{{Function
|origin = FOSE1
|summary = Jump to ("go to") a labeled position in the script previously defined by a call to Label. Execution will return to the label, simulating a loop. Be careful to provide an exit condition to avoid creating infinite loops.
|name = Goto
|returnType = void
|arguments =
  {{FunctionArgument
  |Name = labelID
  |Type = int
  |Value = 0-255
  }}
|example = int GetNextActor
set GetNextActor to 1

if SomeCondition
    GoTo GetNextActor
endif
}}
 
==Notes==
* There are 256 available slots for Labels, enabling IDs from 0 to 255 inclusively. Values outside of this range will not work.
* If using NVSE since version 4, Label/Goto should be replaced by [[While]] or [[Foreach]] in all but exceptional cases, as these are more powerful, readable and reliable. Use of Label/Goto for creating loops should be considered outdated and bad form.
