Stretching Scale

[pulsar coral]

My hold notes are doing that. They shouldn't be, that was unintended
I want them to scale according to the distance between two parts of the actual hold note, see below

but for some reason my code does not necessarily provide the outcome I'm expecting, if i provide code, can somebody help?

[clear heath]

I'm not clear what the problem is.

Are the bars too tall?

[pulsar coral]

oh okay let me elaborate

[pulsar coral]

the bars are

1. wayy too tall
2. going outside of the boundaries of the TopOfNote and BottomOfNote (those tiny things in this picture)

[clear heath]

and how are these things being drawn?

are they Images on a canvas?

sprite renderers? planes?

[pulsar coral]

SpriteRenderers

[clear heath]

how's the hierarchy set up?

[clear heath]

so TopOfNote is sitting by itself, and then the bar and BottomOfNote are both under "child"?

[pulsar coral]

yes because TopOfNote has to wait a certain amount of time before moving downward, if I child it to "child" then it'll move with child

[clear heath]

ah, it appears in advance of the note starting to fall down?

[pulsar coral]

it appears after certain time (after note falls down)

its meant to be an effect where note infinitely goes downward until Top is touching the trigger of the Hitbox, which is another issue by itself but yeah

i dont know if there is a better way to just fill the space between the two areas with one single "Middle" being stretched among them or multiple "Middle"s

[clear heath]

so how are you computing the size of the middle graphic?

i'd kinda guess you're sclaing both "child" and "Middle"

[pulsar coral]

with this: ```cs
float distance = Mathf.Abs(TopOfNote.transform.position.y - BottomOfNote.transform.position.y);
float newYScale = distance * 1f;
float newYPosition = newYScale / 2.0f; // get new Y based on the current scale
Vector3 newScale = new Vector3(1.0f, newYScale, 1.0f);
Vector3 newPosition = new Vector3(MiddleOfNote.transform.position.x, MiddleOfNote.transform.position.y + newYPosition, MiddleOfNote.transform.position.z);
MiddleOfNote.transform.localScale = Vector3.Lerp(MiddleOfNote.transform.localScale, newScale, Time.deltaTime * 5.0f); // and interpolate yeye

[clear heath]

does the error get worse when the notes get longer?

[pulsar coral]

yes..

[clear heath]

perhaps the middle part isn't one unit tall when at a scale of 1

[pulsar coral]

okay

i've fixed that issue now it's a slightly bit different

they all just start goign upward
