Wrote a code with a loop and operators, but gives a syntax error?

Question

Python

Here is the code:

import pyautogui 
import time

time.sleep(5)

while True:
  if cords = pyautogui.locateCenterOnScreen('join_button.png')
  
  else: 
    pyautogui.Click(cords)

Here is the error:

Answer 1

cords = pyautogui.locateCenterOnScreen('1.png') # если объект виден, то получаем координаты x,y
if cords: # если видно, то...
    print('найдено')
else: # иначе...
    print('не найдено')

Also can be used (based on your code):

if not cord: #если нет объекта на экране
    pyautogui.click(cords)

Answer 2

You mixed up the assignment operator and the equality check

Answer 3

It even shows you with an arrow where the error is, is it really so difficult to look at the error and correct it and not go to the forum (== for comparison, = for assignment)

Answer 4

Or like this:

while True:
    if not cords := pyautogui.locateCenterOnScreen('1.png'):
        pyautogui.Click(cords)
