## Syntax

```lua
bool setElementBoneScale(ped|object element, int|string bone, float x, y, z)
```

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `element` | `ped\|object` | The ped, player or object. An object needs a model with a skeleton or a node tree. |
| `bone` | `int\|string` | The bone. On a ped: an MTA bone id, a rig bone's tag or its name. On an object: a node's name or a bone's tag. |
| `x, y, z` | `float` | The scale on each axis, from 0 to 10: three numbers, one number for all three axes, or one `vec3`. `1` is the original size. |

## Returns

`true` if it was changed. `false` if the element is streamed out, the ped cannot scale that bone or the object is animated.

Whatever is attached to the bone follows it.

## Example

```lua
addCommandHandler("bighead", function()
    setElementBoneScale(localPlayer, 5, 2)
end)
```

### Note

Raises an error if the element has no such bone or a scale is outside 0 to 10. While the element is streamed out, it returns `false`.
