Tile - Loop While – Ylands

Revision as of 11:17, 12 November 2021

While loop will execute selected instruction sequence as long as a specified condition is valid.

It is crucial to set correct escape condition, otherwise the loop will continue indefinitely and will impact the script's performance.
There is an internal limit to all loops to break out after one milion iterations.
Break instruction will end the loop.
