goto doestn work for me

why don't create function instead


function rebellionlabel()
   local gift = true
   while (gift) do
       if (giftcoords:exists(Pattern("gift.png"):similar(0.9))) then
           click("gift.png")
           click("gift2.png")
       elseif (rebellion) then
           gift = false
       end
   end
   return gift
end
--
while (true) do
   local rebellion = rebellionlabel()
   while (opencoords:exists(Pattern("open.png"))) do
       -- click(Pattern("open.png"))
       -- click(Pattern("delete.png"))

       open = findAll("open.png")
       for i, m in ipairs(open) do

           click(Pattern("open.png"), 100)
       end
       click(Pattern("deleteall.png"))
   end
   status = "ingift"
end


--REBELLION-------------------
if (rebellion) then
end

Is goto still not supported? I have different crashes on 8.3.0 trial. Compiled with Lua 5.3 compiler.

to Prince nice idea with break! I have more complex goto structure (I skip some parts of code and sometimes go back and forth with it), but will see maybe I can substitute it somehow too.

Ok I will from now use 5.1 compiler.  Is there analog that I can use instead (maybe from Sikuli) to skip parts of code?

P.S. Yep functions and breaks do the job. Maybe it even better to sub it with funcs cause it makes them transportable and more organized. You can call function from other script and etc. Onky one plus of go to that it is much wider supported in other macro script programs.

Lua isn't backward compatible. And many scripts were released in luac or luae2.
