[R] for loop

[Daniel Malter]

No, Jim is right. My answer is a shot in the blue, an attempt to guess from
your writing what you (might) want to do. It is actually completely unclear
from your question what you mean by "pass the next value of c into
Initial.State" What is "c" anyway? There is no "c" in your code.

That your function is self-contained does not help at all in that regard
because the entire code is not. The posting guide requires to post minimally
self-contained code and, therefore, either real or simulated data as well as
information on the packages necessary so that the error you encounter is
reproducible (by the way, often creating this code leads to the solution of
the error by yourself).

In addition, your statement 'the code stops after 1 model is complete' does
not unambiguously tell us whether the first loop runs through correctly or
whether there is an error and, if so, where this error resides. That's what
I mean when I say it is a shot in the blue because I assumed that your loop
indeed fails in iterating the loop appropriately rather than executing your
Models function. However, we cannot know.

Therefore, please read (and follow) the posting guide. And no worries, I
have asked questions like yours before. It just takes some willingness and
effort to learn to ask better questions in order to get helpful answers.

Jim

Settle down, just because you can't understand my post doesn't mean I didn't
follow the guidlines.
1)The code is commented. 
2)The problem in the code is succinct and therefore "minimal" even though it
cannot be self contained, the user-defined function itself is.
3) In order for you to be able to reproduce my code, you would need to to
install 13 packages and blend in 187 lines of patch code that I would need
to send you.

I meant that it will model (with function Models) the first species in i,
and will not model any of the others.
