Tiles Possibly Insane Registered 06/12/2002 Points 2339	21st March, 2007 at 04:43:46 - A fastloop is basically a loop that runs inside an MMF event. And it does looping Fastloops are very useful when you work with instances of an object for example. Gives you a way to select a specific instance to perform a specific action at just this instance. And this all in one MMF Mainloop. Or when you want to work with a list. Remember that MMF2 runs minimum 50 Mainloops per second. Now imagine that you have 100 Items to parse into this list. Without fastloop it may need two seconds to insert all items one by one. With fastloop you are able to perform everything in one MMF mainloop. Which means 1/50 second when your Mainloop is at 50.

It's useful for a number of reasons, like filling up a level that's made with a level editor, generating a list of items, or improve precision on a custom platform movement engine.

It's when your girl tells you she loves you, and then gives you money! Fastloop's like a box of Lucky Charms- with only the marshmellows! ..It's following all the rules! <<WHAT!!??!>> FASTLOOP DOO LAH!! -- "Del Duio has received 0 trophies. Click here to see them all."

Radix hot for teacher Registered 01/10/2003 Points 3139	21st March, 2007 at 09:35:51 - always ---start loop "aLoop" for 10 loops on loop "aLoop" ---[do stuff] Is equivalent to: always ---[do stuff] always ---[do stuff] always ---[do stuff] always ---[do stuff] always ---[do stuff] always ---[do stuff] always ---[do stuff] always ---[do stuff] always ---[do stuff] always ---[do stuff] The advantage is far tidier code, the ability to run a set of events a certain number of times or stop them part way through, the ability to call a certain set of code at any time in your events list, and the ability to retrieve the number of times the events are looped as a value. You can do all sorts of tricky things quite easily if you take full advantage of fast loops. n/a

Its not enough,I need more Not enough to satisify I said I dont want it, I just need it. To believe, to feel, to know I'm alive. Knuckle deep beneath the borderlines. This may hurt a little but its something you'll get used to. Relax. Slip Away...

Deleted User	21st March, 2007 at 12:39:10 - You should do it like this. :^) always -> run loop "lolinternet" 100 times on loop "lolinternet" -> run loop "lolinternet" 100 times

vrba79 Registered 17/03/2007 Points 125	21st March, 2007 at 14:00:35 - What's a common use for it? Aside from obscure loop references I don't understand. What game function is accomplished easier from using it? [Will watch Aquaman cartoons for beer money.]

Tim I'm on here way too much Registered 25/08/2006 Points 132	21st March, 2007 at 18:55:17 - In life, the easiest way to explain things is using animal related terminology: e.g. Loop 1 = make a rabbit Executing loop 1, 10 times through = 10 rabbits. When you make a loop you always perform an action during that loop. SO!! If you have a loop called "hamster". When you start that loop its like you're putting a hamster in a wheel. You tell the loop or hamster to "run" and it does. Until you end the loop (by taking the hamster out). "I hope that makes some kinda sense to you" said the Zebra. http://www.SilverNova.co.uk
