Scale a DTS character

#1 Nearly a month later and still nobody seems to have any answers :(

I find it hard to believe that I'm the first person in the (admittedly short) history of TX to try and scale a DTS character...

I know the workaround is to do the resize in Max and re-export, but that's a bit of a pain in the rear end when you actually *want* some size variation in your game and would rather not have to have individual models for each variation.

float scale = 5f;
your3Dshape.ShapeScale = new Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Vector3(scale);

#3 Zilla, thank you very much for responding, I appreciate that! Unfortunately, I was not clear enough about the problem I am having, and your answer does not work.

The ShapeScale property only exists on the T2DShape3D class, and I am not using that class. I am working strictly in a 3D project based on the 'Starter Game 3D (Pro)' project type.

The closest thing I could find was the Scale property of the T3DSceneComponent class, which exhibits the behavior I described above, where the scale is not retained once I add a RigidComponent to the scene file.

If I try to 'force' the scale by setting it in the game's update method, then things get *really* out of whack, and the character shape just starts listing to the side and jerking repeatedly.

Of course, you are correct.

I tested it with the same results and could not find a solution :(
Maybe it's a bug or it's not possible to scale such a rigged and animated character...
I think that I read something about that in the Torque Game Engine forums but I cannot find it...

#5 Thank you Zilla for double-checking. At least I know it's not just me with the problem :)
