Permutation

[rept]

Hello all,

Fairly new to making triggers work smoothly. Right now I'm working on a map that basically forces the AI the play the entirety of the game while users make some micro transactions. But what I really need help with is making Permutations.

I am stuck in my own logic of making a loop that is, by my reasoning, infinitely long.

The permutation will be used in addressing which color a certain unit is assigned. 1-4/8 different colors

Any help on the subject would be appreciated.

• Set n = 6
• Set result = n
• For each (Integer loop_var) from 1 to (n - 1), do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Set result = (result x loop_var)
• -- use the result of the permutation here

all variables are integers. 'n' is the number you want to permute, result obviously has the result in it.

Works nicely, thanks for the assistance!

Are there while loops within the trigger editor as well?

not as far as I know - only jass loops are while loops.

If you want to break out of a GUI for loop, you can use exitwhen(true)
