FindParam:scale(factor)

Applies scaling or offset to FindParam.

Detailed Explanation

This section explains when to use the API, how to call it, and which structures it works best with in production flow.

What It Does

FindParam:scale performs one focused job in script flow and can be chained cleanly with other API steps. Applies scaling or offset to FindParam.

When To Use It

Parameter objects work best when prepared in a dedicated variable and reused across search or action calls. This API becomes most valuable in multi-step chained scenarios.

Parameters and Return

factor define the purpose of the call; preparing them in clearly named variables before execution makes production debugging easier. The safest usage pattern is to store the call result in a variable, wrap it with pcall, and pass it into later steps in a controlled way.

Best Combined With

This object is mostly used to prepare input for action APIs such as Region, Touch, or Request.

Example Usage

The snippet below is a starter pattern that can be applied directly in runtime flow.

lua

-- FindParam:scale
local result = FindParam:scale(1.0)
-- Use the result in your script flow

Copyable Progressive Examples

From foundation to combined usage, each level is provided as a separate code block so you can copy the level you need and adapt it directly.

Foundation

Shows the shortest direct way to call the API.

Foundation

lua

-- FindParam:scale
local result = FindParam:scale(1.0)
-- Use the result in your script flow

Simple

Wraps the base call with minimal flow control.

Simple

lua

local stepOk = true
-- FindParam:scale
local result = FindParam:scale(1.0)
-- Use the result in your script flow
if stepOk then
  wait(200)
end

Practical Flow

A practical pattern for real macros with pcall, logging, and guards.

Practical Flow

lua

local ok, result = pcall(function()
  -- FindParam:scale
  local result = FindParam:scale(1.0)
  -- Use the result in your script flow
end)

if not ok then
  print("API step failed: FindParam:scale")
  requestStop()
end

Detailed

This level packages the API into a reusable helper with error reporting.

Detailed

lua

-- Parameter objects work best when prepared in a dedicated variable and reused across search or action calls.
local function run_scale_step()
  -- FindParam:scale
  local result = FindParam:scale(1.0)
  -- Use the result in your script flow
end

local ok, err = pcall(run_scale_step)
if not ok then
  toast("Step failed")
  print(err)
end

Combined

Combines the API with related structures to form a more realistic workflow.

Combined

lua

-- FindParam:scale
local result = FindParam:scale(1.0)
-- Use the result in your script flow
wait(200)
print("Combined with logging and flow control")
