(Solved) For the Repeat event add an index counter

[chucklebeast]

I use this construction a lot:
Repeat VariableChildCount(someArray) times:

and getting a working index into the array is unnecessary complex:

as you cannot add a variable on the Repeat event itself so you need to put the Repeat event UNDER the index (i) declaration.

I would suggest that the Repeat statement is enhanced to
Repeat x times, store the index in <variable>:
a bit similar to the For each child variable (which stores the child)

This is a finalized feature; it will be in a release within 1-2 weeks.

Add support for local variables for loop events (While, For Each...) and loop index variable

Are we getting closer to the classic for… Next? That would be nice.

For variable start at 0 end at 10 step 2

For variable start at 10 end at 0 step -2

For variable start at 0 end at 10 step .5

I don’t think there’s an equivalent to that in Javascript, so I don’t think you’d see that in events, but anything is possible?

It’s not as clean as the basic For… Next but close.

Silver-Streak mainly said that a custom step is not common, even in code.
Basically, in GDevelop, the step will be the classic i++.
If you want a custom step, you will have to use the index and do the calculation yourself inside the loop.
