Kinda confused about scaling objects; when i try and make an object shrink beyond its normal size it just dissapears; so then i try having it shrink by 0.1 and it still just vanishes.

Any suggestions
I just want the object t slow vanish as if its flying of into the distance. Edited by -Dark Martin-

Try Set Scale to XScale of Object * 0.9. If you want it to be more gradual try 0.99 or 0.95 and if you want it to be faster try 0.8, etc.

Yeah, that code says -0.1, and you can't have a negative scale. -0.1 is not the same as what OldManClayton said, which is XScale-0.1, so yeah.

Here's how it works:
1 is actual size. 2 is double size. 0.5 is half size.
I do wish we could "set width" and "set height" BY PIXELS. There's an extension that does this I believe.
Hope this helps.

Well instead of negative one, try making it relative to the object :
XScale( "Active object 5" )-0.01
Try it!
Edit: looks like it's already been solved, I should read the previous posts more often. Edited by 0ko
