Python

Hello! I have a code that looks for an image and clicks on it. How to make the script wait for it to appear? And how to set the time during which it must wait, and if during this time it did not see the pixel or the picture that I set, then do another action, that is, protection from stagnation.

import pyautogui 
import cv2
import time

start = pyautogui.locateOnScreen('start.png', confidence=0.4)
pyautogui.click(start)

time.sleep(2)

startx2 = pyautogui.locateOnScreen('startx2.png', confidence=0.6)
pyautogui.click(startx2)

As an option, you need to do a function for checking the appearance of an image like this:

def check_and_click():
  try:	
    start = pyautogui.locateOnScreen('start.png', confidence=0.4)
    return True
  except:
    print('Нет картинки, либо другая ошибка')
    return False

def check_and_click2():
  try:	
    startx2 = pyautogui.locateOnScreen('startx2.png', confidence=0.6)
    return True
  except:
    print('Нет картинки, либо другая ошибка')
    return False





#Тут вызовем функцию в цикле:

while True:
  it = check_and_click()
  if it:
    pyautogui.click(start)
    print("Good!")
    time.sleep(1)
  else:
    print("Ждем 5 секунд")
    time.sleep(5)

  it2 = check_and_click2()
  if it2:
    pyautogui.click(startx2)
    print("Good!")
    time.sleep(1)
  else:
    print("Ждем 5 секунд")
    time.sleep(5)

I did not quite understand the logic of your program, but if anything, explain
