loop

• # Loop - Actions

where is this loop action at? i have tried to look for it.

 

[Ryushi]

The Loop - Actions appears after an action that will loop another set of actions, like the For Each Integer A do actions.

• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions

There's no action that just loops actions.

 

[vonahs]

no where in the trigger list is loop?

 

[Ryushi]

Like I said, there is no loop action in the trigger list. That line only appears after other actions that are going to loop actions. If you look at the trigger I posted before, both the actions there are two of the actions that will have the line following them.

If you want to loop some actions, you need to use a 'For each Integer A do Actions' line, and run from 1 to the number of times you want to loop.

then how do i get it to say
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)? i am still a novice so im trying best i can to understand

 

[Ryushi]

There should be a 'For Each Integer A, do Multiple Actions' towards the top of the list of actions. Select it and then you will be able to enter a start and end number.

 

[vonahs]

i do but what do i chioce for (actions)?

 

[vonahs]

i see it now.

Those loops, as said, again by Ryushi
Appear after actions such as Pick every... or For each Integer A...
They are mostly used when you want to repeat similiar actions, while referring to the picked unit, in case it's Pick every unit in (Unit Group) or reffer to the Integer A in case it's For Each Integer A...

Just explaining what the loop does,

For 1 to 6 means it'll do it 6 times,

So it'll be like

For 1 to 6 do
Loop - actions
Create 1 unit at point

It actually does

Create 1 unit at point
Create 1 unit at point
Create 1 unit at point
Create 1 unit at point
Create 1 unit at point
Create 1 unit at point

You can also manipulate it. Say, you want to do it 6 times, but for 6 different players. So it'll be something like

For 1 to 6 do
Loop - actions
Create unit at point for Player[integer A]

This is actually doing

Create unit at point for Player[1]
Create unit at point for Player[2]
Create unit at point for Player[3]
Create unit at point for Player[4]
Create unit at point for Player[5]
Create unit at point for Player[6]
