Why are we using/wasting so many loops?

[Obsidian]

I made another post somewhere about how i ended up doing it... i just did a

Code:

For i = 1 to max_players
    whatever whatever (this is what calculated the TotalOnlinePlayers)
    OnlinePlayer(TotalOnlinePlayers).Index = i
next i

Then everywhere else i just ended up doing for i = 1 to totalonlineplayers... then i just pulled their index back out from that...
