I have a for loop which is supposed to check a value against the value of every other value in a display group. If the values match the current one must generate a new value and then check itself against them all again. Now my problem is once I find a matching number how can I reset the loop so that it starts at the beginning again to check the new value against all children of the group. I tried doing this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

for i = 1, neutralGroup.numChildren do
        local child = neutralGroup[i]
        if(current.value == child.value) then
                current.value = math.random(1,96)
                i = 1
        end
end

Just put it all inside a function ;-)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

function checkValue()   for i = 1, neutralGroup.numChildren do         local child = neutralGroup[i]         if(current.value == child.value) then                 current.value = math.random(1,96)                 i = 1         end end   end   --When you want to start the loop again simply just call the function:   checkValue()

why so serious?

Cause I can
