Circularities

[CollegeProject]

Anyone know why studio keeps throwing some of my stuff down into circularities is that normal? I am creating loops like (hard to write studio code.

i=0
if-i<num
true
  if- variable true
         true 
             do this
         else
             i=i+1
             revert to if-i<num

Of note it still works but I have a feeling something is off with how I am doing it. Or maybe it's normal for it to be thrown in circularities?

are you asking if there is a better way to do this? or are you having a problem doing this? question isn't all that clear.

I am asking if it's normal for it to be thrown in circularities section of the STV on reimport.

I searched an found a couple of threads and it seems normal although odd.

I suppose technically it's a probably a bug in the way studio identifies the Primary Reference in a loop. Before any work in Studio, I just set the top widget of the offending loop as a Primary Reference and the Circularities disappear.

Ya I noticed that but they reappear on import again it's odd but I'll ignore it thank you!

+1. It's just the way Studio works.

This generally shouldn't happen. IIRC, stuff should only show up in circularities if there is a set of Widgets that are all connected together via some parent-child relationship...and none of those Widgets have no parents (and also are not a Menu). These Widgets should essentially be unreachable from any other code. If this isn't what you are seeing...feel free to open an Issue on GitHub and put an example STV in there for me to look at.

I'll create an issue with example
