Hello,
I need to know how to stop a loop. I am getting errors in my script because break; is "out of context".
So, I need to know a way other than break;

Thanks.

[Memoryz]

for a while loop you can do

pawn Код:

new bool:looping = true;

while(looping)
{
   // bla bla bla
   looping = false; // when u want to stop looping
}

you could use return to pass control back to some location or just return some value.

You can use 'break;' to stop a loop. It should work without a problem so I'm not sure why you are experiencing this

Show your loop.

PAWN's switch statements aren't fall-through, (just remove it) oh and btw, that isn't a loop...

[stormchaser206]

it isn't a loop?

EDIT: Then I mean how do you set it to not go until its equal to the next one?

nope. a loop is just repeated code (in cavemen-like explanation). You code is equivalent to the if-else variant.

Switch statements aren't loops. They're conditional like if, but they're more dynamic.

Putting break in a switch statement is required for languages like C# and C++, but not needed in Pawn. (So I can understand why you're doing this.)

EDIT: You can probably fix the spamming by putting a default statement in that.

I've improved your code:
