Once we use
Refresh() command in
the loop we start Semi-Parallel process or what we call
Parallel loop.
That means while the loop is
still counting we can interact with any objects, run other
short scripts and make other actions.
See first example: Normal
loop
For
n=0
To
10000
a=n+1
Next
n
Normal loop will pause the MMB (it will be inactive) for the time until loop will finish. You can't click on any buttons during the looping.
This is Parallel loop:
For
n=0
To
10000
a=n+1
Refresh()
Next
n
The command Refresh() will process the parallel interactions - that means while the loop is still looping we can click on buttons and run short scripts.
You have to remember
Any other (parallel or not) loop will pause the first one
until the second will be finished. See the chart below
The loop chart:
You should use Prallel loop
only if you are certain what it does.
Example of using infinite
loop.
With Parallel loop we can use
also infinite loop option. (But you have to remember to
exit)
The script will make the object
Circle sticky to the mouse cursor - until some other object
doesn't set the stop to 1.
stop =
0
For
n=0
To
Infinity
MoveObject("Circle","
MOUSEX(),MOUSEY()")
If
(stop=1)
Then
Return()
End
Refresh()
Next
n
