How do I do an OR inside a while?

Basically I want a while block to continue if any of the two conditions are present. What I currently have is this:

This does it so that I can make sure 1 wagon isn't the same as the one just before it, but I can't check for all three. If I turn the While into an OR block, it becomes While OR numwagon.AnimationFrame.... OR numwagon2.AnimationFrame. If I don't do it, it seems to treat it as an AND.

So how can I have an OR block INSIDE an While? Or is there some even simpler way to do this?

You could use a system->"pick by comparison"

with an expression like:

numwagon.animationframe=numwagon2.animationframe | numwagon.animationframe=numwagon3.animationframe[/code:3klcw15a]

You could use a system->"pick by comparison"

with an expression like:

numwagon.animationframe=numwagon2.animationframe | numwagon.animationframe=numwagon3.animationframe[/code:3mw89q1q]

I'm not sure I'm understanding how "Pick by comparison" works. When I select it, I have to choose an object, expression, comparison and value. How do I do that with the code you've posted?

For doing it in event 2 of your pic...

the object would be numwagon2

The first expression would be: numwagon2.animationframe=numwagon.animationframe|numwagon2.animationframe=numwagon3.animationframe

The comparison would be "="

and the second expression would be 1

For doing it in event 2 of your pic...

the object would be numwagon2

The first expression would be: numwagon2.animationframe=numwagon.animationframe|numwagon2.animationframe=numwagon3.animationframe

The comparison would be "="

and the second expression would be 1

It works now, thanks!

Unfortunately, its now exposed another bug in my layout which I have to figure out. But at least now it is nicely random!

Hello everyone,

Sorry to dig this old topic, but my question is in the title... and it is unsolved as far as I'm concerned :/

R0j0's answer may be correct when the condition is related to an object, but what if it is related to a variable ?

Simple example :

• we are making a platformer
• we have two variables, one reflecting the left stick direction (LStick), the other stating if the player is crouched or not (IsCrouching)
• LStick can be set to "Up", "Down", "DownRight", "DownLeft"
• we want to set up a loop, instead of three redundant loops, that says :

while (LStick="Down" OR LStick="DownRight" OR LStick="DownLeft")

then IsCrouching= "True"

I've tried the "Pickbycomparison" but variables are not attached to an object so I don't know what to do...

Many, maaaany thanks in advance for the one who'll be able to answer me =)

(also, a quick side question : can you add an Else event after a While loop ? So that if the while loop is not working the IsCrouching is set to "False" again )

Cheers

You don't want a loop here anyway, just an If:

if(LStick="Down" | LStick="DownRight" | LStick="DownLeft") -> IsCrouching= "True" Else IsCrouching= "False"

In C2, use Compare two values:

First value: LStick="Down" | LStick="DownRight" | LStick="DownLeft"

Comparison: Equal to

Second value: 1

If you want to keep it a bit more elegant you can use the "If is true" condition from TR_System plugin.

You can do advanced logical operations there.

Damn, I realized I forgot to thank you guys for your answers. Sorry.

Thanks to your help, I realized the while loop was totally optional in my case.

As you already digged up this topic, I'd like to mention that there's a new TR_System condition Is value in set which makes such things even easier.
