Stopping a For Loop

I am working on a game and I would like to stop a loop and reset the script of an object if I send a message to stop. For example:

for(i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
Do something
}

The problem is I cannot stop the loop until it finish looping. Is it possible to send a message to quickly stop the loop and give the results. I would to reset everything anytime instead of waiting for the loop to finish. Is it possible? Lets say the loop loops 100000 times and would like to stop it lets say at 20000 or any other or just before it finishes looping.

One way I can think of is to include a check to some sort of variable or data external to the script itself. For instance, add a second script to the prim... Have that second script modify the prim's Description field when time to stop the loop. And of course, within the loop, compare the description field once per loop.

Yea.. if you try to put in a listen or something in the original script, it won't get t that listen till after the loop is complete. any time you tell it to stop, it will queue that statement and get to it later.

Using a second script and adding something to the loop to check a description or other unused value may be the way to go, as stated in the post above. Then use a jump to exit the loop.

integer x;

integer test = FALSE;

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        while (x < 10)
        {
            if (! test) // if x == FALSE
            {
                //llDoStuff();
                llOwnerSay("true  " + (string)x);
                ++x;
                
                if (x == 2)
                {
                    ++test; //x = TRUE
                }              
            }
            
            else 
            {
                x = 10;
                llOwnerSay("false");
                return;
            }
        }                        
    }
}

works the same on a for loop ...

oh my bad i missed the message part, yea your pretty much SOL sry

May I please lead you to this extremely rarely used but extremely yet useful flow controller?

And anyone that says jumps are bad, think about this: Would you rather have the simulator process the rest of the code for an empty If statement? It is a waste of resources, so please go and die if you think that jumping out of loops is a stupid idea, because its better than leaving the loop continue processing empty statements.

Maybe I missed something, but as LSL is an event based language with a state engine, why not something like this:

integer counter;

default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		counter = 0;
	}
	
	touch_start(integer n)
	{
		if (llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner())
		{
			state countdown;
		}
	}
}

state countdown
{
	state_entry()
	{
		counter = 0;
		llListen(0, "", llGetOwner(), "");
		llSetTimerEvent(0.25);
	}
	
	listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string msg)
	{
		if(llToLower(msg) == "stop")
		{
			llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
			llSay(0, "stopped on " + (string)counter);
			state default;
		}
	}
	
	timer()
	{
		counter++;
		if(counter > 9000)
		{
			llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
			llSay(0, "Timed out");
			state default;
		}
	}
}

Another scheme depending on how your code is organized would be for another listener script to just reset your looping script if the message arrives. This sounds pretty drastic I know, but it might be what you want.
