Infinite Loop

[Samy]

Sup guys, it's my first post =)

Got a question for you guys, recently i got time to start making a map and ... here it goes...

The current Loop functionality in Editor I noticed does the following:

For each [Integer A (or B wut not)] From X to Y do [Action]

So it's like

Do X
Do X+1
.
.
.
Do Y

Exit the loop

It seems like the Editor is trying to prevent user from making an infinite loop. However, I am trying to implement a 'conditional loop':
ie.
for ( i=0; i <10; )
{
If ((Get (A)) == true) i = 11;
else; // repeat the loop
}

Any idea on how to implement that?
Is there a "Go back to xxx Action" command i am missing or .....
Should i use two sub-trigger to call/check each other to create a conditional breakable loop??


Plz answer me, thx =)

you're thinking too much like a programmer

try this:

event:
[nothing]
condition:
[boolean comparison]
[enter the condition you need to continue running the trigger]
actions:
[do stuff]
[trigger - run trigger]
trigger run (this trigger)


All you need to do is to get some other trigger to run this trigger, and it will keep going until that condition no longer holds true.

blah just make you actions, go to edit and select convert to custom text.

Example: you want to play a units stand animation. just select it in the GUI and click on convert to custom text. you got this:

function Trig_Melee_Initialization_Actions takes nothing returns nothing

call SetUnitAnimation( GetLastCreatedUnit(), "stand" )

endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Melee_Initialization takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_Melee_Initialization = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Melee_Initialization, function Trig_Melee_Initialization_Actions )
endfunction

if you want to loop the actions do this:
function Trig_Melee_Initialization_Actions takes nothing returns nothing

loop

call SetUnitAnimation( GetLastCreatedUnit(), "stand" )

call Sleep( 5.0 )

exitloop
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Melee_Initialization takes nothing returns nothing
set gg_trg_Melee_Initialization = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Melee_Initialization, function Trig_Melee_Initialization_Actions )
endfunction

The engine will probably crach so you need him to sleep.
