Explaination of for

[GoZelda]

Well, it seemed to me that some people are very unfamiliar with for.

This is what for actually is:

NPC Code:

---

i = 0;

while (i<50){

i++;

)

---

So, for works like this:

First, there's the "statement". This is, i = 0;.
for (i=0; ----){}
then, comes a "test".
i<50;
for (i=0;i<50){}
and then an "operation"
for (i=0;i<50;i++){}
So, i becomes zero. As long as i is less then 50, 1 will be added to i, until it becomes 50 (or more).

Note: never use

NPC Code:

---

for (i=0;i<1;i--){}

---

if you don't want an uber-lagged level with an infinite for-loop.

So, once more:

I becomes equilevant to zero. As long as i is less then 50, then there's added one to i.

Ofcourse, you can add much more to a loop.

NPC Code:

---

for (i=17;i>0;i--){}

---

for example. I hope you see all possibilities of i. Here's a nice example:

NPC Code:

---

if (timeout||playerenters){

this.savex=0;

for (i=1;i<64;i++){

showpoly 2,{this.savex,32,i,32};

this.savex=i;

sleep 0.05;

}

timeout = 0.05;

}
