Have you learned nothing? Gotos == bad code. Gotos inside loops or inside If...then == super bad code. Additonally, how the hell are you supposed to exit the while loop? It never adjusts the value for the list element to check the conditional. I'm preety sure that is your problem right there.

While's should only be used when a loop is needed. Labels are things to try and avoid.

See lafferjm, it was that easy.

The code could be further optimized by reordering the conditional tests in the If statements. I.e., L2(1)>=1 becomes 1=<L2(1 , saving a little more memory. Smile

i have already tried the if part. and well i am trying to make it simple so that i do not have to enter every possible combination. like what i am trying to say is if you buy a weapon i store a number into L2 and what i want it to do is if you own a boot and helmet to display boot and helmet instead of just helmet do you get what i am saying now.

So what's wrong with the modified code?

Awesome. Topic closed. On second thought, I'll leave it for the next time you have a question.

if you read other posts in this topic this has nothing to do with them. i just stuck it here to keep down the number of topics in this here forum. anyways i am making a sprite and it draws and erases and i was wondering if there was any way possible to speed it up. and i know someone will probably say lines if they type the code in but i dont want to use lines because i am just trying to get used to the plotting and all that. here is code:

I figured out what the problem is.
You should put:

is there also a way to speed up the drawing and erasing because it looks slopy when it moves.

Statsprites:

:Plot1(Scatter,L1,L2,[tiny dot]
This is in points,not pixels.

I think that's the syntax...
