For loop doesn't loop in particlegeo.cpp

[SpaceJunk]

I was browsing the R6 source to see what could I understand from my experience with PHP, and noticed this in particlegeo.cpp for spark effects:

Code: Select all

// draw multiple copies of the effect to produce a blur effect
for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++)

That for isn't doing what the comment says, it just iterates once. Either x should be increased in i < x or the loop could be just removed, because it doesn't really loop.

Best for loop ever!

A single lap round the circuit is still a loop

Will this completely outraging mistake be fixed? I want Allegiance to put sparks on my sparks.

I suspect that the loop was put in place in case it was found that multiple iterations produced a better effect. Really, I doubt that the overhead is substantial.
