for example (pseudo code)

count = 0;
while (true) do
	if count > 10 then
		loadPaths(wp_file);
	end;
	print(count);
	count++;
end;

expected behaviour:
when count is greater than 10 wp_file should be loaded and executed

whats happening
MM shows that wp_file has been loaded, but than executes the print statement and continues the loop, showing again and again that the new wp_file has been loaded and prints out "count" which than is greater than 10.

I tried this

Code: Select all

count = 0;
while (true) do
	if count > 10 then
		loadPaths(wp_file);
		error("Stop",0);
	end;
	print(count);
	count++;
end;

which ended up in MM showing that "wp_file" has been loaded, then breaks.
I expected the wp_file to be loaded and never reach the error statement.

I had this prob several time and thought it was a mistake in my coding ... maybe you can point it out to me.

How can i get MM to stop all things from the actual WP file when loading a new one.

Code: Select all

	if count > 10 then
		loadPaths(wp_file);
		break;
	end;

Reading confirmed

This little "break" was the solution. Thanx!

Does ++ work in lua? I wasn't aware.

I generally do

Code: Select all

count = count + 1

i dont know, have not tested it. it was just kinda pseudo code to describe the prob, not a real working snippet.

Nope. That should give a syntax error.

Offtopic, but is it possible to overload operators in lua? (I'm guessing not)
