This lets you do a bunch of actions over and over, without copying and pasting all those actions again. From 1 to X means how many times it will be run.

okay here's a more detailed approach, this usually used for array variables or when you have to do the same thing over again.

lets say you want to create 5 footman (yes i know this can be done with one action)

for each integer from 1-5 do actions

-creat 1 footman at ------

or lets say you have five different unit type variables, and want to use them

for each interger from 1-5 do actions

-create 1 variable unit type (for loop interger A)

for loop interger A is the number, that the loop is on, so if it's done it once, and it's on the second the number is 2. Open up a good non-JASS spell or map, and you should see this it is rather common
