Question #146706 on Sikuli changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
BTW Sikuli speaks Python, which is much easier to learn and handle than
Java ;-)

This is the basic approach: (already looked at FAQ 1437 ?)

see comments below --X

while True: #--1

  #Search function
  while not exists(X, 0): #--2
    sleep(10)

  #Command function
  if exists(Y): #--3
    click(X)

print "Now we have left the While True: loop"

-- comments

--1 this will loop FOREVER, which is principally not good idea since you
would have to interrupt Sikuli with the abort key combination

to test it, this would go:
for i in range(10): # would loop 10 times

exists(X, 0) does not wait 3 seconds, but comes back after first try.
This easier to calculate the time.

normally you should have a conditional break somewhere in the loop, to
end it (if condition: break)

--2 this will loop until X shows up. will loop FOREVER, if X does not show up
again you could use a counting loop:

for i in range(60): # this would loop about 70 seconds 
  if exists(X, 0): break
  wait(10)

--3 exists(x) not needed - we know already it is there from the previous
while loop

here is the question, what should happen if the click fires? It will
instantly go back to #--1 as it would in the case either X or Y are not
visible.
