4.2 loop variables no longer exposed to Java Script ?

And yes, and no. Implemented in 4.2.0.

The variable is still in the list of variables (should be removed completely), but it’s not used. This removes probable issues like here. It’s a bad practice to declare loop’s variables and procedure’s arguments as global variables.

We have found a work around by assigning the i Var to another varialble and then accessing that in JS but why would we need to do this?

Congrats! ))) You’ve found the correct solution commonly used )))

for (let j = 0; j > array.length; j++) {
  if (someCondition)
    someGlobalVar = array[j];
}

or

for (let j in array) { // also works with dictionaries
  if (someCondition)
    someGlobalVar = array[j];
}

j is a variable for the inner use inside loops, it should not be global.

They are not missing ))) You can open visual_logic.js and see them. They are just not used outside loops.

Now I understand what you are talking about ))) It’s your exec script puzzle that can read variables only from VARS…

So what’s the problem? If you want loops working like in 3.x.x just add an additional variable that can be accessed by other puzzles and JS code inside the exec script puzzle

I have to go find every instance where I’ve used this approach and fix it.

And you’d better do it ASAP. Move the second loop into the first loop to make it work the same way with any Verge3D version

Besides, nobody forces you to re-save puzzles (and visual_logic.js) in all apps after updating to the latest version.

Read a little more about loops (for, while, forEach) in JS…
