OK, I can do smooth (incremental) scaling/positioning with some functions:

CODE
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        vector scale = llGetScale();
        integer x;
        @loop;
        for (x = 0; x < 64; x++)
        {
            llSetScale(llGetScale() + <.02,0,0>);
        }

        for (x = 0; x < 64; x++)
        {
            llSetScale(llGetScale() - <.02,0,0>);
        }
        jump loop;
    }
}


...but I want to do them with llSetPrimitiveParams without having to write out the whole command for each increment:

CODE
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        @loop;
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<0,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.05,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.1,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.15,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.2,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.25,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.3,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.35,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.4,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.45,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.5,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.45,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.4,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.35,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.3,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.25,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.2,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.15,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.1,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,<.05,0,0>,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
        jump loop;
    }
}


I tried sticking a single llSetPrimitiveParams function inside the first script's "for" loop, but can't figure out how to get the variable I want to increment to actually increment, and call llSetPrimitiveParams each increment. :/

Use an external variable to generate the whole argument:
vector increment = <0.05, 0, 0>;
vector v = ZERO_VECTOR - increment;
and put this in the first for loop:
llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,g += increment,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);
and this in the second for loop:
llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE,PRIM_TYPE_TORUS,1,<0,1,0>,0,<0,0,0>,<.05,.05,0>,g -= increment,<0,1,0>,<0,0,0>,1,0,0]);

Ahh...I had to change "g" to "v" but it works great--thanks!

Now to figure out how to get around the .2-second delay between llSetPrimitiveParams calls... :/ Maybe have 2 scripts inversely phase-synced calling llSetPrimitiveParams? Hmm...

not recommended - those delays are there for a purpose. doing continual full-prim updates (on a torus!) even just 5 times a second is great if you are trying to build a lag generator :D but otherwise, there might be a better solution. What are you trying to accomplish?

Just want to do some dynamic sculpture. A client-side llSetPrimitiveParams would be nice...hell, client-side everything would be nice...
