Resizing objects through scripting ...

[wbhyvong]

I want to increase or decrease the object size over time, so how to write code? please help me, very thanks!

if ………………….? What to write here?
{
image_xscale *= 1.5;
image_yscale *= 1.5;
}

Lots of ways to do it, think this may be the more cooler one is to use the lerp function like this.

var target_scale = 5;
var target_rate = 0.2;
image_xscale = lerp(image_xscale, target_scale, target_rate);
image_yscale = lerp(image_yscale, target_scale, target_rate);

I also think lerp is better but the effect is the opposite, very fast at the beggining and slower after. If you want to do by your way, faster on each iteration, the if could be something like this

var target_scale = 5;

if (image_xscale < target_scale)
    image_xscale *= 1.5;
else
    image_xscale = target_scale;

image_yscale = image_xscale;

Thank everybody,
I want to increase or decrease the object size by near or far position, so how to write code? please help me, very thanks!

For example, you can calculate the distance between your object position and the reference position, and divide the scale by that distance, being careful with distance = 0.

How to set the number of bullets for the player?
code:
abc=instance_create(x,y,obj_danxanh)
abc.speed=25
abc.direction=point_direction(x,y,mouse_x, mouse_y) + irandom_range(-3,3)
abc.image_angle=abc.direction.

Do not panic so that when the ship moves out of the room, it turns itself back?
And how does the ship move to a certain position when it goes back to itself?

These scattershot questions are confusing and we have no real way of knowing exactly what you mean. Even if english is your second language, you'll have to spend a little more time thinking about how to structure the question so we can understand what's going on properly before we can help. For instance, why is Don't Panic written in big friendly letters on the front of your last post?

How to ship the reverse direction, in a position. help me write code.

 

[RefresherTowel]

image_xscale = target_scale

Will make the sprite appear facing one direction and

image_xscale = target_scale*-1

Will make the sprite face the opposite direction.
