For loop

[Pixel 181]

In my script I've tried using hide(); notsolid(); show(); and solid(); but if I overuse them to create a script, it looks messy, complex, and does not even work.

 

I want a for loop which shows a brush for 2 seconds, disappears for 2 seconds, shows for 2 seconds etc.

 

I kind of know how a for loop works, my only confusion is determining the number here: i < (number). 

 

Also how fast it increments (i++)

 

Thanks for any help.

That's what I'm reading D: 

 

EDIT: Also what happens if i reaches the number? So like for(i=0;i<10;i++) what happens if it reaches 10? Will it go back to 0?

Why not use a while loop?

[Sentrex 785]

for( i = 0 ; i < 5 ; i++ )

{

iPrintLnBold( "loop" );

}

 

OUTPUT: 

loop

loop

loop

loop

loop

 

So basically, 

i = 0 means i starts off at 0

i < 5 means i needs to be LESS THAN 5

i++ means each time it loops i is increased by 1

 

Lets think about this logically:

if i is increasing by each time "loop" is printed AND i needs to be less than 5 then it can only be printed 5 times.

 

So, it would be like this:

 

i = 0

print( "loop" );

i is increased by one

<GO BACK TO START>

i = 1

print( "loop" );

i is increased by one

<GO BACK TO START>

i = 2

print( "loop" );

i is increased by one

<GO BACK TO START>

i = 3

print( "loop" );

i is increased by one

<GO BACK TO START>

i = 4

print( "loop" );

i is increased by one

<GO BACK TO START>

i = 5

Since i is no longer LESS THAN 5 the loops stops.

For what you want you can use a simple while loop since you want it to be infinite.

 

while( 1 )
{
brush hide();
wait 2;
brush show();
wait 2;
}

It's because I am working with four different groups of brushes, plus turning and turning off triggers, making brushes non solid, solid, hidden and visible at all different times
