While Question

Matchewawa · **While Question -** 04-01-2011, 01:07 AM

In newer versions of Alice, can whiles cut of a method from running mid-method once their function is no longer true? Or does it have to let the method (that is happening as the function is "untrued") finish like Alice 2.0?

you mean like a "break" or "continue" statement where the while loop either (1) terminates or (2) breaks out of the current iteration and goes back to the top? I know Alice has a seldom used property in each object called "eventsStopAscending" but I don't know how to use it or if that would help with this situation.

What I mean, to be clear, is that if it were playing a long sound file like music or something, could the sound be stopped in the middle of playing once the function is no longer true?

yea just use a boolean variable,
while Boolean is true
play sound
(make sure while is in a loop infinatly)

Then make an event like:
if 's' is typed do boolean set value to false

Oh ok. I don't like dealing with sound since it tends to be buggy in Alice. Hopefully nickster's advice will help you.
