How to use the keyboard to break a loop when a certain condition is not met? Two conditions in one loop

Question

I'm trying to use a python code to manipulate games based on the images provided to the project. The problem is, everytime that i try to set a key to stop or break a loop that already has a possible end defined (when something happens in the game, for example), it never breaks a loop. Instead, the first condition is the only one that can break it.

I started the project on PyCharm based on some tutorials i've seen. One of the tutorials I watched to have a base of what to do was featured on the channel: "Indently". But i still without any hint to this problem. Here it is:

    # if the bot sees lava or the user press the keybind, he'll stop.
    if locate_lava() or keyboard.is_pressed('p'):
        break
    else:
        move_character('w', 2, 'attack')
        locate_mobs()

I've seen similar problems in stack overflow: Break a loop when pressing a key but none of the answers really helped. Sorry for any disrespect with Python or English, i'm not good at both languages.

Initially, as a user of Lua code and a beginner in Python, tried a bunch of codes of the Python library (bc i really didn't had any idea of what was happening). In the end, none of my trials was succed in this one project.

Not too sure why your code doesn't work, it should. Have you imported keyboard (and installed with pip)?

One method of doing it:

import keyboard

while True:
    if keyboard.read_key() == "p" or locate_lava():
        print("You pressed p or found lava")
        break
    else:
        move_character('w', 2, 'attack')
        locate_mobs()
