exitWith – Talk

It seems this command exits the current "scope" (is this the correct term?), rather than the current script file. Is this correct?

Example code, started using execVM:

<stuff>
for "_j" from 1 to _value do 
 {
  <stuff>
  if (<exit condition>) exitWith {player sideChat "Cancelled"};
 };
player sideChat "Complete";

If the exit condition is true, both sideChats are executed. Any comments? Or am I just stating the obvious? :) --Ceeeb 10:04, 7 May 2007 (CEST)

Seems so, yes. Good find. --raedor 12:33, 7 May 2007 (CEST)

Yes, it only exits the current level (or "block" or "scope" or whatever). So that behaviour would be expected.

Do this, for example, and it should become a bit more obvious:

for "_j" from 1 to 10 do 
  {
   player sideChat format["%1",_j];
   if (_j==5) exitWith {player sideChat "5 is enough"};
  };
 player sideChat "Complete";

-'''Note''' this command cannot be used as a way to return a value in a function!
-Not correct:
-<code>myFunc = {
-if (alive player) exitwith {true};
-false
-};</code>
-Good:
-<code>anotherFunc = {
-_return = objnull;
-{
-if (alive _x) exitwith {_return = _x}; // here we use it just to break out of the loop
-} foreach _array;
-_return
-};
