scaling down in steps

[Outpost 31]

hi I can scale the block up in steps when I click on it but it auto shrinks when it hits 5 counts.  I want it to scale down when it is clicked, in steps, just like how it scales up. thnx for any help

Hi, 

If you scale up by N, dimensions are multiplicated by N.

You can scale down with 1/N and not -N.

How would you do the same thing with width or length? You cannot drag the x,y,z block into the scale option?

Hi,

Here is an exemple with .setSize() method :

See scene 2 for a basic example.

Thanks so much, that worked well, I can make my length larger until 5 then smaller until 10 but then I cannot change the length again.  Is there a way to have this sequence run infinitely so the user can scale up or down 5 times forever?

Hey Outpost!

You can achieve a up and down forever effect a couple ways. You are adding 1 to Bar1State every time the button is pressed, so once it hits 10, it keeps going and doesn't trigger the if or else if for resizing. You'll need to set it back to 0 once it is out of range so it goes through the resizing again.

Add this block into your else inside the on activate of button block and you should be good to go.
