Looping my functions

[Lax0450]

This is one of my first scripts so be patient, but it works almost completely until it gets to Call("Attacking") in the function NT. Am i unable to then recall the original function its being called in such as i have done below? Also if I set NT to something greater than one it just does the NT function over and over. Its possible the problem is with my $conf variable and I'm going to be looking into that a bit more. If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. If all looks ok then its most likely my $conf variable and ill just fool around with that for a bit.

Here's where I'm having the problem.

#include <IE.au3>

$page=_IEAttach("Blacklist")
$body=_IEBodyReadText($page)

$Conf=_StringBetween( $body, "Confidence: " , "/", -1)
$conf=Number($conf[0])


$LF=_StringBetween( $body, "Life force: " , "/", -1)
$NLF=StringReplace( $LF[0], ",", "")
$NLF=Number($NLF)


$MaxLF=_StringBetween( $body, "LF: "&$LF[0]&"/" , "Conf", -1)
$NMaxLF=StringReplace($MaxLF[0], ",", "")
$NMaxLF=Number($NMaxLF)
$NT=1
$used=0

Func Attacking()
    $conf=_StringBetween( $body, "Confidence: " , "/", -1)
    $conf=Number($conf[0])
    While $conf>0
        _IELinkClickByText($page, "attack")
        If $NLF<$NMaxLF/2 then
            _IELinkClickByText($page, "House")
            _IELinkClickByText($page, "Full Heal")
        EndIf
        _IELinkClickByText($page, "Blacklist")
        $body=_IEBodyReadText($page)
        $conf=_StringBetween( $body, "Confidence: " , "/", -1)
        $conf=Number($conf[0])
        $LF=_StringBetween( $body, "Life force: " , "/", -1)
        $NLF=StringReplace( $LF[0], ",", "")
        $NLF=Number($NLF)
        $MaxLF=_StringBetween( $body, "LF: "&$LF[0]&"/" , "Conf", -1)
        $NMaxLF=StringReplace($MaxLF[0], ",", "")
        $NMaxLF=Number($NMaxLF)
    Wend
    If $used<$NT then
        Call("NT")
    Endif
Endfunc

Func NT()
    $used=$used+1
    _IELinkClickByText($page, "--------'s House")
    _IELinkClickbytext($page, "use")
    _IELinkClickByText($page, "Confirm")
    _IELinkClickByText($page, "Blacklist")
    Call("Attacking")
EndFunc

Call("Attacking")

The Call() function has a special purpose, It should not be used to call function regularly. To do that, You should use function notation, ie.

MyFunc($MyParameter)

So You should call your NT() function like this:

If $used<$NT then
        NT() ;Calls NT() with no parameters
Endif

Same applies for Attacking()

Thank you very much, i knew it was odd having a function to call my functions but i saw it there so i thought perhaps it was necessary. And would you look at that I found my error after sitting here for hours trying to figure it out after painful test since it takes about 8 mins of runtime to finally see if i fixed my error.

If youre curious:

Error was in the $conf variable, since its constantly changing as the page refreshes the body needed to be refreshed also. So as i redefined the variable i was really doing absolutely nothing. The body text ($body variable) needs to be redefined each time i'm redefining my $conf variable. The reason I couldnt figure it out is that my while loop the $conf variable is changing, but thats because i redefined $body!

Thanks a lot ---- Lax0450
