Hello,
I have the below Macro as part of a Matrix. It is a way of randomly playing different sections of a loop and depending on triggered Case Branch the loop is divided in different numbers of slices. When I have triggered one Case Branch I cannot however retrigger the marco with a new Case Branch. It is somehow stuck in the current case branch loop. I have tried to overcome this by have in the “Set $rndSliceActivated$ = false” line before all Case Branches to break the While loop but this does not do any change. Thankful for any help

—-20 February 2024 at 7 h 19 min #6307PhilippeKeymasterHi,
The issue here comes from the fact we cannot stop the RepeatWhile loop from outside.I think you can set the buttons in toggle mode and add a condition to stop the RepeatWhile loop if the button is set to off or another button is pushed.
I don’t know if this will work in your situation, but it could be a solution.
Below is a simple example of this.
Best,

I will look into the above.
One thing though. You write that a RepeatWhile Loop cannot be stopped from the outside. However when I trigger the below CaseBranch from a second matrix (where I set the same Global variable $rndSliceActivated$ used in the first Matrix RepeatWhile statement) then the loops selection is reset and the RepeatWhile loop in the first Matrix is stopped and I can trigger another CaseBranch. To me this means that the RepeatWhile CAN be stopped from the outside, right? Or am I misunderstanding something?

——–20 February 2024 at 19 h 15 min #6319PhilippeKeymasterYes, you are right, I was not precise enough.
Yes, if you change the variable value and the RepeatWhile is false, then the loop is stopped.I was thinking to the Sleep function we put in normal Macro, they can be stopped by a new user action…
