Loops Sort of....

Hey just me again with my slight problem

I need a loop to do something like this

word 0x00000000 ;material index Triangle 0
word 0x00000000, 0x00000001, 0x00000002 ;vertex indices

word 0x00000000 ;material index Triangle 1
word 0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000003 ;vertex indices

word 0x00000000 ;material index Triangle 2
word 0x00000004, 0x00000005, 0x00000006 ;vertex indices

word 0x00000000 ;material index Triangle 3
word 0x00000004 0x00000006, 0x00000007 ;vertex indices

my code is this so far

VB Code:

Private Sub MakeTriangles()
Dim Counter3 As Integer
Dim Tri As Integer
Dim TriNumber As Integer
Tri = (txtFaces.Text * 2) 'Do Mathmatics
Tri = (Tri - 1)
TriangleNumber = 0
For Counter3 = 0 To Tri ' Set up 10 repetitions.
txtoutput.Text = txtoutput.Text & vbCrLf + "word    0x00000000                          ;material index       Triangle " & TriangleNumber
txtoutput.Text = txtoutput.Text & vbCrLf + "word    0x00000000, 0x00000001, 0x00000002          ;vertex indices" & vbCrLf
TriangleNumber = TriangleNumber + 1
Next Counter3
End Sub

Which results in.....

word 0x00000000 ;material index Triangle 0
word 0x00000000, 0x00000001, 0x00000002 ;vertex indices

word 0x00000000 ;material index Triangle 1
word 0x00000000, 0x00000001, 0x00000002 ;vertex indices

word 0x00000000 ;material index Triangle 2
word 0x00000000, 0x00000001, 0x00000002 ;vertex indices

word 0x00000000 ;material index Triangle 3
word 0x00000000, 0x00000001, 0x00000002 ;vertex indices

as you can see from the top segment of triangles

but how can i go about implementing it so it does it this way

so that it does the Values
like in the top one
so it can count up them

i dont know how to make the first one only change after its done 2 of the same
its hard to explain

basicaly i need my program to replacate whats in the top lot

we have got the formatting sorted so it can count in normal numbers

then i can change it for when it prints the results

as i say its hard to explain....

What line does the yellow bar lan on in debug?

VB Code:

Ahex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Ahex)), "0") & Hex(A)

??

Hmm
Is it because i add something it dosent like the new numbers ?
so it wont convert them ?
hmm *Ponders*

can you help

I think you're taking the wrong approach. What is the purpose if this code?

The Code should work fine but its just that error
it does what i have abouve it
prints the triangle things and Should keep going but it dosent it goes through the thing once and on the second try it stops i just need to know why and how to fix it

VB Code:

Private Sub MakeTriangles()
Tri = (txtFaces.Text * 1) 'Do Mathmatics
Tri = (Tri - 1)
TriangleNumber = 0
Dim A As Integer
Dim B As Integer
Dim C As Integer
Dim D As Integer
Dim E As Integer
Dim F As Integer
A = 0
B = 1
C = 2
D = 0
E = 2
F = 3
For Counter3 = 0 To Tri
Debug.Print Ahex
Ahex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Ahex)), "0") & Hex(A)
Bhex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Bhex)), "0") & Hex(B)
Chex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Chex)), "0") & Hex(C)
Dhex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Dhex)), "0") & Hex(D)
Ehex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Ehex)), "0") & Hex(E)
Fhex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Fhex)), "0") & Hex(F)
txtoutput.Text = txtoutput.Text & vbCrLf + "    word    0x00000000                          ;material index       Triangle " & TriangleNumber
txtoutput.Text = txtoutput.Text & vbCrLf + "    word    " & Ahex & ", " & Bhex & ", " & Chex & ", " & "          ;vertex indices" & vbCrLf
TriangleNumber = TriangleNumber + 1
txtoutput.Text = txtoutput.Text & vbCrLf + "    word    0x00000000                          ;material index       Triangle " & TriangleNumber
txtoutput.Text = txtoutput.Text & vbCrLf + "    word    " & Dhex & ", " & Ehex & ", " & Fhex & ", " & "          ;vertex indices" & vbCrLf
A = (A + 4)
B = (B + 4)
C = (C + 4)
D = (D + 4)
E = (E + 4)
F = (F + 4)
Next Counter3
End Sub

Right still no Luck here i need your expertise hehe
it does one loop then crashes on this line

VB Code:

Ahex = "0x" & String(8 - Len(Hex(Ahex)), "0") & Hex(A)

It does it the first time around but the second run time error 13 type mismatch.........

and i cant for the life of me see why

Bugger Bugger Bugger!
i found the problem but now it just starts fresh every loop

Im so stupid
it starts fresh because i put my clearing code over my Friggen loop code that adds numbers to the values each time!
