Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me how to convert a for loop like -

for x = 0 to 40 step 4

into lsl?

The wiki only gives single increment examples, like -

for (x = 0; x <= 40; x++)

Much obliged

You should be able to just change the x++ to x=x+whatever.

++ is the LSL shortcut for saying x=x+1

yes, so litterally:

for (x = 0; x <= 40; x += 4)
{
}

And += means "add to yourself" so "x += 4" means "add 4 to x".

See also -=, *=, /= and maybe others, too.
