Help with Coding loop

[assface33]

I'm trying edit some code for a garry's mod addon and I try this

Code: [Select]

function (this part doesn't matter)
   local i = 1
       if i<11 then
            (code stuff line 1)
            (code stuff line 2)
            i = i + 1
end
but it doesn't work. If someone could tell me what I should do and why mine doesn't work I'd really appreciate it.

If you're calling that function repeatedly and expecting it to count, it's always assigning i = 1

If you're expecting it to loop, you have no loop statement.
(Tons of lua tutorials, I just picked that one out of hundreds of google search found pages)

Defining "doesn't work" would be nice. Knowing your use case means we can help you more accurately and not just provide broad solutions.

Also, I don't know if this was from cropping out code or whatever, but you're missing an end to close that if statement.
