## Entity.setModelScale() method

Sets the scale of the entity's model and proportionally scales its colliders.

**Signature:**

```typescript
setModelScale(modelScale: Vector3Like | number): void;
```

modelScale

[Vector3Like](./server.vector3like.md) \| number


</td><td>

The scale of the entity's model. Can be a vector or a number for uniform scaling.

\*\*Side effects:\*\* Scales existing colliders and emits `EntityEvent.SET_MODEL_SCALE` when spawned.

\*\*Category:\*\* Entities

</tbody></table>
**Returns:**

void

## Remarks

Model entities only; no effect for block entities.

\*\*Collider scaling is relative:\*\* Colliders are scaled by the ratio of new/old scale, not set to absolute values. Example: scaling from 1 to 2 doubles collider size; scaling from 2 to 4 also doubles it.

\*\*Reference equality check:\*\* Uses `===` to compare with current scale, so passing the same object reference will early return even if values changed. Always pass a new object.
