About
SetTargetPlayerBodyVal lets you modify the physical proportions of a player's character in real time. Target the player, specify which body region to resize (0, 21), and apply a scale value to make it larger or smaller. Positive values enlarge the part; negative values shrink it. A scale of 0 is neutral.
This is useful for testing character customization, creating visual variety on roleplay servers, or correcting unwanted appearance changes. The command only affects the targeted player, use it while that player is online and within range of your character or admin panel.
