%cnt and repeat

[The Ghost]

I'm trying to find a better way to move my ship that just said 8 time  event macro 3 0 one forward   I try to play with this but I don't understand  how to use it.   Can anyone shade some light plx

Code: [Select]

set %cnt 0
repeat
for %cnt 1 8
(
msg one forward$
wait 10
set %cnt %cnt + 1
}
until %cnt = 8

That's confusing. Just remove the Repeat until.

For %Cnt 1 8
{
msg one forward$
wait 10
}

[gimlet]

That's confusing. Just remove the Repeat until.

For %Cnt 1 8
{
msg one forward$
wait 10
}

or this should also work


set %cnt 0
repeat
(
msg one forward$
wait 10
set %cnt %cnt + 1
}
until %cnt = 8

or better event Macro {param 1} [param 2] [param 3]

set %cnt 0
repeat
(
event macro 3 0 one forward$
wait 10
set %cnt %cnt + 1
}
until %cnt = 8

wait 10
}

ManWinc: I try that yesterday and it was just moving once.    I want fish until I receive the msg their no fish and move 8 title forward.      


** THx  gimlet   will try that later tonight.

What MWinc suggested should work.  What wasn't working about it?  Perhaps make the wait 20 instead?  Gimlets suggestion of using event macro 3 0 is also a good one.  You just don't need the trailing "$" if you do that.

Cool

Both code work.  guest last night I was to tired to count and see the text in my journal.  Thx for the help.

 

Code: [Select]

set %cnt 0
repeat
(
msg one forward$
wait 10
set %cnt %cnt + 1
}
until %cnt = 8
halt

and

Code: [Select]

For %Cnt 1 8
{
msg l forward$
wait 10
}
halt
