Mel problem... On a simple variable!

[svenip]

curve -p 0 0 0 ;
int $i;
for ($i = 0; $i = 4; $i++)
{
curve -r $i 0 0 curve1;
curve -r 0 0 $i curve1;

$cmd = "curve -r -"+$i*(-1)" 0 0 curve1;";
eval $cmd
}

Your also setting i = 4; on the check part of the for loop; Set it to <= 4 or

I don't think sven's code is going to do much. There are a number of syntax issues and it's quite the work around for this simplified version:

curve -p 0 0 0 ;
int $i;
for ($i = 0; $i = 4; $i++) {
curve -r $i 0 0 curve1;
curve -r 0 0 $i curve1;
curve -r ($i * -1) 0 0 curve1;
}

While having the correct syntax and avoiding the eval command, this also does nothing because the -r (Replace) is expecting the name (string) of the curve to be replaced instead of a spatial coordinate.

What is it that you are expecting from this code? Using the -a and -p flags creates something somewhat recognizable in the form of a funky, lobsided spiral. As in:

curve -p 0 0 0 ;
int $i;

for ($i=0; $i<5; $i++) {
curve -a -p $i 0 0 curve1;
curve -a -p 0 0 $i curve1;
curve -a -p($i * -1) 0 0 curve1;
}
