"for loop" small problem! [solved]

[pro-mos]

  
function countDown(player, _, limit) 
    for i = 1, limit, 1 do 
        if i ~= limit then 
            msg("[Count Down] " ..i, root) 
        else 
            msg("[Count Down] GO GO GO", root, 255,255,0) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("c", countDown) 
  

i cant get the else statement to work, its supposed to print "GO" instead of the last limit number

UPDATE: no errors

This should work:

function countDown(player, _, limit) 
    for i = 1, limit do 
        if i ~= limit then 
            msg("[Count Down] " ..i, root) 
        else 
            msg("[Count Down] GO GO GO", root, 255,255,0) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("c", countDown)

I just tested it and it worked fine. Don't forget to type the limit when you use the command !!!

its not that different from my code.. it only prints the first if statment, and never prints whats inside else "GO GO GO"

Oh, my bad. I didn't get you the first time.

There you go:

function countDown(player, _, limit) 
    local limit = tonumber(limit)+1 
    for i = 1, limit do 
        if i < limit then 
            msg("[Count Down] " ..i, root) 
        else 
            msg("[Count Down] GO GO GO", root, 255,255,0) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("c", countDown) 

BTW it would be better if you make it with timer (per 1 second).

Good luck!

thanks, didn't know i have to convert limit to a number..

[Bonus]

local limit = tonumber(limit)+1

That is better

But care:

The countdown will finish in under 50 milliseconds.
