The LocalScale property of a GameObject represents the scale of the object relative to its parent. This property is a Vector3 type, allowing you to set or get the scale along the X, Y, and Z axes independently. Adjusting the local scale affects the size of the GameObject in the scene, but does not impact its position or rotation.
To modify the local scale of a GameObject, you can directly set the LocalScale property with a new Vector3 value. This is useful for dynamically resizing objects in your scene based on gameplay events or user interactions.
// Example of setting the local scale of a GameObject GameObject myObject = new GameObject(); myObject.LocalScale = new Vector3(2.0f, 2.0f, 2.0f); // Doubles the size of the object in all dimensions // Example of getting the local scale of a GameObject Vector3 currentScale = myObject.LocalScale; // Output the current scale // Note: Avoid using Console.WriteLine in Sandbox, use in-game debugging tools instead
