At least with models loaded from mdl's, you cannot resize its collision model / (& bounding box?). So if you moved the camera closer to the model before drawing it would appear bigger, but you could walk through the edges (But still hit the collision model at the center of that)
I don't particularly know how brush entities are stored, whether dynamically generated by the game when the map is loaded (In which case you might just be able to resize it), or stored in the bsp as an mdl Aditya Gaddam wrote: > When you say "Without Physics" do you mean that everything will just > walk through it? > > Thanks for the suggestion Ryan, I shall look into it. > > On Wed, Apr 2, 2008 at 3:36 AM, Tom Leighton > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Scaling (Without physics) is done by moving the camera in/out from the >> model (At least this was the jist i got from Facepunch Forums on a prop >> enlarger/shrinker). >> >> With physics cannot be done. >> >> >> >> Aditya Gaddam wrote: >> > P.S.
