Hi!
When reading the scale of an object (linked to a terrain zone) via iObjectInstance::GetScale(), I get values that are off by a factor of 100 from the values displayed in the GUI (Transform->Basic Transformation->Scale).
What could be the reason for that?
thx

Hi,
In the UI we keep % values (since these are more user friendly), while in the SDK the values are the mathematical transformation. So in the UI 100 means 100% size while in the SDK it is 1 (unscaled).
Regards,

Well I thought so  But I think this really is something worth documenting.

| Yes, we will update the docs. We've taught that artists always considered scale as a % thing while programmers think of it as a mathematical transformation. But you are right, better to have it documented. Thanks for pointing that out. |
