Hi is there anyway to count how many times a loop has run?
Like in java you can do var++. I can't find anything about it on lua.org.

var = var + 1.

If you're wanting to stop a loop after so many iterations, it may be better to use a for loop.

or if you are using while and want to break it use


if var == x then break end


while var < x do
[stuff you want to do]
end
