Loop Until

[Ultimatony]

I want to create a trigger that loops 8 times, OR until condition is met.

Does using Skip remaining actions stop a loop?

it could, but i depends on how you've build your trigger. post it please.

 

[Ultimatony]

I have not created the trigger yet, I'm asking how i can stop a loop if I achieve what I wanted during. It could happen on first loop and if it does, i want it to stop. It could go all 8 times and not hit the conditions.

maybe using custom scripts in the loop like

if *condition* then
exitwhen 1 == 1
endif

not sure about that but try it out

To exit a loop, you can simply add:

• Custom script: exitwhen true

Or as Lender put, a condition that will always be true. (1==1)

So you can add an if-block to check your condition, and if it is passed then just add that custom script line.

well actually i checked and that doesn't worked in GUI with a Pick units loop:/
turns out that it wont be in the loop even if i do put it there

But sure would do the job in JASS

Pick units loops of GUI behave differently in reality. They are not doing a formal loop through the units, they actually will do a ForGroup() into a separate function, and that function is called for each unit in the group. That's why an exitwhen won't work. (it might actually give an error)

For pick unit loops, you would just use an if-then-else condition before performing any actions if you need to prevent any actions from that point on.

yeah, that makes sense .
I almost do everything in JASS , but its always good to learn the mechanism of these things
