This is my script

for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i = $i + 1)
{
float $curvealgo = sin($i);
float $scale = cos($i);
string $name = "test" + $i;
duplicate -rr;
move -r 0 1.365854 0 ;
scale -r $scale $scale $scale ;
rename ("test" + $i);
print ($name);

string $object = ($name + ".translateY");
float $nameprop = `getAttr $object`;
if ($nameprop >7){
rotate -r -ws 0 0 -89.682647 ;
move -r 2.926829 -5 0 ;
else if ( $nameprop > 0 )
move -r 0 20 0;
}
}

I'm getting the following syntax error

// Error: else if ( $nameprop > 0 )
//
// Error: Syntax error //

obviously i'm not using the comand correctly.

can some one show me how to integrate the else if into the script properly. the mel command referance is'nt much help on this. I realy appreciate all the help i've gotten on this site in the past.

I think you just need a few more brackets. It needs to know where the if statement starts and stops and same for the else if. The changes I made are in red.

for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i = $i + 1)
{
float $curvealgo = sin($i);
float $scale = cos($i);
string $name = "test" + $i;
duplicate -rr;
move -r 0 1.365854 0 ;
scale -r $scale $scale $scale ;
rename ("test" + $i);
print ($name);

string $object = ($name + ".translateY");
float $nameprop = `getAttr $object`;
if ($nameprop >7){
rotate -r -ws 0 0 -89.682647 ;
move -r 2.926829 -5 0 ;
}else if ( $nameprop > 0 ){
move -r 0 20 0;
}
}
