For Loop and wait

Why this is not working??

<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">

For "slowDownLoop" from 1 to 5

     txtBox set text to "LoopIndex: " & LoopIndex("slowDownLoop")

     System wait 1.0 seconds

</font>

Every time the loop runs it sets the txtBox to "5" from the beguining, I would like to see the counter increment every second but its not happening that way.

Thank you

Seems that each loop cycle is excecuted one after another not respecting the wait, so I tried this:

<font face="Courier New, Courier, mono">

For "slowDownLoop" from 1 to 5

     System wait 1.0 * LoopIndex("slowDownLoop") seconds

     txtBox set text to "LoopIndex: " & LoopIndex("slowDownLoop")

</font>

but by the time the first second has passed the Loop has already finished running and the LoopIndex is already "5"

Can�t figure this out without using a helper variable.

The whole loop is executed in one tick, you can use search to find some discussions about it :)

After the wait event the loop is not really executing anymore, so you cannot refer to loopIndex anymore. You could do it like this:

variable = 0

for 0 .. 10

.. wait loopIndex seconds

.. add 1 to variable

.. set text

Why not use 'every 1 seconds' event to set your text rather than a loop?
