Rafal,
Hi my friend.

The expression "?" component works fine but I think you have two errors:

1. You can't have a variable called "size".  That is a keyword.
2. The syntax for the conditional expression is:

( C ? A : B )

and not

C ? A : B

You had missed the brackets

In my tests,

#local big=false;
#local msize = (big ? 100 : 50);
#debug concat("Output: ",str(msize,1,1),"\n")

and

#local big=true;
#local msize = (big ? 100 : 50);
#debug concat("Output: ",str(msize,1,1),"\n")

work as expected.

See 3.2.1.3.3 Operators in the POV-Ray docs.
