How to Loop Something a Specific Amount of Times?

[iskillzi]

Hello, I tried looking at a couple guides for loops and how they work but it confused me a bit because I'm trying to loop something for example 3 times then the loop breaks, the guides only showed how to do it an endless amount of times..

So can someone clear up how to loop a specific amount of times and then break that loop?

Also if it helps the loop will be for a move route to loop 3x.

You set a variable to 0 before the loop, then just before the Repeat Above, you add 1 to the variable, then do a Conditional Branch - if the variable is 3 or more, Break Loop.

This is pretty simple, once you know how its done.

At the end of your evet commond string, make a variable add +1, then make a condition branch, if variable = 3(erase event, turn on switch, however you want it to be, if It's a one time event, use a switch/add a 2nd page to require switch on, if you want the event to happen every time you enter map, in the condition branch, set variable at 0/erase event).

To shaz, you don't set the variable at 0, there's no need, variables are 0 by default.

Well, that was an extremely easy fix, thanks.

I know that My reply is based on the assumption that you might have used it for something else (I have a few "generic" variables that I use for many things, when I just need to calculate and use it within the same event), or might want to run this several times. If in doubt, it's ALWAYS best to set the initial value.
