#Invalid proportions behavior

I'm making zombie legs boss, and there is some issue related to proportions trick.
Basically, i just set parameter $scale in model to make it bigger, and then make proportion trick
The thing is, i made a couple of new animations for this, and they work incorrectly with increased size.
But i noticed, when i disable the "autoplay" option in proportion sequence and apply it in Model Viewer, the animations start look right, and even other z_anm animations looks better, instead of ik of course, any idea how to fix this with autoplay enabled?
The trick:

$sequence reference "anims/new_z_ref.smd" scale 0.5714285 fps 1

$animation a_proportions "anims/new_z_ref.smd" subtract reference 0

$sequence "ragdoll" {
    "anims\new_z_ref.smd"
    activity "ACT_DIERAGDOLL" 1
    scale 0.5714285
    fadein 0.2
    fadeout 0.2
    fps 30
}

$scale 1
$include "extra_anims2_rescale.qci"
$scale 1.75

$sequence proportions a_proportions predelta fps 1 //autoplay
$includemodel "z_anm.mdl"

The videos where you can see the difference, second one is the how animations suppose to look

$scale is pretty broken in general, I personally just avoid it entirely if I can help it.

Try using lua to resize nextbots. It’s the same method tf2 uses in MVM.

Garry's Mod Wiki
Entity:SetModelScale

Scales the model of the entity, if the entity is a Player or an NPC the hitboxes will be scaled as well.
For some entities, calling Entity:Activate after this will scale the collision bounds and PhysObj as well; be wary as there's no optimization being done internally and highly complex collision models might crash the server.
This is the same s...

Failing that you can always scale your model up within Blender, that’s what the proportion trick exists for.

One other thing I can consider is just making the animations yourself

#

You don't need to use the proportion trick if you make your own animations

It relies on how autoplay works in the engine. Which is why I don't like using that type of proportion trick

#

I wish there was a script that just batch transforms existing animations...
