# scale(to:duration:)

Creates an action that changes the x and y scale values of a node to achieve

## Declaration

```swift
class func scale(to size: CGSize, duration: TimeInterval) -> SKAction
```

## Parameters

- `size`: The new size of the node.
- `duration`: The duration of the animation.

## Return Value

Return Value A new action object.

## Discussion

Discussion When the action executes, the node’s xScale and yScale properties are animated to achieve the specified size in its parent’s coordinate space. This action is not reversible; the reverse of this action has the same duration but does not change anything.
