# SetScale<no value>
![The SetScale Node](images/2_DevMode/vfx_editor/nodes/setscale_1.png)This **Node** will scale an input (x) by a given magnitude (scale). When specifying the input value and the scale, you can supply [Node Inputs](#input), or add fixed values to the node input boxes, or you can add them through the [Inspector](../menus/#h5) window:

### Node Inputs

The SetScale node permits the following inputs:

 

-   ##### X

    This is the value that is to be scaled and can be a float, integer or a vector. If a vector is supplied, then each of the component values will be scaled by the scale magnitude of the node.

 

-   ##### Scale

    This is the magnitude that is to be used to scale the input (x) value by. This can be a fixed value, or it can be set using another node.

 

 

### Node Output

The node will output a value scaled by the magnitude given for the scale, and the output will be of the same type as the input, ie: a scalar if the input was a scalar, or a vector if the input was a vector.
