Op Limits?

chobibo	When using loops, how can you reach an op limit? I was trying some script that has 2 loops ( loop within a loop ).

if the function is too long (time of his execute).
If you use grimoire he will tell you if a function reach a limit op

Btw if you do that :

JASS:

loop
exitwhen true
endloop

You will reach a limit op.
2 way :
-the condition is never true (like the example)
- or they're too many actions

But why you want that, you probably want say how to avoid a limit op ?

if you need a big loop like

JASS:

local integer i=0

loop
set i = i+1
exitwhen i == 100000
// your actions
endloop

You can use a global instead and a short timer.

JASS:

globals
integer I=0
timer T=CreateTimer()
endglobals

function Loop takes nothing returns nothing
local integer i=I+200
loop
exitwhen i==I
   set I=I+1
   // your actions
   if I==100000 then
     call PauseTimer(T)
endloop
endfunction

function DoTheLoop takes nothing returns nothing
   call TimerStart(T,0,true,function Loop)
endfunction

Of course it's just an example

Strilanc	Just a bit more information: If you're hitting the op limit chances are the script will lag in game. If you absolutely need to have more operations, you can call a function using a trigger and TriggerEvaluate, and the called function will have a separate op count.

chobibo	Thanks Strilanc!, I was using the loop to initialize my variables, but I gues it got too many lol! thanks again!
