    Can I find the position of an image that was placed by a fastloop in a grid?

    I have a fastloop that reads the images from a folder and places them into a grid pattern. Is there a way to read the position of the final image so I can place something next to it? Also, how do you check if a loop has finished?

    The question makes me think you might not totally understand what a fastloop actually does. Events in the event editor execute in sequence from the top-down. However when you trigger a fast loop, it switches to going through the "on loop" events the number of times you specified. To do something when it finishes, all you have to do if put an event after the one where you triggered the fast loop.

    When I start a project I usually create a bunch of "Scratch" global values to use for various tasks. So in your case, I might just set ScratchA to the image's X, and ScratchB to the image's Y, on every loop. Then after the loop is over, (ScratchA, ScratchB) is the position of your image.
