BlzSetSpecialEffectScale

Parameters

whichEffect	effect	effect to scale
scale	real	scaling ratio (default: 1)

comment

Sets the new scale. The entire model will be scaled based on this value. If the effect has a matrix scale set, the final scale will be a result of multiplication.

Negative values cause models to be mirrored along every axis (including rendering under terrain due to negative Z).

Example (Lua):

Have you ever thought to peek under the skirt of a sorceress? I know you did. Pervert...

-- Creates model facing east
sorceress = AddSpecialEffect([[units\human\sorceress\sorceress.mdx]], 0,0)
BlzSetSpecialEffectScale(sorceress, -2) -- the model is now underground facing west, upside down
BlzSetSpecialEffectHeight(sorceress, 256) -- raise above the ground
BlzSetSpecialEffectYaw(sorceress, 3.14/2) -- rotate to face south
