whats so hard about that?

 

 

while true   wait 0end

 

 

its a never ending loop.... ever heared of F12 in Sannybuilder = help

[yair1221]

i tried all the coding tutorials in tutorials forum

never thought of SB...anyway, does it have to be never-ending?

cant something be like "while actor in car, do that and that"...?

[TheSiggi]

You asked about true

 

 

$var = 10while $var > 11  inc($var)end

 

 

should answer your (moronic) question

hhh

kk

There are no "moronic" questions Sig. Please be a little nicer to newbs... even yair lol.

 

And yeah while true loops indefinitely unless it's stopped by a break or a jump to another label.

 

While <condition> will loop indefinitely until the condition is false.

Dont be so hard with the guy, high level contructions are not easy for newbs.

what does the inc $var mean in this line?

i mean, is it like $var -= 1?

so the while structure, is basically like "for" in C++? just the other way arround i think, instead of "for $var == 0..."

but you used:

 

$var = 10while $var > 11

 

 

so, the var isnt > 10

That loop will never run as the var is 10 and the condition is "greater than 11" but anyways.

 

It's like so:

 

 

$var = 10 // set the value of the global variable "$var" to 10while $var > 11 // while the value of the global variable "$var" is greater than 11

 

 

The loops are the same as the C++ loops, for/while etc.

[TheSiggi]

Inc($Var) = $Var+=1 (equals [var]++ in C-languages)

Dec($Var) = $Var-=1 ( " [var]-- in C-lnguages)

 

I'm sorry yair, I was in a bad moode yesterday! ( I know thats not realy an apology for being sarcastic[in huge circuemstances ] and sometimes realy rude)

 

Don't take it to heart

cheers

 

@Adler: Your MSN brocken or what

 

Edit:

 

Nope, the For loop of Sannybuilder is not equal to the C++/#

 

for (int i = 0; i<[var]; [iteration]{}

 

 

there is a difference consirdering the condition (SilentPL told me )

but..while true can be used as a custom timer(not 32@, 33@)

$var = 10

 

while $var >= 1

$var -= 1

end

actor.destroyinstantly...

hmm...im getting used to it

[TheSiggi]

you need a wait in while loop

 

 

[Wesser]

No. The while...end construct can be used as well as a for...end cycle, just make a condition which checks for a var which is constantly updated in the same loop.

god help me, i didnt understand a damn word written in this topic, not including MY words....

Its pretty easy to "convert" a For statment in a While or Repeat. Wich means Incondtional iteration to a Conditional one.

 

But may not be possible (in most cases) to do the opposite, convert a While or Repeat to a For.

 

Thats what you need to know about the diferences between them.

 

Also a While may Not execute its body, but a Repeat will do it atleast once.
