Hi,

I need help with a script I'm creating. It will create a cool pattern that can be drawn on a graphics software my friend and I are developing.

While(1)
    Send("{down down}")
    sleep($delayDraw)
    Send("{down up}")
    sleep($delayDraw)
    Send("R down")
    sleep($delayDraw)
    Send("R up")
    sleep($delayDraw)
    Red(681,433)
    Red(681,362)
    Red(654,407)
    Red(704,406)
    Yellow(681,433)
    Yellow(681,362)
    Yellow(654,407)
    Yellow(704,406)
    Blue(681,433)
    Blue(681,362)
    Blue(654,407)
    Blue(704,406)
    ChangeDirections1(691, 593)
   WEnd

After the function "Change Directions#" doesn't return an error, I want the While Loop to end, and another While Loop to start.

While(2)
    Send("{up down}")
    sleep($delayDraw)
    Send("{up up}")
    sleep($delayDraw)
    Send("R down")
    sleep($delayDraw)
    Send("R up")
    sleep($delayDraw)
    Red(681,433)
    Red(681,362)
    Red(654,407)
    Red(704,406)
    Yellow(681,433)
    Yellow(681,362)
    Yellow(654,407)
    Yellow(704,406)
    Blue(681,433)
    Blue(681,362)
    Blue(654,407)
    Blue(704,406)
    ChangeDirections2(679,302)
   WEnd

When "Change Direction" doesn't return an error, how can I make the While Loop that the function was called in end and another While Loop to start?

 

For example, let's call the specific loops "While 1" and "While 2" 

After the function "Change Directions1" in "While 1" doesn't return an error, I want "While 1" to end and "While 2" to start. 

When the function "Change Directions2" in "While 2" doesn't return an error, I want "While 2" to end and "While 1" to start again.

 

Is there any command to start a line of code inside of a function? For example, look at line 4. Line 1 would represent the start of "While 1" and Line 20 would represent "While 2"

Func ChangeDirections1($x, $y)
    $detect = PixelSearch($x - 5, $y - 5, $x + 5, $y + 5, 0x97968A,5)
        if not(@error) Then
            "command that runs code at Line 1 and below"
EndFunc

Func ChangeDirections2($x, $y)
    $detect = PixelSearch($x - 5, $y - 5, $x + 5, $y + 5, 0x808080,5)
        if not(@error) Then
            "command that runs code at Line 20 and below"
EndFunc

bump

Instead of 2 loops, i'd have 1 and alternate the code with a variable and a condition.

$loop = 1

If 1 run first part

else run the second

one way to do it

#include <Misc.au3>
$Action = 1
While 1
If _IsPressed(21) Then ;page up
    $Action = 1
ElseIf _IsPressed(22) Then ;page down
    $Action = 2
EndIf
If $Action=1 Then
    ConsoleWrite('Action 1 - '&@MSEC&@CRLF)
ElseIf $Action = 2 Then
    ConsoleWrite('Action 2 - '&@MSEC&@CRLF)
EndIf
WEnd

would I replace the ConsoleWrite lines with my code, and what is the _IsPressed part? thanks so much!
