Spent hours on this and not sure why

This is my Looper Script, located in my animation script
Code: 
void looper(int Frame, int Limit)
{// Loops current animation
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    void loop = getlocalvar("Loop" + self);

    if(loop==NULL()){ // Localvar empty?
      setlocalvar("Loop" + self, 0);
      loop = 0;
    }
  
    if(loop < Limit){ // loops reach limit?
      setlocalvar("Loop" + self, loop+1); // Increment number of loops
      updateframe(self, Frame); //Change frame
    } else if(loop==Limit){ // loops reach limit?
      setlocalvar("Loop" + self, NULL());
    }
}

This is my attack, I want the enemy to grab the player and keep attacking them. But they just play the animation once and stop.
If I use Loop 1, it works (but wont end, that's a problem)
Can anyone see what's wrong?

I am not on my computer right now, but I can point out the problem there. You placed the looper function in the second frame while the looper function is trying to repeat to change frame to sixth frame. Try to place that function to the second or third to the last frame of the animation. The first parameter of looper is to change frame as a beginning of its loop while the second one is for how many times it loops until it expires. O see you want it to loop 5 times while changing back to the start of its sixth frame.

Looper {frame} {limit}

Code: 
    anim follow8 ##grab successful

    delay 2
    jumpframe 0 0 0
    bbox 0 0 0 0
    @cmd slamstart2
    offset 770 625
    @cmd position 0 0 5 -1 1
    frame data/chars/soldier/S01_01.png #...
