So,
to make this loop, I was going to do something like this:

while rc == -1 do
local ActualTool = wx.wxGetNumberFromUser()
local rc = ActualTool
end

but it won't change the rc inside the loop.  I changed the variable name to Test and it returned an ERROR.   Why is that?

While writing this reply, I was testing the loop again.  It isn't even changing my variable ActualTool from the GetNumberFromUser.

Try using the repeat command like this

Code: [Select]
local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
repeat
    local ActualTool = wx.wxGetNumberFromUser("What tool is in the turret?", "Tool # ","Current Tool", 1, 1, 6) -- Default, Min, Max.
until ActualTool ~= -1
--mc.mcToolSetCurrent(inst, ActualTool)
wx.wxMessageBox(tostring(ActualTool))

Thanks Daz.  That's exactly what I was looking for.  I had no idea that command even existed!! :)

Hi,
Chaoticone's link to the Lua 5.2 manual is great, I usually have it open when I'm doing any coding, I still have to delve into it a lot.

Just be warned there is a Lua 5.3 and some things change and can and will trip you up if you blithely believe that Mach can handle 5.3.

Thanks for the info, Brett and Craig.
I've looked through that manual before.  I don't know why I didn't think to look for a "Repeat" command.  Couldn't see the forest for the trees I guess.
Craig,
I'm guessing Mach uses the 5.2 stuff then?

HAHAHAHA Once youve finished with the Lua Manual you can then move on to wxLua Manual  :o ;D :D ;)

Very true Daz. If the reference manual makes you happy the wxLua manual might put you over the edge.  ;D

In the reference manual, look at http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#9

After testing the "Repeat" Command.  It isn't working as expected.  When I run through the code, it returns an ERROR when it reads "while actualtool ~=1"  After I input a number in the box, it reads that number just fine.  But as soon as the debugger gets on the "While" line, it returns an ERROR in the ActualTool Variable.
