Scale a gameobject independently in all axes

Hi,
I'm new to Unity and trying to figure out how to scale a cube from a script independently in all axes and both directions.

This is the data I get from external source:
Xpositive : int
Xnegative: int
Ypositive : int
Ynegative: int
Zpositive : int
Znegative: int

I have tried to Create Empty object, and adding a cube as child, then adding the script to the empty object and move the origin of the empty object(parent) to a side of the cube, and then I can use this:

Code (CSharp):

1. transform.localScale = new Vector3(Xpositive, Ypositive , Zpositive );

But this only work for one axis, in one direction. How can I make it scale in all axes and both directions independently?

 

Just a conceptual question: but how would you scale something, anything, independantly in the positive and negative x-direction? They are the same value. Like trying to move an object independantly in the positive and negative x position. It can only exist at one position at a time.

 

Sounds like what you want to do is to scale it using both ends of the axis, and then change its position to the centerpoint of those?
e.g.

Code (csharp):

1. float xPosition = transform.position.x + (Xpositive - Xnegative);
2. float xScale = Xpositive + Xnegative;

 

I'm not at my pc but I will give my best trying to give you a working script.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. public class Exsample : MonoBehavior
4. {
5.     public float scaleSpeed = 5f;
6.  
7.     void Update()
8.     {
9.         transform.localScale = new Vecror3(transform.localScale.x + scaleSpeed * Time.deltaTime , transform.localScale.y + scaleSpeed * Time.deltaTime, transform.localScale.z + scaleSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
10.     }
11. }

As I said I am not on my pc so I was not able to test it but it should work although you might have to change the + to an *

 

Thanks for your reply. I wasn't clear enough when first asking, and didn't provide enough information.
The pos/neg values are relative to the origin which I also receive.

So in addition to the previously mentioned data, I also get the origin(position) as integers x, y, z. And rotation for the x axis as an integer of angle. (which I also need to figure out) If that makes any sense?

Thanks! Why didn't I figure that out myself I'll try it. As mentioned above, i just need to figure how to rotate as well.

Thanks, I can try it out and see how it behaves
