If I knew the proper terminology to look for, I could have found it already. So I'll explain it best I can literate, and you can probably figure out what Im trying to do.

Basically, this is what I've got going.

Script runs every 15 minutes. It clicks a series of links and buttons. That part works fine. The thing I need it to do now, is if ImageSearch detects a certain message/popup, it needs to temporarily abort the aforementioned primary script and run another script, and then return back to the primary script when it's done. That secondary script is going to have to run about every 24 hours, but I'd like imagesearch to scan for it every other hour.

So, here is an outline of what I think it should look like:
-------
Script A Running
Script A uses ImageSearch to scan for message
If message seen, will go to Script B. If not, will continue on about the loop.

Script B:
Temporarily pause Script A
Run Script Commands
Return to Script A
-------

Im somewhat new to the program. I haven't figured out how to make subscripts coincide with eachother. If they are even called that. Hence my dilemma. Help is much appreciated.



Here is the scriptage I have so far:

Lets call this one Script A, the Primary Script:

Guess I should have made an account. Can't edit last post.

I've done some hunting. The term I should be calling Script B is actually "Subroutine". What Im looking to do is put that subroutine in a loop. The rest of the loop is going to repeat 100 times before the subroutine is needed. The subroutine needs to be called upon by an Imagesearch done every 2 hours.

It's a little hard to understand what you are requesting
Maybe something like this:

Ah, yeah. I didn't mean I wanted it to loop 100 times before it did it's thing. I meant it might loop up to a hundred times before it's needed. I got the script working though. I put it on a 12 hour timer. I tested it with shorter timings and it seems to work. Although I'd rather have it triggered by a ImageSearch instead.
