I'm a worthless melscripter, but I need to setup a very very simple thing:

I have five objects. Now I want to make object2 translate 0.9 times the translation of object1. And make object3 translate 0.8 times the translation of object1, and so forth..

I reckon it's deadsimple, but I just don't have the time to dive into melscripting for a few days to get the basics in my head..

got it!!
Googled a bit and found this script:

int $frameOffset = 3;
int $currentFrame = `currentTime -q`;

for ($i=1; $i<=300; $i++)
{
int $currentOffset = $currentFrame - ($frameOffset*$i);
string $CMD = "setAttr domino" + $i + ".rz " + `getAttr -t $currentOffset dominoMaster.rz`;
eval $CMD;
}

that does the trick!
