How do I get this to grow and shrink?

Hi all,

I am trying to figure this out and am just hitting a brick wall. I am trying to get this to pulsate like a heart..so for it to have a heart beat, it doesn't have to be the fancy one, just grow and shrink over and over again. So with my little knowledge I put together a Weaverbird mesh offset with a timer that then has a Boolean toggle, but I cant figure out how to Get it to repeat over and over again, with it growing and shrinking at the same rate.. I managed to get it to grow, but cant figure out how to get it to stop at a certain size, and then shrink at the same rate. Ideally, every time it pusates it would grow a bit more, the pulse would make it larger, because I want it to explode in the end. If you have any suggestions, please let me know, Ive been trying for hours!

Thanks!

Hmm ...

Get this that does some other things as well (basically it buys and sells condonation in NYSE); a sardine (of the finest quality: a Da Morgada sardine, no less) is added for your case. For the moment it goes from max to min sardine (*) but adding "steps" is piece of cake.

If is what you need, I'll modify the C# in order to accept:

1. any combo of Brep/Mesh objects (like yours or some other),

2. add a random scale option.

3. steps in scale.

4. rotation options.

5. and a variety of some other stuff as well.

Sardine scale and anchor point is user controllable (and a variety of other things as well - for instance the timer interval):
