Hy all!

My problem is the following:
#declare sk=1;
#if (clock<55)no_image
#end
#if(clock>=55)
#if((clock-54)*5<25.9)#declare sk=(clock-54)*5;
#else #declare sk=25.9;
#end
#end
scale <sk,sk,sk>

When clock reaches the 55 value, it should be scale in every clock after that,
and when sk would be =30, then it scale get 25.9.
My problem is nothing happens. But why?
the object I try to animate remains invisible.
Help me, pls.

If I write scale 25.9, the object appeares good.

It depends on how you use the clock and initiate your animation.
If, for example, you start your animation using +kff100, then, the clock 
variable will go from 0 to 1. It will nefer reatch the value of 55, and 
thus, the first #if will always evaluate as true and set no_image.

Change the your code as follow:
#declare sk=1;
#if (clock< 0.55)no_image
#end
#if(clock>= 0.55)
#if((clock- 0.54)*5<0.259)#declare sk=(clock- 0.54)*5;
#else #declare sk=25.9;
#end
#end
scale <sk,sk,sk>

Then, you can combine the tests:
#if (clock < 0.55) no_image
#else // This replace "#if(clock>= 0.55)"
#if((clock- 0.54)*5 <0.259) #declare sk=(clock- 0.54)*5;
#else #declare sk=25.9;
#end
#end


You may need to adjust the value of the sk variable to acount for the 
effective range of the clock variable and it's derived values.
