Loop Me Not (CMS)

Loop Me Not	Definition	AFRLme

They loop me, they loop me not. Small script that demonstrates how to create a looping function that loops the function a specific amount of times with delay between each loop. Visionaire Studio 5+ is required to run this script.

Version 1: Reusable Looping Function

This version can be reused multiple times as we are calling a function stored in a variable that contains the lines of code that we want to execute each time the function is looped.

Instructions

1. Add this script into the script section of the Visionaire Studio editor & set as a defintion type script...

function loopMeNot(act, inc, delay)
  if inc > 0 then
    act() -- execute code
    -- + --
    inc = inc - 1 -- decrement inc variable by 1
    setDelay(delay, function() loopMeNot(act, inc, delay) end) -- recall function after x delay
  end
end

---

2. To use this script you need to create an execute a script action part somewhere & then insert some code that looks like something along the lines of this...

---

cf = function() -- lines of code we want to execute in the loop
  local n = math.random(10) -- generate random number up to a max value of 10
  print(n < 5 and "goodbye world!" or "hello world!") -- print "hello world!" if n >= 5, or "goodbye world!" if n < 5
end

loopMeNot(cf, 10, 1000) -- init loop, link action function, specfify loop amount & delay between loops in milliseconds

Version 2: Disposable Looping Function

This version requires a new function to be written for each set of lines of code that you want to loop a specific amount of times.

Instructions

1. Add this script into the script section of the Visionaire Studio editor & set as a defintion type script...
