Loop

[James]

How can I make MsgBox loop? I'm making a game, but if you mess up, you get 5msg boxes.

[xcal]

Just use a For...Next loop with your msgbox in it?

[James]

? Can you explain?

[NELyon]

Can you show some code?

[James]

I just need this MSgBox to be repeated.

$msg = MsgBox(64, "Wrong", "That door was trapped! So are you!")

[xcal]

That's just your message box. What D-Gen was asking for, was an example of an attempt at a solution.

But, like I said, just use a For...Next loop, and stick your msgbox in it.

For $i = 1 to 5
    $msg = MsgBox(64, "Wrong", "That door was trapped! So are you!")
Next

; Or

$i = 0
While $i < 5
    $msg = MsgBox(64, "Wrong", "That door was trapped! So are you!")
    $i += 1
WEnd

; Or

$i = 0
Do
    $msg = MsgBox(64, "Wrong", "That door was trapped! So are you!")
    $i += 1
Until $i >= 5

As pointed out, if you provide more information you will get a better answer.

I dont know how to, Im still a n00b. Would

$msg = loop(5)

work?

[xcal]

Just to expand a little on mike's examples...

For $i = 1 To 5
    MsgBox(48, '!!!', 'I should read the help file!', 1)
Next

[James]

Oh hahaha. I looked, but its not as useful as people think!

@ xcal: lol

@ Secure: The helpfile is extremely useful. You could even go so far as to say it is a big HELP. It may even be the best HELP tool for AutoIt. These forums are great, but I learned mass amounts from the helpfile and it's examples before I started asking questions here. Not to discourage you from asking us here, there are usually lots of people willing to help, we just like to see that you made the effort to try and teach yourself with the helpfile first.

Another great statement from Secure_ICT... Is it possible for someone to think

that the helpfile is useful while it's actually not ? If they think it's useful then that

must mean that it's answered or solved something for them, so I don't really follow

your logic there, Secure.

Also, apart from that your wording doesn't make any sense in my head, it's also

entirely wrong looking at what's said. The helpfile is indeed very useful and I use

it all the time. I've got 4 shortcuts in my quicklaunch and the AutoIt helpfile is one

of them. If you don't find it useful then you don't know how to use it, and should

get some kind of helpfile-helpfile.

Func HelpfileHelpfile()
    For $i = 0 to $infinity
        Slap()
    Next
        RedundantSlapButIAddedItBecauseIFeltLikeIt()
EndFunc

Well, I'll admit, it is useful. But complicated to find the right things.
