[Resolved] different actions for different count within loop

thebighere

Hey,

I'm making a dynamic map with a line btwn two cities. This part works fine.

My trouble is, if I have more than one line btwn two cities, I want to do something to differentiate btwn them.

So I have a loop which calls all records that fit the requirements, but how do I tell the first to do a straight line, the second to do an arc above the line, the third to do an arc below the line, etc, within a loop?

Hopefully that makes sense.

thanks very much

Count em...

If $i=1 do this
else do this
else do this etc

Look into using switch though - better than using lots of elseifs....

chancer, thanks for the response

maybe i am misunderstanding what you mean, but is $i the count?

if that's the case, I'm stuck because I can't have all the lines do the same thing--you know?

if i have 1, no problem, but if i have more than one, how do i tell the line to be a certain kind of arc but only on the second, and a different kind of arc on the third, etc...

Folks,

I figured it out eventually.

I set the values of a and z locations, then checked on the next go-round if they were the same--if so, then i increased $count -- if not, i made $count == 1.

maybe this was too simple for folks to assist with, but thanks anyway
