Eng:Size (block)

The Size block is a Looks block and a Reporter block. The block holds its sprite's size. This block can be displayed as a Stage monitor.

Example Uses
The block is not commonly used; although many projects use the Set Size to block, rarely do they need to know a sprite's current size. Usually a change in size is pre-planned, such as in animations.

Some common uses are:
 * Math tools and formulas
 * 3 dimensional scenes where points are partly based on size values
 * Changing an effect based on the size
 * Bouncing an object (from a bird's eye view)

To implement the fourth, the following script can be used:

when flag clicked forever set size to (100)% repeat (10) change size by ((size) / (10)) wait (0.1) secs end repeat (10) change size by (((size) / (10)) * (-1)) wait (0.1) secs end end

Workaround
This block can be replicated with the following code:

([size v] of [wanted sprite v]) //or when gf clicked forever set size to (size)% end //Then, you can use (size) //to get the size and set [size v] to [100] //to set it.
