How do I Resize Several Objects Together?

It is interesting how is it possible to resize a group of objects via events just like when you select several sprites and hit Enter in the editor?

You can put the objects into a family and then resize the family in one event line.

Doesn't seem to help unfortunately, they still resize separately.

Try this example:

Nah that's not what I need. Try selecting several objects in editor, hit "Enter" and then resize them, you'll understand what am I talking about.

If you want to do it right it would take some maths - finding the center among the objects, then finding a ratio of movement outward based on the size increase, etc. But is it needed in your case? Do you need to scale them just like in an editor, is the position different in each case? Or is it just the type of growing movement where the sprites grow and distance between them grows as well?

Both variants are good! Can you make some capx examples?

I'm not sure I understand the question, but if you want to scale a group of sprites as if they are disappearing into the distance then Somebody is right, you need a bit of maths to scale them and their relative distances to/from a horizon-reference point.

You could also paste them into a Paster object and just scale that object instead. I'm on my phone so can't do an example until later...

The capx in this post may help.

Otherwise here's the math to scale any object around a point (centerx, centery). Just do it for all the objects you want to scale around that point.

set x to (self.x-centerx)*scale + centerx

set y to (self.y-centery)*scale + centery

Set width to self.width*scale

Set height to self.height*scale

R0J0hound whoops, seems like I've got something wrong(as usual) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/130 ... scale.capx
