Every time I look at it I wish you could have used at least a while loop but then I realize he probably doesn't know how to use those :<

Therefore, this. variables will go through the whole script, but only on the size it's instanced on. So, a this.timer = 5; declaration on serverside will not set this.timer = 5; on clientside and vice versa.

So I'll have to make a new variable on client side?

HMM I really wanted to know though what switch() does and while........ and whats cmd? i won't go there until I finish what I need to learn before.

You use while and do...while for conditional looping (you don't know how many times you have to loop). You use switch when you wanna compare 1 variable to a bunch of values (could also be done with a bunch of if...else if). You use break if you want to exit a loop early (I usually put those with a condition). You use return; when you want to exit a function early. I could give you java syntax, but you probably don't want that.

Well yes, this would've worked actually, but he isn't getting the for() loop so I doubt he'd know how a while loop works.

PHP Code:

---

while(temp.i <= 5) {
  echo(temp.i);
  temp.i++;
}

He doesn't really need do{}, I even doubt anyone uses it on graal anyways: (if it works)

PHP Code:

---

do {
  echo(temp.i);
  temp.i++;
} while (temp.i <=5);

cmd is just a variable you call it cmd...? It's short for command.
Gs2 for the Noobs #3 will explain how loops, switch() and other stuff you want to learn, meanwhile, keep reading the #1 and #2.

I like using do...while when I wanna make a loop but don't know the condition at the beginning. So I'll put a do{, put the stuff in, then figure out the condition on the end.

do is not a loop, it's more of an enclosement, while is.
