Viewing post in [Coding Query] Pause or Stop Cycle

Hi Errol,

I'm not 100% sure of the issue, but let me take a guess ... I may be very wrong ...

Are you talking about restarting a cycle?

You can reset a cycle by associating a boolean with the cycle, and if the cycle starts running with this boolean having a true value, then the cycle resets to the beginning of the loop, and the boolean is set to a false value.

If this isn't the issue / problem, then let me know.

Once inside the scope of a cycle, one command must always run. If you don't want a cycle to run for some other reason, then wrap it in an if statement.

Oh! It's not a problem, I was just wondering if there was a way I stop or pause a cycle for a few ticks, and then continue it (and not use skip interval, because it would be manual).
(Although, I wonder if I can make skip_interval a variable, hmmm.)
Anyway, thanks! I now understand how that reset_variable works. So that's good too! ^_^
