Scaling Sprite Not working

[mblazek]

I am making a health bar.

So i have two tk2dSprite's  In code I want to adjust the scale of the tk2dSprite that is the fill.   I think I am doing everything correctly but it does nothing to the sprite at all:

Code: [Select]

public float scaleToSet = .5f;
tk2dSprite myBar;

// Use this for initialization
void Awake () {
Debug.Log (myBar);
myBar = (tk2dSprite)transform.GetComponent<tk2dSprite> ();
myBar.scale.Set (scaleToSet, 1.0f, 1.0f);
}


void Update () {


}

public void scaleX() {
myBar.scale.Set (scaleToSet, 1.0f, 1.0f);
Debug.Log ("WE SHOULD SCALE: " + scaleToSet);
}

I will be calling scaleX from another script.. but for testing on awake i tell it to scale to .5 and it does not do anything.   

Please help.

Its actually flashing now.  So if looks like it scales then jumps back up to full.

.scale is a property of a value type (Vector3). You can't call .Set on it as it will be setting it to a temporary variable that is discarded.
You should always do myBar.scale = new Vector3(...)
