[help] restarting script after a number of clicks

[depddo]

Hello,

I only started learning autoit yesterday, and I have been stuck on this issue for while.

I want this script to do the following:
1) open an image gallery website (through clicks)
2) search for an image on screen, if the image is not on screen then click the next button (always in the same spot)
3) keep clicking next until finds the image.
4) once finds the image click and close window 
5) repeat

Now if the image detection is 100% I wouldn't have an issue, but sometimes it misses the picture, and I want the script to start all over if this happens... I'm not sure what the best way is, I was thinking after a certain # of clicks (which represent the pages it needs to scroll through).

Any help would be appreciated!

You want the script to start over or the Function?

Both answers involve setting up an error handler.

Exiting and restarting the script I would steer clear of.

Set up your script so that the function that would fail and need to be restarted can be controlled by the error handler.

For instance:

If _imgSearch = 0 Then

Exitloop

Restart Function

etc.

when misses it can't be 100%. Please attach the pictures (at least the pictures that are missed)

I would add a tolerance value to img search, and test.
