What's "SetExpression" ? I can't find in the docs.
This worked for me:
var Model = Dictionary.GetObject("Model1")
var Camera = Dictionary.GetObject("Camera")
var myexpr = Model+".CustomPSet.Size * ctr_dist(
"+Model+".Sphere.kine.global.pos, "+Camera.Name+".kine.global.pos )"
var myParam = Dictionary.GetObject( Model+".Sphere.kine.local.sclx" );
myParam.AddExpression( myexpr )
