Code:
                                            if(usr.reps)
                                                while(usr.reps)
                                                    usr.lock = 1
                                                    flick("blah",src)
                                                    flick("blah", usr)
                                                    usr.Blah()
                                                    usr.reps--
                                                    sleep(10)
                                                    usr.lock = 0


Problem description: Need to stop this if the user passes out, but have had no luck. I've tried using break and I've also tried to reset the usr.reps.

while(usr.reps&&!usr.passout)
might work

I doubt it. I'll give it a try though. I don't think it will because the user inputs how many reps they would like to do and then it repeats the process that many times. I need to stop that process.

while(src.reps&&src.hp>0)


How about that, or whatever variable you are subtracting from.

Now that my friend will probably work. Thanks. :D

Try looking up break.

He already said he tried that, though I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. break stops the innermost loop it's located in, in this case, only the while() loop.

Loop up 'break'.

Ummm... Why not use for()?

There really isn't much point doing it one way over the other. A while() loop will work just as well as for() here, and in some ways will make more sense.

The extra if() isn't needed, though; it's redundant. These two pieces of code do the exact same thing:

if (blah)
   while (blah)
      // Do stuff...




while (blah)
   // Do stuff...

Read the first post people... And the problem is fixed.. No need to comment more.

Thing is, though, break should have worked. If it didn't, then something is wrong that extends past that snippet of code.
