group.setScaleEach()

Shrink or grow all the sprites in a group keeping the height to width ratio the same.

For example, a value of 2 will be make the sprite twice as big and a value of 0.5 will make the sprite half as big. Scaling up may make images blurry. The scale should always be a positive number.

The default scale is 1.

Examples

var group = createGroup();
group.add(createSprite(100, 200));
group.add(createSprite(300, 200));
function draw() {
  background("white");
  drawSprites();
  if (keyDown("right")){
      group.setScaleEach(1.5);
  }
  if (keyDown("left")){
      group.setScaleEach(0.1);
  }
}

Syntax

group.setScaleEach(scale)

Returns

No return value. Changes output in the display after drawSprites() is called.

Tips

• Groups of sprites all have the same functions and you use the dot notation (combining the name of the group, followed by a dot, with the function name) to call the function for that group of sprites.
• Any changes to the properties of a sprite will not be seen until after drawSprites() is called.
• If setColliderEach() is called for group before it is scaled, the collider is not scaled. But if a group of sprites is first scaled and then the collider set, the scale is also applied to the collider.
