Maybe you've read my previous topic. Maybe it was a little too difficult. This question is probably easier. It is still for my isometric engine. The player can decide of what size the map is. The map is always a square, so if you enter 200, it will be 200 x 200 tiles. To create the ojects (the ground tiles) I use a fastloop. Now I won't explain all of it, because most of you will not understand it, so I try to keep things simple.
On loop "mainloop":
* set alt val x to loopindex(mainloop)
* set alt val y to loopindex(mainloop)
* start loop "subloop" + Str$(loopindex(mainloop))
As you can see, at every step the mainloop takes, it will create a subloop. So when the map is 200x200 you'll have subloop0, subloop1, subloop2 and that goes on til subloop200. The problem is, how do I do the "on loop subloopN"-expression for 200 times? I do not want to repeat this event 200 times of course.
Simple, make a counter, always have it set to the loop you want to use, then when you go to do, "on loop subloopN" you use "on loop subloop+>GetValue"counter"< not sure if GetValue thats the proper expression, but you should get the idea" "number of times"
I didn't test that, but that should work, if it doesn't, perhaps someone else has an idea.

Thanks, in the meantime waiting for an answer I did think thoroughly myself of course and I also came up with this counter idea. But it does not work flawlessly. I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with this way, but I couldn't find out really.
