Example 1:: while {a < b} do {a = a + 1};
Example 2:: A practical example: Repair all members of a group to such a level that they are able to stand up: { while {! canStand _x && alive _x} do { _x setDamage (damage _x - 0.01); }; } forEach units group unitname;

Kronzky: The boolean code that's used to evaluate the while condition can be preceded by code that executes a regular command.
