I'll take a look when I'm off work. I'm actually quite proud if the one I wrote, it's my first successful for loop I've ever written, but I'm sure yours will work better.

Edit

Ok I glanced it while at work, it's a bit slow. I think I'll stick with my current, but this will come in handy when I get around to doing another quest I'm brainstorming.

Is there a link to your shared scripts? I'd love to see more of your work since I've been teaching myself coding by looking at the library files and other scripts to see how things interact. Its how I figured out how For Loops work.

For Loops

A for loop is similar to a while loop, except that the variable on which it depends can be in the scope of the loop.

The syntax is:
for ( DECLARATION/ASSIGN; STATEMENT; EXPRESSION )

Consider:

int x = 10;
while ( x > 0)
{
    --x;
    //do things
}

Using a for loop, you do not need a variable outside the loop (although you can still use a variable at a higher scope).

for (int x = 10; x > 0; --x )
{
    //do things
}

That is functionally identical to the while loop.

ZScript for loops are identical to C for loops, so, I suggest reading more on those.

You can, as I mentioned, use an external variable, either with or without an assign in the for loop.

int x = 10;
for ( x = 5; x > 0; --x) //Changes the value of 'x' to '5' as the loop begins.
int y = 8;
for ( ; y > 0; --y ) //Uses the existing value of y.

That should help you get started.
