Loop While issue

[earthlingj 13]

Hey so i am trying to use loop while..

i can use it properly with 1 condition... but lets say that condition doestn get met EVEr... then itll loop forever.. so i wanted to add a 'backup' condition..

 

so i added the EITHER command. added my first condition..

then added my 2nd condition which = #loopcount <= 5

so loop while the loop count is less than 5 and on each loop i inc #loopcount

 

anyways...

 

when i tested... after the 5 loops it would still continue to go no matter what i would try...

am i doing it wrong?

Hi, Please post your code here so we can understand it more.

I already deleted the code because it wasnt working.. but basically...

 

I want it to loop my code until X exists ( which works fine ) OR until it loops 5 times(which wont work).

Something like this?

 

set(#position, 0, "Global")
ui stat monitor("Position: ", #position)
loop while($comparison(#position, "!=", 5)) {
   wait(1)
   increment(#position)
}

Yes thats what i have but i am trying to make it match EITHER 1 condition or the other.

and whenever i use the EITHER and put in both conditions in NEVER works out.

Try this (developing the code from Kreatus a bit further):

 

set(#position, 0, "Global")
ui stat monitor("Position: ", #position)
loop while($either($exists(<innertext="Whatever you are looking for">), $comparison(#position, "!=", 5))) {
   wait(1)
   increment(#position)
}

The reason for this is because Either is the wrong qualifier.

 

if you do loop while($either("A","B") it will loop while A is true OR B is true, if both of them are not true then it will stop

 

What you want to use is $both:

 

if you do loop while($both("A","B") it will loop while A is true AND B is true, so when one of those is not true then it will stop
