For loop assistance with auto-repairing

Hi guys,

I just can’t wrap my head around for loops, here’s what I’ve done for auto-repair in STC but I am unable to get the thing to loop through the proximity group and pick the worst off ship

Can someone please tell me where my for loop went wrong?

function AutoRepair(CustomGroup, playerIndex, shipID)

   if SOB_tShips[shipID].iRepairShip == 1 then

   	print(">> REPAIR >> | repair ship "..shipID.." of player "..playerIndex.." recognised")

   	if SOB_tShips[shipID].iRepairingShipID == 0 then

   		local nearbyShips = "nearbyShips"
   		SobGroup_Create(nearbyShips)
   		SobGroup_Clear(nearbyShips)

   		Player_FillProximitySobGroup(nearbyShips, playerIndex, CustomGroup, 6000)

   		local nearbyShipCount = 0
   		local mostDamagedShipID = 0
   		local mostDamagePercentage = 1

   		if SobGroup_Count(nearbyShips) >= 0 then

   			nearbyShipCount = SobGroup_Count(nearbyShips)

   		end

   		print(">> REPAIR >> | There is no ship currently assigned to repairship "..shipID.." of player "..playerIndex.." with "..nearbyShipCount.." ships nearby")

   		for i = 1, nearbyShipCount do

   			if SobGroup_HealthPercentage(nearbyShips[i]) < mostDamagePercentage then

   				mostDamagePercentage = SobGroup_HealthPercentage(nearbyShips[i])
   				mostDamagedShipID = GetShipId(nearbyShips[i])

   			end

   		end

   		print(">> REPAIR >> | the most damaged ship near repairship "..shipID.." of player "..playerIndex.." is ship "..mostDamagedShipID)

   		SOB_tShips[shipID].iRepairingShipID = mostDamagedShipID

   		SobGroup_RepairSobGroup(CustomGroup, SOB_tShips[mostDamagedShipID].sob)

   	else

   		if SobGroup_HealthPercentage(SOB_tShips[iRepairingShipID].sob) == 1 then

   			print(">> REPAIR >> | ship "..SOB_tShips[shipID].iRepairingShipID.." is now fully repaired")

   			SOB_tShips[shipID].iRepairingShipID = 0

   		end

   	end

   end

end

I’m hoping to get this working before Thursday night AEST so I can include it in this month’s upload
