Can someone link me/explain how to use integers? {"from integer 1 to 5"}

[FriXionX]

I dont really get how to use "from integer 1 to 5 do actions" bit. Is there a tutorial for integers like that? I cant seem to find one, i find it confusing

Well, this is basic programming. That thing does 5 steps. For example:
For each integer A from 1 to 5 do
Create a special effect at center of playable map area
Wait 1 second

This works like this: Step 1: a special effect appears in the middle of the map, step 2 the same, ... same for step 5. So this one creates 5 special effects in the middle of the map each between 1 second interval.

But where does integer "A" come in? Why not integer B? Whats the difference?

click the link after this sentence and look at the very bottom of the first page when they are fixing the guys trigger about what is a loop. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/complete-and-concise-gui-tutorial-111863/

Sometimes you need a loop in a loop where both will refer to the loop number (Integer X) therefore you need to differ Integer X ergo Interger A and Integer B.

Loops are great for simplifying a trigger. For example you can take Integer A and use it to refer to a player number which means you can have a trigger to something to all players with a single segment of code instead of individual segments for each player.

So, integers (in this manner) are only used for looping?
and sunyzu7387, i was looking at that just recently He didnt explain the integers though, in not much detail.

okay then try this one http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=125236&highlight=integers just scroll down until it says New Concept- Loop

Nice. Helped me & will probably help in future. +rep to both

Integers are just whole numbers.

A simple google search could have showed you that. You use integers in every day life (if you have ever done any sort of math..).

Anyways, I suggest this tutorial over all other GUI ones.

Well the peeps have already explained it's functions, But from 'A' or from 'B' Differ in simple way; If you have two Loop actions with 'A' At same time, then it will skip the other one / Nulfill it's effect's. So the 'A' and 'B' are so that you can create 2 loops at same time without interrupting the loops.

He asked about integers, and you gave him loops..

I kinda asked about loops. I didnt really mean integers, i knew what they are. I just was wondering how "For integer A (etc)" actually does & how to use it. Hard to explain :/
