goto alternative

[hck7h60vrmn72]

hello, I'm new to autoit and I need your help. I have a script that waits for a red button to become blue, then clicks it.

Do
    Sleep(1000)
    
Until PixelGetColor(491, 425) = 0x1871A5

but sometimes the webpage freezes and I'd like to add a func that counts time and if the button does not becomes red in like 60 seconds, it reloads the page, clicks some menus to get to the button and starts watching it again.

goto would be perfect, maybe I need to use switch and case funcs?

Do something like this.

Global $Seconds = 0

Do
    Sleep(1000)
    $Seconds += 1
    If $Seconds >= 60 Then
         DoWhateverToGetItGoingAgain
         $Seconds = 0
    Endif
Until PixelGetColor(491, 425) = 0x1871A5

If I'm understanding you correctly, that should work.

thanks a lot

I will workaround the issue of relaunching script by installing an old version of autoit, where the "goto" is available. By now I can't imagine a better way.

GoTo went with the dinosuar age. Just create what you want in a function and then call that function as often as you have to. Similar to using the old GoSub, from the same era as GoTo.
