How would you trigger an event after a fastloop?

Hey people.

Perhaps you could share some MMF techniques and approaches.
As with any programming language it seems like there is good practices and bad practices, but it can be quite hard to find examples.


I've been trying to trigger events after a fastloop. So how'd you go about making this happen?
(I had originally thought about increasing a counter, and if the counter is equal to the value, do this.)


But, what if you don't know how many loops the fastloop does?
Can you specifically check for NOT on Fastloop "loopA" then do this?
(I've been using activate group, and putting the things I want to run within that group on activation. But I then need to de-activate the group etc. I've also tried, run this event once on loop.)


What happens if you want to start another fastloop after that fastloop? (It seems that nesting a fastloop within another fastloop, will jump through to the second fastloop, and ignore any other actions in the first fastloop until the second fastloop has been performed. So to get round this you have to put the fastloops in reverse. i.e. the thing you want done first in the second fastloop, but it still does 1 pass of the first fastloop first.)

How do you exit a fastloop that hasn't finished? Is it possible? I saw an extension called 'Immediate IF', but at first glance didn't understand how to use it. (wasn't immediately obvious enough for me ahahahah, sorry.)

Um, you simply place the events after you trigger the fastloop?
If you wanted to trigger multiple loops you trigger it right after the first.

+ On event blaa
- Start loop a X times
- start loop b X times
- do other things

Or is that not what you meant?

Use the (loopindex"myloop" - 1) as reference.

Let's say you run a loop for number of object times.

On loop "myloop"
+ loopindex("myloop") = (nr of objects xyz) - 1

--> do whatever you need to do.

Personally I put loops into disabled groups. Calling the loop on "group activation" and using the above setting to "disable" the group once the loop is finished.
