Enemy sprite size limits?

With ZDOOM or gzdoom is it now possible to make enemies any larger than the Cyb Demon?

I can't seem to fit in an AT AT without having to scale it down a bit, which...

...makes it way to small.

A sprite is just a graphic so there size shouldn't matter. But the game engine will have problems with extremely large objects. The engine just isn't made for them.

Cutmanmike made a gigantic squid before. The Cybdemon looks like a small health bonus pickup compared to it. O_O

That would be interesting to see.

It's scaled by 4 in DECORATE. I can't remember how tall it is in pixels.

Would it be possible to share a wad with that sprite and decorate script for me to study?

I'd really like to get this down.

Another question, when you shoot at the top or bottom of the scaled sprite, does it still register as a hit, or is it for look only?

The monster takes 12 actors 10 sounds and a hellova lot of ACS, and I don't feel like decompiling all this mumbo jumbo. Plus, when this eventually gets released it'll be a suprise

I remember a thread over at the ZDF's where Geist and Bouncy made oversized monsters (after saying I dare someone to try and create a monster that approaches the size of Ugh-Zan III from SS:FE)

Looks like Cutman has done that in this case.

All I want is an At ST that is hardly larger than a Cyb Demon. :/

Then it should work fine.

No because the height of the Cyber Demon is a bit too low for an AT-ST. A shame too.

In decorate, try scale 2.0

yeah... scale is useful when you have sprites but monster need to be bigger
