What is the variable type in Scar that is used for the GoTo condition.

This works kinda like this: You declare the variable gotoHere (as what type I do not know). Then when you use it in the beginning of the script. You later call on it to go to that exact position of the script where you defined it.

I know Scar has something like this because I have used it before. I just forgot the syntax for it.

In C++, it would go something like this:

// goto loop example

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  int n=10;
  loop: //define it here
  cout << n << ", ";
  n--;
  if (n>0) goto loop; //use it here
  cout << "FIRE!\n";
  return 0;
}

In scar it should be something like

program New;
var
  gotoHere: (datatype);

begin
  gotoHere:
//do stuff
  goto gotoHere;
end.

I'm probably wrong, but that's my best shot at it.

It's a label, my friend.

Go to Tutorial Island -> Search this forum or w/e -> "Labels" and you'll find Ejjman's tut and propably a few others :)

Btw, right syntax, but I believe you need to be in a loop to use GoTo.

EDIT: Ejj's tut is wrong, he is doing invalid jumps in there :(

program New;

Var
  I, II: Integer;
  
Label Lol;

begin
  Repeat
    Lol: Writeln('Hello');
    I := I + 1;
    II := II + Random(2);
    If I > 5 Then
      If II < 5 Then
        GoTo Lol
      Else
        Break;
    Wait(200);
  Until(False);
end.

That maybe helps you.

program New;
label goHere;

begin
  goHere:
  goto goHere
end.

:)

EDIT: Kinda beat… keep in mind, you can't use labels in loops or case statements (maybe something else too? I forgot)

Wow that was quick. Thanks guys. I'll make note of the restrictions bullzeye95. Thanks.

BullZeye, isn't that what I just did?

You were right about cases though.
