help to stop a boucle and obtain only a value

hi, i can’t stop my boucle

the goal is find the nearest character from my event.x from a touch function and assign to him a function.

the snippet :

--cnt.comment=0 --#character=30 local function commentCharacter(event,character)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; for i=1,#character do &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; print(character[i].x,character[i].y) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if character[i].x +150 \> event.x and character[i].x -150 then &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;cnt.comment=cnt.comment+1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;if cnt.comment == 1 then cnt.comment=0 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;print(i,"i") &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;end &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; end &nbsp; &nbsp; end end commentCharacter(event,character) --result : i,1 i,4 i,8

or what i would like is only a value

--result: i,1&nbsp;

thanks for your help.

Hi.

A couple of things.

This

and character[i].x -150

appears to be incomplete.

Instead of

 cnt.comment=cnt.comment+1 if cnt.comment == 1 then cnt.comment=0 print(i,"i") end

maybe you want

print(i, "i") return -- in this case, break would also work

hi StarCrunch,

thanks for your response.

for your first comment, it’s a typo by myself :rolleyes: i have simplified my code and i forgot a part.

With break, effectively it works.

Have a good day.
