Notes

Note (Applies to 1.85-1.97): Maximum repeat count for loop is 10000. If condition is still true after loop was repeated 10000 times, loop is terminated and error message is shown. A more practical example: To repair all the members of a group to such a level that they are all able to stand up:
{while {not canStand _x} do {_x setDammage (getDammage _x) - 0.01}} forEach units group unitname
