Can't break out of a loop

[Gabriot]

What I want is simple:  I have a loop, and I want to beak out of the loop if the user presses the c button.

So in the loop I have a conditional branch that says 'if button 'C' is Pressed' then break loop.

Why the loop just runs forever is beyond me.  Anyone have any luck with this bull?

You need a Wait command in there for 1 frame.

 

[Gabriot]

Ah thanks.  Works now.  Why is that?

1 ms is processing time.

 

[Yeyinde]

Wrong, shiroun.  RMXP tries to do the loop as one whole thing.  A wait of one frame simply allows Graphics and Input to be updated which prevents a loop hangup.

"C" button is different than on your keypad.

The "C" button is Enter, Space, etc., just check F1 in game for the commands. But Gabriot probably figured that out already.
