For each and compare two general values

[Popcorn]

How do you use the For Each object together with compare two general values?

For instance, how do I convert this to work with the For Each object:

* Always
- spread 0 to ID of Enemy1

* Always
- start loop "Enemy"

* On loop "Enemy"
+ DistObjects( "Clickteam Movement Controller", Fixed( "Enemy1" ), Fixed( "Player" )) < 150
+ Enemy1: ID = loopindex("Enemy")
- Enemy1: Look at 0,0 From Player


I tried replacing the loop with a For Each loop, but I just don't get it to work.

Ehm, you don't even need a loop for that in the first place. MMF2's event loops will do it for you...

What are you talking about? You need a loop for that. If not, please show me how you do it
And besides, this was just an example. The fastloop work, but as an for each loop, it doesn't.

Well, I will post an example of what you wanted. You'll have to give me a different example though if you want to see the for each object in action.

I have seen it in action, and I love it so far. But I need it to work in this scenario, and that is what I struggle with.

So here's the example for you:

For Each Enemy
When This Enemy is getting within a radius of 600 from the player
This Enemy: Move towards player

That is what the example in the first post does with fastloops.

And I need to run it in a loop because the following condition (without loops or anything) will not work:
When Enemy is getting within a radius of 600 from the player

Because it is affecting ALL the enemies.

OK, as I said, it would still be much more efficient without any loops at all. Really just let MMF2's action loops do it, they're much faster.

Just set a flag off before you check thier distance, and set flag on for ones who are within the distance. Then move the ones that have flags on.

[Popcorn]

That doesn't solve it. The compare two general values condition will still affect every object in the condition. Unless I am missing something basic here?

[LB]

OK, I guess you didn't see my example. Set the distance as an alterable value and use "Compare to Alterable Value" from the obejct you want to select.

Isn't there a "ForEach" object already anyway??
