"Break" action to get out of loops
« on: August 08, 2017, 01:34:50 PM »
With the addition of for loops, where using a variable to stop the loop a la
Code: [Select]
Set Boolean [Loop] to True
Start Loop While : [Loop] Equals True
    Begin Text Compare : [Condition] Equals 'true'
        Set Boolean [Loop] to False
    End Condition
End Loop
Is not possible, I would like to request an action to break out of loops directly.

It would be the equivalent of
Code: [Select]
Start Loop While : [{EXP:1=1}] Equals '1'
    Begin Text Compare : [Condition] Equals 'true'
        Jump to Marker: Break
    End Condition
End Loop
Marker: Break
Where the "Break" action would jump to the action below the "End Loop" block, without requiring an additional marker(In the same way the "Jump to a Place in this Command" action can jump directly to the beginning or end of the command, or the "Exit Command" action, which is shorthand for the latter).
