Multiple While loops concern.

[scorp2k19]

Hey guys, iv been running multiple tests to learn the While Loop completely but i have a few concerns lol sorry

Here is an example of what I am trying:

 

HotKeySet("^!x", "MyExit")

While 1
   If PixelSearch() ;for example: a blue color from a notification from Facebook
    If not (@error) then 
    ;if pixel is found, do this until pixel is not there 

    Else
        While 1
            If PixelSearch() ;for example: a white color from a Gmail notification when you receive an email
            If not (@error) then
             ;if pixel is found, do this until pixel is not there
             Else
                Exitloop ;i placed this exitloop so it will go back to continue searching for the blue pixel.
             EndIf  
        WEnd
     EndIf
WEnd

Func MyExit()
    Exit 
EndFunc

 

When I try this, it doesn't return to loop 1 but I am not sure if the reason why is not going back to loop 1 is due to the ExitLoop I placed... maybe I should use something "Do, Until" instead of While?

PixelSearch() is not the solution to automate such things.

There is NO way that posted script works so please give a proper example for us to look at or simply post the real script!

Sorry, I was just trying to understand how it works.

I will try to post a proper example when I get home.

 

EDIT to avoid double post: Can you answer me a quick question?  Whats the difference between using While 1 vs While True ?  is it the same?

 

Thanks

HotKeySet("^!x", "MyExit")

While 1
   If PixelSearch() ;for example: a blue color from a notification from Facebook
    If not (@error) then 
    ;if pixel is found, do this until pixel is not there 

    Else
        While 1
            If PixelSearch() ;for example: a white color from a Gmail notification when you receive an email
            If not (@error) then
            ConsoleWrite("white pixel found" & @crlf)
             ;if pixel is found, do this until pixel is not there
             Else
                ConsoleWrite("returning to main loop" & @crlf)
                Exitloop ;i placed this exitloop so it will go back to continue searching for the blue pixel.
             EndIf  
        WEnd
     EndIf
WEnd

Func MyExit()
    Exit 
EndFunc

This way you can see what's happening.

While 1 = While True

Saying True makes so more sense and makes your code much more readable (especially to me... slightly dyslexic, I always think 0 is true). It's good practice, see: magic numbers
