Pawn Loops

Cubie · 2019-05-28, 12:49 PM

Is there actually a way to check if a loop is finished?
I'm going to try to explain.

e.g loop:

PHP Code:
foreach (new i : Player)
{
    if(example[playerid] == 4)
    {
      //Someting
    }
    return 1;
} 

e.g what I wonder:

PHP Code:
[Loop Finishes]
{
  //Code
} 

If anybody knows a fancy other trick that is fine too off course.
Thanks in advance.

When a loop finishes the code outside its block gets executed.

Code:
for(.....) {

//code

} 

//loop finished

pawn is synchronous so any code under your loop will be executed after the loop

Oh Sweet!
All I had to know Thanks guys!

Oh, and if you want to actually end a loop prematurely without exiting the function, use break, not return: https://wiki.sa-mp.com/wiki/Control_Structures#break

Possibly the only good feature from Python is `for/else`. In pawn syntax:

PHP Code:
for (new i = 0; i != 10; ++i)
{
    if (Something(i))
    {
        break;
    }
}
else
{
    SomethingFailed();
}
// `break` jumps to here. 

The `else` block is only run if the loop exited without calling `break`, i.e. ended normally. I'm sure there's a way to fake or mimic it.

Im sorry if im deviating the topic but, why "the only good feature"?

He meant the only good feature that can translate to pawn and be useable (I think that's what he meant)

I don't actually know Python well enough to say that's the only good feature, nor even what I meant which was more "good unique feature".
