[TIP] - Auto resize actor properly

Hunnenkoenig

I needed something, where my image gets resized only knowing the new height value.

I spawn an actor by another one and I wanted to set the height of the spawned actor according to the size of the spawner actor.

Now I made a game attribute with the height of the spawner (change or constrain) and in the spawned actor I made an old height/old width attribute (integer) with the original values.

Then I used change attribute self.size.height to game.spawner-height

and self.size.width to (old width / old height)*game.spawner-height

With this formula I get my actor resized in the proper way and have no worries about the actor being stretched or so...

Maybe it helps somebody.

I'm going to have to start copying and pasting these tips into a document. I don't need this now, but someday I'm sure I will... and will not be able to find this thread.

You could bookmark it in your web browser or use the "Add this topic..." link in the upper-right part of the GS forum web page. ;-) But if they ever go to a new forum format, then yeah, those may break. Carry on.
