How can I break a for-loop?

[SutinG]

Hi,
I need to know how to break a for-loop. Currently I'm using a boolean flag to do this, but maybe there is an instruction defined by the editor that i've missed.

Thanks in advance.

No way in GUI. But in JASS you can condition the loop to stop when needed.

If it is a "For integer X do" loop then you can simply set the variable to a value outside of the upper bounds. If it is a "For integer A / B do" loop then you would need a line of jass to set those variables.

Thanks!

I know the problem is solved, but alternatively you could just change a temporary boolean variable.
Then the functions only run if the Boolean condition is met, when you want to break. Merely change the variable, that way it will just run complete doing nothing but checking until its out of the loop. (Assuming its not infinite)
That's just a simple alternative method.

What about the important part? What's the JASS line used to stop this type of loop then?

And doesn't "Skip Remaining Actions" end the loop as well?

According to that action's tooltip, all other actions in the trigger will be skipped as well. So it's not much use if you intend to do anything after the loop.

exitwhen true

It surely will end the loop. But will end all other functions aswel (as said above). This is definitely not an ideal solution, unless its an emergency loop break.
