| Alright, this is a small simple and probably silly question, if I make this function:
if herb_bal == n or
aff.anorexia == y or
aff.aeon == y or
aff.sleep == y or
aff.stunned == y or
aff.impaled == y or
aff.transfixed == y or
aff.broken == y then
-- repeat if statement
else
-- continue code
end
How do I make this constantly repeat?
I think I replace "-- repeat if statement" with "return" but I'm not sure, and I couldn't find a help file on 'return', or even a decent reference to it. |

-- some sort of delay here or your PC will freeze up
end
Not sure about the "== n" - do you mean:
Bear in mind those variables won't change if you have a tight loop - you probably need to wait a second, in which case you may have to rethink the loop. |

| Yeah, those were supposed to be in quotation marks, haha.
And unless I make it so that it runs by activating every time I receive my prompt, I don't see how that w- oh... yeah... that's actually a good idea. |
