Description
- Description:
- In SQS scripts only: Go to given label. String argument is used here. Be sure to use double quotes around label name in goto. Define the label with #. Note that Labels are not case sensitive and that labels are searched for from the top of the script, so multiple occurrences of a label will only result in the top most one ever being found.

- Notes from before the conversion:
- This function works only inside of SQS script.
- The search for labels always begins at the top of the script so that if there are multiple occurrences of a label the first occurrence will always be the one found.
- Because of the searching order, it is faster to place loops which are executed often at the top of a script.
- Labels are not case sensitive.
- Loops which look something like the example below should be avoided as many of them could cause the mission to slow down:
- While it is not required to include a delay in a loop, such a loop without a delay can cause the script to slow the game down, as the loop will be executed many times before the game engine interrupts the script.
- Unless you really want the loop to execute multiple times during a frame, you should include a small delay.
- You would need to have many scripts running for this to be a significant issue.
- Deciding whether to use a script with a loop or a trigger or even a @ statement to detect a condition is a complicated matter and should be subject to experimentation.

- A goto command called within a forEach loop, will only execute a single jump to goto, once the forEach loop has finished: {goto "wait"} forEach [0,1,2,3,4]
