Dont use this notation if you plan to change the cycle ranges dynamically. The range values are checked only before the cycle started. Use for_forspec instead.
Example, that won't work correctly: _xy = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]; for "_i" from 0 to (count _xy - 1) do { if ( _xy select _i == 3 ) then { _xy deleteAt _i; _i = _i - 1; }; }; (Here the _i = 9 step will still be checked by the cycle, which will lead to "out of the array range" error.)
This code will work correctly: _xy = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]; for [{_i=1},{_i<=(count xy - 1)},{_i=_i+1}] do { if ( _xy select _i == 3 ) then { _xy deleteAt _i; _i = _i - 1; }; }; (The last step here will be _i = 8 with array looking like this: [1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10])
