Looping a task for several times and then stop.

[Alexandr]

Hi folks!
I've been using Tasker for a while now (3 weeks aproximately) and I
find it incredibly useful. I've figured out how to do lots of things
with it by myself, but there's one that I've got no idea how to do.
I've already searched the web for the answer, but nothing found.

What I wanna do is to loop a task for several times (e.g. 5 times) and
then stop it. I've tried to achieve this with the 'wait' task at the
end and 'go to action=1' tasks, but if I set it that way it will never
stop.

This task I want to loop is not scheduled but triggered by the camera
button.

Thanks in advance.

Example:

Variable Set %STARTTIME, %TIMES
DO SOMETHING HERE
Goto 2 if [ %TIMES - %STARTTIME < 5 ]

Loops for 5 seconds.
