Stop looping.
« on: 09 Mar 2003, 11:02:39 »
Hi folks! I've searched all the forums before posting this.


How do you get a loop to stop after running let us say 4 times?


:P :P :P

heres what i use, a 3 stage loop

this will exit after the timeout number is reached

#main

_timeloop = 0
_timeout = 4

#mainloop

_timeloop = _timeloop + 1
? _timeloop > _timeout : Goto "exit"

goto "mainloop"

#exit

In fact you can make it even simpler


_timeloop = 0

#mainloop

_timeloop = _timeloop + 1
? _timeloop ==3: exit

goto "mainloop"

the reason i use a 3 part loop is for multiple looping.
so if u use goto "main" somewhere else in ya script, the values are reset every time,  and u can use the same exact code for all loops
