Re: Exiting a repeat loop

BR,

you could try to "send in time" instead of a repeat loop.
say use 32 millisecs.

Then every action to stop has enough time to come in.

Re: Exiting a repeat loop

[kee nethery via use-livecode]

This might not work for you but, I put:

if the optionkey is down then
exit repeat
end if

So not trying to capture a specific event, just looking to see if a key is 
pressed down. What happens is that I put one of these within every repeat loop 
and when it hits one, it quickly dumps out of the repeat loop.

Yes, probably need a wait with messages inside the loop. Also the reset 
probably needs to go above the exit.

Thanks,
Brian

Exiting a repeat loop

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

I have little game where the user runs a repeat loop. And I want to let
the user stop at any time. So what I  do set a local flag. 

Here is the simple logic

--

local sStopFlag

*on mouseup*

*repeat* sCycles times

*if* sStopFlag=1*then*

*exit* *repeat*


**put "0" into sStopFlag # reinitialize in case they want to
continue**

*end* *if*

*  **#SNIP  -- Cool stuff happens on screen*

*end mouseup*

*#and another button that sets the flag*

*# button "pause"
*

*on mouseup*

*  put 1 into sStopFlag*

*end mouseup*

*# but on mobile, the user can't exit repeat until she clicks the
"pause" multiple time.*

*What the secret on exit a running repeat loop?*

*Do add a little idle time?
*

*BR
