Scale playermodels while creating them

[furchi]

I have a problem with my models of little characters, such as Pikachu. They are GIANT in-game. About the height of 1 and a half man. ¿How do I reduce the size of it to half-a-men height (about 1m)?
I used 3DS max to scale it with a male reference, but in-game doesn't care about it, its just enormous.

Thank you.

PD: If someone did Kennen (or his skins), Akali (or his skins), Riven (or his skins). Please send me a link, I wont share or anything, just for personal enjoyment.

you could try the $scale qc command when compiling. and...

league of legends? i know silverfang akali is on the sfm workshop. you could decompile it. or i'd have those raws still here. :)

Use the $scale command in your .QC before compiling. Since you're wanting it to be about half the size of an ordinary citizen, using $scale 0.45 or $scale 0.5 should work.

didn't read everything or math genius? x) meters 1 / (1.5 * ~1.8) = ??? ;)

[Katra804]

I read everything and made a suggestion based on what I read. If my math is off, then my math is off; without actually having the model to work with or a screenshot of how the model appears in-game, that's just a rough suggestion based on what they stated. It's not like OP can't make the adjustments from what I suggested anyways, so they can lower the value if what I suggested is still too large for their liking.

an essay about a joke? ugh. x)

I put "$scale 0.5" command in my .QC before compiling, compiled it, and nothing. Still giant.

[episoder]

where you put it? it's gonna be at the top before you define the $model or $body.

According to the [URL="https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$scale"]Valve dev wiki page for $scale[/URL], $scale only affects .SMD files that come after it in the QC. Using the example from the same page:

$modelname		"weapons/shell.mdl"
$cdmaterials	"models/weapons/"
 
$scale		3		// before any SMDs
$body		shell	"shell_ref.smd"
$sequence	idle	"shell_idle.smd"

You basically have to place it before any lines that specifically call for a .SMD in your .QC file before compiling.

Ok, so I tried that way, but the model now looks tall but skinny, like a SLENDERMAN Kennen xD. It seems only the model scales but not the skeleton. :(
The QC file looks like this:

Thank you so much to all :)!

Yeah, I believe you have to use CaptainBigButt's proportion workaround in that case.

This guy goes into pretty good detail about it: [url]https://sites.google.com/site/zeqmacaw/tutorials/proportion-trick[/url]

Thank, you I will
