In a loop, this....

scale object total,object size x(total)+1, object size y(total)+1, object size z(total)+1

Will stop after the first scale UP. That's because the scale isn't remembered. I want the same loop, but with the new scale added to the last scale. I just want a simple command if possible. I don't want to store all of the scales in a DIM because I have at least 600000 of them.

Adding a flag value of 1 to the object size functions will retrieve the current size (as opposed to the default size you get when not providing the flag / setting it to zero). You should be able to make use of both those functionalities to determine the current scale of the object like so:


Also remember that the scale object function takes a percentage value, with 100 being the standard scale.

Hmmm, this still stops scaling....



Edit: Just saw Brendy Boy's answer. Nope, still doesn't work.

I don't know if this will be of any help to you, but you could use the vertexdata commands and scale the vertices by your percentage. In this fashion you would not have to store the scales but they would be in the mesh and in addition if you need to know how much they have been scaled you have a reference mesh that you could check the difference against any arbitraily scaled mesh. This would give you your x,y,z scale percentages and in addition you would not have to have a lage array that stores each meshes scale.
