It's somewhat confusing to explain without an example so...
To initialize the loop, give whatever condition; and set the event to
Special > Fastloops > Start loop
Name the loop in the "" and tell it how many times you want it to loop.
Once the loop is initialized, it skips the rest of the events and searches for conditions that have "onloop" in them anywhere in the event editor. So
Condition>> Start loop "Loop" 5 times (finds any condition with "onloop" in it and tests it)
Condition>> Event (gets skipped while the loop is running since it doesn't have "onloop" in the condition)
Onloop "Loop">> Add 1 to Counter (since this one does have "onloop," it will run when the loop runs)

This would result in the counter equaling 5 before continuing as normal to the event that didn't have "onloop"
