Broadcast message in a loop doesn't work. It does work in a timer but that's slow for looping through multiple dynamic messages. I'm assuming it's the same as how behaviours with a duration other than 0 don't work in loops and timer(0s). I hope this can be changed.
Also, I already previously posted this a while ago, but conditional loops still say "loop until {condition}" but actually do "loop while {condition}". E.g. "Loop until < 10" loops WHILE less than 10.

Sorry this got buried.
This isn't actually a bug. Broadcast message does work in a loop, the thing is that if you put a both a loop and a receive message behaviour onto the canvas, they can be executed in any order. The problem occurs when the loop behaviour is executed before the receive message behaviour is.
Solution: Put the loop and receive message behaviours into the same behaviour bundle, with the receive message executed before the loop behaviour.

@hamed What if I am broadcasting in a loop from one object, and I want to receive the message in a different object? Loop and receive can't be in the same bundle then. EDIT: Nevermind idk what this is talking about because I just tested exactly what I just said and it works fine. Broadcast a message 50 times in a loop, the other object received 50 messages.

@hamed yeah this is old, I think I made a post later saying I was wrong and made a mistake somewhere else that made it seem like it didn't work in a loop, was probably that the broadcast ran before receive was intitialised.
