Change sprite texture size and position

Hello!

I am changing a texture at runtime.

I am using this code:

cell.gameObject.GetComponentInChildren<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = Resources.Load("apple", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;

However I have not found a way to set the size and position of the texture.
The image is 256x256 pixels in size, and that is exactely the size that it is drawn onto the screen.
I would like to have it drawn in a smaller size.

Can somebody tell me how to change the size and preferrably also the position?

Thank you.

yourgameobject.transform.scale = new vector3(2,2,1); should work.

 

Almost. It'll be:

For scale:

Code (csharp):

1. float newScale = 0.5f; // half scale
2. yourGameObject.transform.localScale = new Vector3(newScale, newScale,1);

For position:

Code (csharp):

1. float newX = 123.1f
2. float newY = 321.5f
3. float newZ = 1f
4. yourGameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(newX, newY,newZ);

But it is often better base the position and size from the current like so:

Code (csharp):

1. Vector3 newScale = yourGameObject.transform.localScale;
2. // Lets keep the z scale since this is a sprite.
3. newScale.x *= 0.5f; // half the scale
4. newScale.y *= 0.5f; // half the scale
5. yourGameObject.transform.localScale = newScale;
6. //
7. // Note, you can not do:
8. //   yourGameObject.transform.localScale.x = someNewValue;
9. // You must always set the entire Vector3 object like shown in the examples above.
10. // The same applies for scale etc.
11.  
12. //
13. //Similarly for position do:
14. //
15. Vector3 newPosition = yourGameObject.transform.position;
16. // Lets keep the z position the same (for example)
17. newPosition.x = 200f; // set it at 200.
18. newPosition.y += 10f; // move it up 10
19.  
20. yourGameObject.transform.position = newPosition;
