Help inverting a number

Basically I am containing an attribute to the height of an actor, thought out time the actors height decreases. But the number on the attribute I want the same as the height but inverted. i.e actors height is 500, after 10 seconds is 300, I want my other attribute to be -500 then -300. not matter what the height is its returned inverted in other attribute. Any input would be great thanks

    height *-1

    or . . . . height-(height *2)

    or . . . . (height *2)*-0.5

    or simply . . . -height

    (and dozens of other ways)

    Wow, I'm surprised too. You could say it's almost a sin that he forgot it. B)

    I will now drink three bottles of red wine and reflect on where I went wrong with my initial post, if I don't get back to you with my thoughts I am probably asleep in the bath.
