The Size block is a Looks block and a reporter block. The block holds its sprite's size and can also be displayed as a Stage Monitor.

Example Uses

The size block is not commonly used; although many projects use the Set Size to () block, they rarely need to know about a sprite's current size. Usually a change in size is pre-planned, such as in animations.

Some common uses are:

• Math tools and formulas
• 3 dimensional scenes where points are partly based on size values
• Changing an effect based on the size
• Bouncing an object (from a bird's eye view)

To implement the fourth, the following script can be used:

when flag clicked
forever
set size to (100)%
repeat (10)
change size by ((size) / (10))
wait (0.1) secs
end
repeat (10)
change size by (((size) / (10)) * (-1))
wait (0.1) secs
end
end

Workaround

Main article: List of Block Workarounds

This block can be replicated with the following code:

([size v] of (wanted sprite v))
//or
when gf clicked
forever
set size to (sizе)%
end
//Then, you can use
(sizе)
//to get the size and
set [size v] to [100]
//to set it.
