Skip Remaining Actions. Does it count?

[Jupiterstorm]

Quick question. In the GUI, does Skip Remaining Actions function as an effective exit loop when placed within an integer loop that has a condition within it?

Example:

• Special Light Room
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Destructible - Pick every destructible in RegOp and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Destructible-type of (Picked destructible)) Equal to |cffff8c00Power Console|r
          • Then - Actions
            • For each (Integer Index[2]) from 1 to 352, do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • (Picked destructible) Equal to PowerConsole[Index[2]]
                  • Then - Actions
                    • -------- Make Visible/Buildable --------
                    • Visibility - Enable LightMask[Index[2]]
                    • Visibility - Disable DarkMask[Index[2]]
                    • Set Switch = 1
                    • Trigger - Run Power and Lighting On <gen> (ignoring conditions)
                    • Destructible - Remove (Picked destructible)
                    • -------- Run Waves --------
                    • Trigger - Run Turn Wave <gen> (checking conditions)
                    • Trigger - Run Income <gen> (checking conditions)
                    • Skip remaining actions
                  • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions

It depends how the GUI translates this stuff, post the jass code.

Skip remaining action = return
And that means end of function, but i don't remember how GUI translate loops and if/then

skip remaining actions means return from executing function.
this work if the loop-inside code is called from another function.
If you call skip remaining function from a loop inside of a trigger actions it will ends the trigger function instead of the loop. The way to exit from a loop is doing boolean evaluations. So, if you want to skip some actions into your loop, use if-then to change boolean condition.
for example

• test
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Wait for (Last played sound) to be 0.00 seconds from finished playing
        • Skip remaining actions

the boolean evaluation of this line: "For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)" is Integer A>10 equals to true

GUI writes the loop as jass loop with integer increment evaluation.

And what about the if/then ?

 

[KILLCIDE]

If you want to exit out of a For each (Integer) loop, you can use exitwhen true.

Comparing units:

Set Unit = (Random unit) For each (Integer LoopInt) from 1 MaxIndex, do (Actions) Loop - Actions If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions Unit Equal to UnitArray[LoopInt] Then - Actions -------- Found unit! Exit loop -------- Custom script: exitwhen true Else - Actions -------- unit was not found; continue searching --------

I get it. That's quite useful to know. Thanks very much, guys.
