Exp Problem

[Eleven Warrior]

Hi all. I have this problem when I give the party exp the hudPrint prints (Gained 150 Xp) 4 times, I only want it to print once. Thxs for any help on this

Code: Select all

function Stat1exp()

for i = 1, 4, 1 do
party.party:getChampion(i):gainExp(150)
hudPrint("Gained 150 Xp.")
end
end

Code: Select all

    function Stat1exp()

		for i = 1, 4, 1 do
			party.party:getChampion(i):gainExp(150)
		end
		
		hudPrint("Gained 150 Xp.")
    end

tada!

Hi thxs man appreciated

Code: Select all

    function Stat1exp()

		for i = 1, 4, 1 do
			party.party:getChampion(i):gainExp(150)
		end
		
		hudPrint("Gained 150 Xp.")
    end

tada!

A silly ask, I suppose, but why "for i = 1, 4, 1 do" and not simply "for i=1,4 do"??

That last "1" is just the step increment. In this case we could have left it out and the loop would default to incrementing by 1, so you're right about not really needing it here. I left it in the example so that I wasn't changing too much from the original code.

OK I see, thanks

Hi thxs. Yeah I was wondering about that extra "1" myself, although I don't understand what you mean by a step count

Looking at your Code, the value "i" starts off as 1 and then steps (increments) by 1 so it becomes 2, and then again it steps by 1 to become 3, and finally it steps by 1 a final time to become 4.

Example:

Code: Select all

for counter = 1,4,1 do
	print(counter);
end

That will Print the following values: 1,2,3,4

Another way that we could write this and get the same result is:

Code: Select all

local counter = 1
while counter <= 4 do
	print(counter)
	counter = counter + 1;
end

This will also print the values: 1,2,3,4. The " + 1 " is the Step increment, and we can make that any number we choose.

So now try this:

Code: Select all

for counter = 1,4,2 do
	print(counter);
end

That will Print the following values: 1,3

Next:

Code: Select all

for counter = 1,4,3 do
	print(counter);
end

That will Print: 1,4


And lastly:

Code: Select all

for counter = 1,4,4 do
	print(counter);
end

That will simply Print the value: 1
