Vector math?

I need a way to scale ONLY the axis Z by a decrementing value.

start_amount = //current Z
start_amount = start_amount-0.5;
or something like that. how can I just do simple subtraction and multiplication on a vector element? i'm having trouble there. I even tried to set it to float to work on it but that doesn't seem to work. i'm stuck.

I use llGetScale to get the vector, but then I want to llSetScale but ONLY z and decrementing at that. make sense?

CODE

vector size = llGetScale();
size.z *= 0.5;
llSetScale( size );

For future reference check out LSL Wiki, it covers tons of things like that ^^
