial that will create your object and scale the collision spatial correctly.

@Carlton are you using the "collisionShapeScale" point object property on the collision spatial?

Carlton

I wasn't, I implemented this last night and it works perfectly. This is extremely useful.

Thank you

@Carlton I have been scaling down my game to test on a smaller device, in GBs i toggled the show spatials so I could see what they look like on the device(on a character which is 130x150 for example) and they do seem off.

So are you saying when we are setting up a condition to check for a smaller screen we trigger a:

change property

@Spatial.collisionShapeScale = Type expression Game.Screen.Width/size of spatial

if the size of character is a width and height(130X150) what do you put for size of spatial in the expression?

Howdy, Stranger!
