GameMaker Looking for a "when" type statement.

[OriginalGrim]

Is there any kind of "when" type statement in gamemaker? I'm trying to do a draw event and I only want things to start drawing if v = (number) and then have v += 1 to move on to the next thing but when it goes up a digit the previous thing stops drawing because v != (number) anymore. So I need something that will trigger the code but not stop it if the statement no longer = true.

I can't understand what you really want. I think what you want is:

while(v>0 && v<number) {
//Draw Stuff
}

If v is between 0 and let's say 100, then draw that.

something like this?

///create event
v = 0

///step event
v += 1

///draw event
if v >= 1
{
do stuff
}

edit: yeah what he said ;o)

This worked the text is staying now (although it's still crashing for a separate reason XD) I always forget about <and> for some reason. Thanks
