# Scaling Effect The **Scaling Effect** component is a utility designed for use with any GameObject, whether related to **Easy Grid Builder Pro 2** or not. This component acts as a **lighter version** of the **Buildable Object Effects** component, which is exclusive to Buildable Objects in **Easy Grid Builder Pro 2**. And allows you to add scaling effects to objects when they spawn. You can find this component in **SoulGames > Utilities > Scripts**.

### General Settings

Y Axis Curve	Defines the animation curve for scaling along the Y-axis.	No
Z Axis Curve	Defines the animation curve for scaling along the Z-axis.	No
Target Scale	The final scale of the object after the scaling animation	No
Random Delay	The range of random delay (in seconds) before the scaling animation starts	No

### Timing And Lifecycle Settings ***

Property	Function	Required
Stop Time	Specifies the duration (in seconds) for the scaling animation	No
Destroy On Complete	Determines whether the component is destroyed after the scaling animation is complete	No

## Example Use case You can use the **Scaling Effect** component with non-Buildable Objects to add a scaling effect when they spawn. For example, check out the **Demo - Procedural Nodes Grid Example** scene included with **Easy Grid Builder Pro 2**. In this demo, all the nodes (tiles generated by the procedural grid) feature a unique scaling effect when they spawn. This effect is achieved using the **Scaling Effect** component. Each node prefab in the scene has the **Scaling Effect** component attached with different values, creating distinct scaling animations for a unique visual effect.
