SLIC - For Loop

[skorpion59]

Anybody know the correct syntax for the SLIC For Loop? The documentation says;

For(i = 0; i < 10; i = i + 1) {
    code
    }

but this produces syntax errors. And yes, I know For & While do the same thing. I just like For better for certain things.

For loops? SLIC has for loops? I didn't knew that. Can't find them in the documentation either. Are you sure? If so, could you tell me where you got that documentation so I can check what I've been missing (or send it to me by email)? Thanks

All,

Just a reminder that there is a workaround to create user defined functions. By refering to the SLIC documentation which I have extracted as below :-

While SLIC does not directly support user defined functions, there is a workaround. Using the Abort() function, you can create a MessageBox object that never displays a message. So call Abort() as the first line of a MessageBox object, then write any code you want inside the object, and call that MessageBox from anywhere you'd like with
Message(0, 'NameOfYourMessageBox');
The first argument to message is a player index, but since this message isn't going to display anything, it doesn't matter what index you use.

Sorry about that. The for..loop wasn't in the documentation. It came from Activision. I actually have a bit more SLIC documentation and related stuff than I originally thought. I am in the process of putting it all together in a cohesive document. Then as we learn what does and doesn't work and how, I will update the document. Kind of like the SLIC v1.2 real documentation we didn't get.

I will send it to our SLIC group when it is finished. If anybody else wants a copy, send me an email and let me know. My email is in my profile.
