Scaling a physical entity

[smashthewindow]

I'm trying to recreate something like the mushroom effect in Super Mario game. (Mario turns bigger.)

But in my case, I have to scale a model entity.

I began searching the API, and I found this page.

Scaling should not be used with physics bodies.

Is there any specific reason for this? (eg: the collision information does not get scaled, etc)

I think that the Bodys are static(when you load a model a phy file will create) ,so you can't scale that.But you can try to make a physics hull in your game(in C++) with the Surface of the mesh und try to scale it.,

Well if that's the case it's no problem for me, as I'm just trying to scale simple spheres anyways. Thanks for the reply.
