Maximum Size?

In the project I'm working on, I'm trying to make the size of the sprite big, but it only lets me go to 138.7%, and I have no idea why. Can someone please help?

Hi,

The only reason I can think of that would cause the size limitation to be so low, would be if your sprite already took up the entire page. Make sure you haven't got a white (or any other colour that would blend in with your background) and then try again.

Hope this helps!

Scratch will automatically limit the range of sizes you can scale a sprite to in order to prevent the sprite from exceeding the size of the screen, but there are some handy workarounds. The most common one is to make a really small costume–such as a single pixel–and then use this set of blocks:

switch costume to [tiny costume v]
set size to [big number] %
switch costume to [big costume v]

That way the scaling happens while the sprite is using a really small costume, which can be made much bigger without Scratch limiting its size, and the sprite maintains its large scale when switching to the other costume.

Hope this helps!

The maximum size you can apply to a sprite is 54000 (I discovered this by setting the size of a sprite with a 1 pixel costume very high).

There is a limit to sizes. Every costume has it's own limit. It depends on the costume size. Same with Xs and Ys. If something is at like x 999 and y 999 it will switch it to it's own max. (And the X could be bigger or smaller than 240 and Y can also be bigger or smaller than 180. It just depends on the size of the costume.)

So switching to a 1-pixel costume, then set the size to 54000, then switching to the desired costume should work

I'm glad you want to help, but this was resolved quite a while ago.

Please don’t necropost, and block spam. I’m gonna report close this so nothing else happens.
