Feature request: While statement

[Bluekilla]

It would be very good if in future version was a while and endwhile statements...
for having for example such a macros :


If (Hits<=10)
While(Hits<=90)
Double click (clean bandage%s%(0E21)
Wait for target
Exec: Target self
Pause 4.00 sec
endwhile
Endif

You don't need while... simply loop the macro and it will do the same thing.

The bottom line is that you have to start and stop the macros manually, so the while statement would do nothing more than the looping if (which is exactly what a while is).

It would be useful if there was a count variable as well.

while count < 5
count++

So you don't have to add the same exact step five times in the macro and just do that...

There already is a way to loop x times.

You are wrong...look attentively at the example i gave... imagine i'm using the magery skill i.e. magic arrow or poison on myself... i need to heal when my hits are lower than 10, and not one time, but until my hits goes to maximum...so i need a conditioned loop in the main loop...do you understand the thread ??? its just an example... while is very powerful anterior looping statement that can be very useful in macroing


What about an argument like lastsysmsg???

How? And inside the looping macro... right?

[Malaperth]

Yes, inside a looping macro. Right-click and select Special Constructs and select Insert For Loop

You can use an If with an Else statement to do what you request.

Ok, if you think that you are right, show me the same macro i presented without usin while

If (Hits<=10)
While(Hits<=90)
Double click (clean bandage%s%(0E21)
Wait for target
Exec: Target self
Pause 4.00 sec
endwhile
Endif

If you noticed, For loop provides only a loop with exact number of iterations so this will not work,(of course you can insert tons of If messing up the script but it is a barbarian way, a stupid one), an alternative for while is introducing break,for example:

For (1 to <n>) // n should be a big number for us to get sure that the character did everything
<The actions itselves>
if (<our statement to control>)
Break
EndIf
EndFor

Razor will never gain a while loop or any other new constructs. Razor is *not* a programming tool and it is *not* designed to play the game for you. There *is* a tool out there that does this, if you want this kind of functionality use EasyUO.
