FyreDaug	It's a loop, it will loop integer A, which is just a local variable (only used in that trigger, so other integer A's outside that trigger won't be affected) set number = 0 For Loop Integer A 1 to 10 set number = number + 1 That will set number equal to 0, then it will loop adding 1 to the number 10 times. The result would be 10.

A more pratical example and the sort of thing I use "for loop integer A" for, say you want to create 10 units in a region and make them "dance"

Code:

Dancing footmen
    Events
        Time - Elapsed game time is 5.00 seconds
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Random point in Dance Floor <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Patrol To (Random point in Dance Floor <gen>)

There are lots of uses for For Loop Integer, some others include iterating over arrays and doing something to each player with a player number between 1 and 10. (for example)
