How do I increase sprite size with movement?

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how to scale up the size of a simple sprite as it moves?

For example if I do the following to move the sprite on the Y axis:

On Every Tick -> Sprite.Y+1

I'd like Sprite.Height to increase by 1

But if I do:

On Every Tick -> Sprite.Height + 1

It just grows every tick, and balloons right out of the whole screen.

Is there any way of increasing size in proportion to the distance travelled?

I figured it out - I had to set sprite scale proportional to Y.

Every tick -> Set Scale to Sprite.Y

I'm a little confused as to why

Every tick -> Set Sprite.Width to Y will just keep growing bigger and bigger?

Oh well at least scale works :)

Every Tick is a Timing Function of the Engine..not a movement coordinate..so having Every tick means that every cycle of the Game code the sprite will do what you tell it to...

In your case..that meant growing 1 pixel 60 times a sec or so..:)

to scale by movement you would need to define either X or Y movement or both ..to correlate to the Scale of the sprite....
