# llScaleTexture

*LSL function*

```lsl
void llScaleTexture(float u, float v, integer face);
```

- `float u`: Horizontal (U) texture repeats scale value, in the interval [-100.0, 100.0].
- `float v`: Vertical (V) texture repeats scale value, in the interval [-100.0, 100.0].
- `integer face`: Face number or ALL_SIDES.

- Delay: 0.2 s
- Energy: 10

Sets the diffuse texture horizontal u and vertical v scales (repeats) on the specified face of the prim. Setting face to ALL_SIDES updates all sides. Negative scale values flip the texture.

Sets the texture **u** & **v** scales for the chosen **face**.

```lsl title="How to use" frame="terminal"
llScaleTexture(0.0, 0.0, 0);
```

## Specification

In the default texture mapping mode the scale units are in texture repeats per face. In the planar texture mapping mode the scale units are in texture repeats per half meter. This is in contrast to the in-world editing tool, in which the planar texture scaling units are repeats per meter.

## Examples

<summary>Example 1</summary>

```lsl collapse={5-25, 31-42}
// WARNING:
//      llScaleTexture has a delay of 200 miliseconds
//      that means every time the function is called within a script it'll take 0.2 seconds
//      for example the script below would take about 1.2 seconds....that's REALLY SLOW !!!
//
//      To work around that delay use the following instead:
//
//
//      llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(integer link,
//          [PRIM_TEXTURE, integer face, string texture, vector repeats, vector offsets, float rotation_in_radians]);

// *******************************************************************************************************************

//Scales the textures on 6 sides
float scale;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        integer index;
        while (index < 7)
        {
            scale += 0.1;
            llScaleTexture((float)scale, (float)scale, index);

            ++index;
        }
    }
}

// output:
//      face 0 >> 0.1
//      face 1 >> 0.2
//      face 2 >> 0.3
//      face 3 >> 0.4
//      face 4 >> 0.5
//      face 5 >> 0.6
//      face 6 >> 0.7
```
