How do I write integer A in script?

[Jupiterstorm]

I have a variable: Player [1-11]

How would I write the following custom script using my variable with integer A.

• Custom script: if ( GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) ) then

I am trying to call all players to show multiboards for each.

Integer A for custom script is bj_forLoopAIndex.
However, I recommend using a variable integer for the loops. Create a variable called LoopIndex and use it instead of Integer A.
Why? Because Integer A is slower and takes up more space, causing you to hit the op-limit faster.
The op-limit is the number of actions Warcraft can do at a time (afaik).

Can you explain how I can use the LoopIndex to make these improved loops?

Apologies, I'm more versed in GUI than JASS at the moment.

Here is an explanation of why you should generally use your own looping integer for each trigger:

It is pretty simple. Instead of using Integer A, just choose the function that allows you to use your own looping variable.

• British Columbia
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
  • For each BC_LoopIndex from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

And if you need to refer to it in custom script, simply use udg_BC_LoopIndex. You can use whatever prefix you want. I named it BC_LoopIndex, because BC is an acronym for the trigger name "British Columbia" (this is just an example, it isn't meant to do anything special).

So would I make a new LoopIndex variable for each loop across different triggers?

I think you can use the same unless it's a nestled loop.

Nvm if you take a look at the link provided by PurgeandFire then you will see an example of what could happen if loops share variable.

Got it! Now I have optimized script and my multiboard problem is solved. Thanks guys!
