In Xna a spritebatch can be passed a value for scale. I have A bounding box Rectangle that i have a border drawn around my sprite using the bounding box rect.

Now my question Scale can make the sprite go up just fine,but how can i get the bounding box rect to scale up with the scale propertie?

    \$\begingroup\$ Are you looking to uniformly scale? i.e: the whole box increases by a factor of two around the origin? \$\endgroup\$

Just adjust the size of the bounding box to factor in the scale.

i.e.

Rectangle boundingBox = new Rectangle(texture.Width * scaleX, texture.Height * scaleY)

texture refers to the Texture2D instance of your image. scaleX and scaleY are the horizontal and vertical scaling components respectively, with the trivial case of scaleX = scaleY when you scale uniformly.

Edit: if the origin of the image is not the default (top-left corner), you should also adjust your rectangle by the origin point.

  • \$\begingroup\$ i still have a problem when I tried this before i posted this question but when I multiply scale * texture scale is a float so when I cast it to a int it gets 1.9999999 .I don't no why this is happening \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @koss float are represented via the equation (Significant digits × base ^ exponent). Unfortunately that can only represent a finite number on values so when you tell it to represent a value that is impossible to represent (2.0) it gives you closest value it can represent (1.999999). \$\endgroup\$
