[Repeat until <not <condition> >] does that same thing as [while <condition>]. ^_^

I've also moved this to Suggestions, where it is better suited.

While (no pun intended) Harakou is right, you could also use:

[forever < >]
[ ][if < >]
[ ][ ]{Put script here}
[ ][________________]
[__________________]

"I've worked so hard for you and you give me nothing in return. Do you need help... Or do I?"

That's different though, because a while loop (and my workaround) will terminate and move on to the next bit of code when the condition is no longer satisfied, but a forever if loop will continually check no matter what.

You can always count on mods to fix up a situation.

While loops in programming, so something can be repeated while something is true.
