[Help] Breaking a for loop.

When I do !ssay start it starts up fine. Then when I try to stop it before It's finished I do !ssay stop and It just keeps on going. Thanks in advance.

                                case ".ssay":
                                case "!ssay":
                                case "#ssay":
                                    {
                                        if (admins.Contains(username))
                                        {
                                            if (arg.Length > 1)
                                            if (arg[1] == "start")
                                            {
                                                carryOn = true;
                                                for (int i = 5000 - 0; i >= 0; i -= 200)

Re: [Help] Breaking a for loop.

The problem is your starting a new instance of the for loop when you say "!ssay stop". It doesn't apply to the loop you already created with "!ssay".

At least that's what I got from it, I only briefly skimmed the code.

Do you have TeamViewer? Add me, my username is BuzzerBee.

EDIT: Nevermind, it was a lack of threading. I fixed it for him on TeamViewer.
Don't forget to thread your Thread.Sleeps! Or better yet, use await Task.Delay
