Eleri's Dumb Question of the Day- object sizes

[Eleri]

Have made the sprites for objects in graphics program. Pull them into game and place them, and they're too big for scene. Can I make them smaller in game, or do I have to go remake the sprite?

I found stuff about scaling when things are moving, but not 'dangit, I made this newspaper the same size as the sofa!'

You can't scale objects directly; you could scale the sprite though (by putting a copy into a DynamicSprite and resizing it). Way too much hassle though.

Scale it down in a graphics program and in the future, draw objects in a separate layer on top of your room background.

Unless you need the object to be that size, then your best option would be to resize it in your normal editing program. Otherwise, you could use a walkable area directly underneath where the object needs to be at to scale it down..or use a character and manually scale it that way.

thanks guys Figuring out how big I need something is a huge mental block for some reason. Doing the object on the background is so blindingly obvious, I'm gonna go bap my head against my keyboard for a few now. *weghl'ghwegwenio[ebui*
