Increase or Decrease a Projectiles size?

[Super Shadow]

I dled a model from the Hive and it is an apc but extremely small. I have to make it like 4 times its size to make it decent. I gave it fire arrow attack as its projectile but then that becomes really huge! How do i increase or decreaes projectile sizes?

This would be cool info to know for future stuff like giant fireballs or something

For your situation, you can remove scaling of projectile

Art - Scale Projectiles <- set it to false
(its right above scaling value)

but what if u want to make it bigger?

Without model editing or a custom system for projectiles (not recommended) you can't.

can u trigger it then? cause i see sometimes for abilites people make a dummy unit with the ability locust and somehow use that or something

If you want to use dummy units as projectile, there are a few things to note:

If projectile speed is below 522, you can simple create a "dummy" at the
location of the attacker and order it to move to the target.

If you projectile speed is higher, read this:

Digest and apply it making your "projectile" faster then normal.
You can also do a search in the forums for "Slide" for a simpler version.

You need to time the death of your projectile so that it "dies" when it hits.
You can use "distance between 2 points" and "speed of your projectile" to get the time.

In additon, if you want your "projectile" to create an "Arc" instead of moving straight, you can read this:

it all seems to complicated for me and might cause lag or leaks if there are lots of units doing it, so is there a way to convert a projectile to a model and toggle size then import it?
