getObjectScale object
Parameters:
object: Object - object to return scale of. Can also be a terrain object.Returns: Number - scale relative to the original model
private _objectScale = getObjectScale MyObject;
if (_objectScale == 1) exitWith { systemChat "Original scale"; };

{
systemChat "Scaled up";

systemChat "Scaled down";

Some objects can be scaled by XYZ individually by the engine. Rope segments are one example, they only scale by Z and this command returns average of all dimensions giving no real picture of the scale. You can get real scale of each dimension with:
[vectorMagnitude vectorSideVisual _seg, vectorMagnitude vectorDirVisual _seg, vectorMagnitude vectorUpVisual _seg]
for rope segment it will be something like [1,1,1.54066]
