Q: AppleScript "exists application" can't continue error -1708

I was trying to create an applescript to autosave painting in Clip Studio Paint by making it pressing cmd+s every 60 seconds.

The code is very simple

 

set isRunning to true
delay 300
    repeat while isRunning
        if (path to frontmost application) is (path to application "CLIP STUDIO PAINT") then
            tell application "CLIP STUDIO PAINT"
            tell application "System Events"
            keystroke "s" using command down
            end tell
            end tell
            delay 60
        end if
        tell application "System Events"
        if not (exists application "CLIP STUDIO PAINT") then set isRunning to false
        end tell
    end repeat

 

but when I run it, I got an error


Script Error

"CLIP STUDIO PAINT got an error: Can't continue exists"

 

Does anyone know why and does anybody know how to fix it?
