Break

[james227uk]

I have heard about a high level construction, Break (http://waterviper.forumtwilight.com/english-mission-coding-f2/scripting-function-s-t10.htm). However, I have made a a script using it, but Sanny does not class it as a keyword nor does it even know what it is, "Unknown directive Break"

 

Anyone else used Break before?

I have to admit that I never used that one before. I haven't even heard of it... But why don't you just use other constructions? Why do you make it so difficult for yourself?

Dunno, I just think high level construction looks cool.

If-then-end is a high level construction, just like (for example) a while-loop.

"Break" and her sister command "continue" can only be used inside loops, such as repeat..until and while..end.

You can use it like this:

 

while true   wait 200 ms   // foobar();   //  ....   // .....      if NOT player.Defined($PLAYER_CHAR)   then       break;   endend

 

Or alternatively as a parameter to "jf" :

 

while true   wait 200 ms   // foobar();   //  ....   // .....      if player.Defined($PLAYER_CHAR)   jf break;end

 

 

Break will cause the engine to continue with the statement following the current loop, thus terminating it.

Continue will cause the current loop-condition to be re-evaluated than restart of abort the loop based on the condition.
