Hey all, I am having trouble making this block respond the way I need it to. Any help is appreciated! This is the overall block. It is the meat and potatoes of a project I am working on. [Screen Shot 2020-08-07 at 4.24.04 PM] My problem is with this section below. I would like it to stop as soo…

Hey @luke.hall_2116 , welcome to the Community :wave: Using the forever block and a variable, this can be easily achieved. [image] Example See these blocks as an example. Here I am adding random numbers to a list, and when I want it to stop, I press the button. [image] I wouldn’t quite understa…

Thank you, I hadn’t thought of that before. This may be an obvious question, but I haven’t used functions or forever loops much: Would there be a way to stop this after a certain number of repeats? In this case, it could be stopped if the larger event were called again (entire block in first scree…

Many thanks for the solution. If you’re up for it, another problem has popped up in it’s wake. This new issue comes as a result of the repeat block continuously going in the background. If events happen fast enough, an old call of the function will register that the variable has changed back, and e…

Hi @luke.hall_2116 , Breaking a loop should jump to the next line of code, or at least that is the intended idea of a break. Do you mind sharing some screenshots just highlighting the misfitting blocks? If you think it’s an issue of the loop going too fast you can add a wait block. Do keep in mind …

This issue is directly related to my previous question. It is the need for an edited solution to what was answered on this thread. This is what I ended up with after your solution: [Screen Shot 2020-08-10 at 10.07.44 AM] It worked like a charm, except for some timing. For the sake of understandi…

Hi @luke.hall_2116 , Firstly, I do not understand how this could work: [image] The loop here would do nothing. [image] luke.hall_2116: as soon as the variable {break_Loading_Bar_Cycle} says so, that instance of the function “load_Bar”, or included loop, is permanently closed to make room fo…

I was messing around with other solutions, and the block got reset. In the “load_Bar” function, it should repeat if “break_Loading_Bar_Cycle ≠ true” I have messed around with the break loop, but nothing worked. Thunkable Docs say nothing about it, and I’ve never actually seen it successfully used. …

Hi @luke.hall_2116 , Could you PM me a project link with information such as which screen this is on so i can take a closer look. Only if this is possible, Thanks.

You sure can!

This will repeat 10 times, unless it is stopped. If I were to start this again by clicking the Start Button then it would repeat it another 10 times. Is this what you would like?

Functions are great, and actually very easy to use with Thunkable. Check out the docs on Functions.
