Temporarily stopping a loop

[AK.E]

Just what the title says. Is there a way to stop a loop while you're doing something else?

An example of what I'm trying to achieve is below

code:

procedure tiger     put "Yes... the tiger is the greatest animal!" end tiger loop     var animal : string     get animal     if animal = "tiger" then         tiger     end if end loop

The problem with this is that the moment it says "Yes... the tiger is the greatest animal!" it automatically goes back to the beginning of the loop. Is there a way to stop the loop then start it again within the procedure. Or is there a better way of achieving what I'm trying to do?

If you want to exit the loop completely you can just put "exit" within the if statement. However, if you want to ask the question again after you do something else then you would do:

code:

loop loop     var animal : string     get animal     if animal = "tiger" then         tiger         exit     end if end loop var name : string get name put "Your name is: ", name end loop

That will ask for the animal, temporally stop the loop, do something else (like ask for your name) then it will go back into the animal loop.

Sure, you can pause execution. What you're really doing though, is executing a command that stalls. get is one of these, because it waits for user input. I think what you're looking for is Input.Pause, which will pause until a keystroke is pressed.
