Question Sealing gap created when scaling 2D square

Hello, I have a problem with achieving perfect non-uniform scaling. Here is an example of the issue:



How do I mathematically adjust the scaling of the sprites to seal the square?
I've been trying different approaches, but nothing has worked.

Code (CSharp):

1. //Upper Section
2. tileSection.tileTransform.localPosition = new Vector2(0.5f * transform.localScale.x, 0);
3. tileSection.tileTransform.localScale = new Vector3(transform.localScale.x, 1 / transform.localScale.y, 1 / transform.localScale.z);

Thank you!

 

Hi.

So are you trying to create something like a nine slice sprite?

Can't you use UI system and let it to do this for you?

 

This isn't a UI component, it's a set of eight sprites with box colliders.

 

OK, I simply asked if you could use UI for whatever you are trying to do.

If you are looking for a way to scale something to fit some distance between a and b you could do something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. blockScale = distance / blockLen;

So if your block has length of 1.5 and your distance between a and b is 3, then the resulting blockScale will be 2.
