For Each Object

Is there a way to stop the loop of 'for each object'?

Say I want it to run through all the objects of a type only once.

I want to go through all objects of a type so I could assign different values to them. But it only need to be run once and not looping through the whole game.

Is there a way to stop it? I tried puting it on a group or in a function, but I'm not sure if it worked.

Or are there alternatives?

You could try this:

For each

Trigger once : action

The best ways are to put it in a group which you then disable, to put it in a subevent of a function, or the subevent of an event which will only trigger once.

Just put a condition above it that decides when to run the loop. Because conditions are read in top-to-bottom order, if conditions above the for each loop are false, it won't reach the for each loop.

In Porlo's case you'd actually want to do

+ Trigger once

+ For each ...

Or maybe

+ Start of layout

+ For each ...

(Putting trigger once below the loop has no effect, because things below the loop are repeated once for each iteration of the loop)

Thanks Ashley, that actually worked.. I was putting the Trigger Once below that didn't work.

I noticed the speed difference.
