Performing if loop multiple times to perform attack animation

Question

I am using the following code, w$$anonymous$$ch makes the game object look at me, walk towards me and then I change the boolean on the animation to perform an attack animation:

  transform.LookAt(ThePlayer.transform);
             if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), out Shot))
             {
                 float dist = Vector3.Distance(ThePlayer.transform.position, transform.position);
 
                 if (dist > 2.5f)
                 {
                     EnemySpeed = 0.01f;
                     //animation.SetBool("Running", true);
                     transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, new Vector3(ThePlayer.transform.position.x, transform.position.y, ThePlayer.transform.position.z), EnemySpeed);
                     TargetDistance = Shot.distance;
                     animator.SetBool("Moving", true);
                     animator.SetBool("Attack1Trigger", false);
 
                     animator.speed = 0.5f;
                     if (TargetDistance < AllowedRange)
                     {
 
                         if (AttackTrigger == 0)
                         {
                             EnemySpeed = 0.05f;
                             transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, new Vector3(ThePlayer.transform.position.x, transform.position.y, ThePlayer.transform.position.z), EnemySpeed);
 
 
                         }
                         else
                         {
                             EnemySpeed = 0.01f;
                             
                         }
                     }
 
 
                 }
                 else
                 {
                     animator.SetBool("Moving", false);
                     animator.SetBool("Attack1Trigger", true);
                     hasAttacked = true;
                 }
             }

And then I am calling t$$anonymous$$s to reduce the health of the player:

 if(EnemyMove.hasAttacked == true)
             {
                 currentHealth = currentHealth - 10;
                 healthBar.UpdateBar(currentHealth, maxHealth );
             }

But it seems it is only doing t$$anonymous$$s the once, and staying in the ELSE statement. I have tried to return but that does not work. Is there a way of saying to do t$$anonymous$$s on a loop?

T$$anonymous$$s sounds like a good use for 'w$$anonymous$$le' to be utilized.

 int i = 0;
 w$$anonymous$$le (i < 5) {
     EXECUTE THIS CODE;
     i++;
 }

The above will execute the code wit$$anonymous$$n until the conditional is false, so in t$$anonymous$$s example it will execute 5 times (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), or you can use t$$anonymous$$s:

 w$$anonymous$$le (true) {
     EXECUTE THIS CODE;
     if (condition that you want to stop performing the function is true) {
         break; 
     }
 }

In either solution you need to ensure that you can end the w$$anonymous$$le loop.

Also, use t$$anonymous$$s:

 currentHealth -= 10;
 instead of 
 currentHealth = currentHealth - 10;
