How can I redirect to a function that is further down in my code?

if [[ $adapter == "1" ]]; then

LINE 66 > usepreferredadapter

elif [[ $adapter == "2" ]]; then

echo -e "\e[0mI'm sorry you do not own the requirements to proceed!"
echo "Try using the adapter that's build in , into your computer (not working on Virtualbox or VMware)"
echo -e "\e[31mNote that build in adapters are over all bad for hacking!\e[0m"
echo "Script will exit!"
exit



else

echo "Invalid input!"
echo "Script will exit!"
exit


fi

LINE 89 > function usepreferredadapter(){

In line 66, I want the user to be redirected to the function in line 89, how can I do that (if it's even possible)?

In order to avoid this kind of behaviour I suggest you to put all your code in a main function, so that everything is loaded when you need it

E.G.

#!/bin/bash
main() {
  if [[ $adapter == "1" ]]; then
    usepreferredadapter
  elif [[ $adapter == "2" ]]; then
    ...
  fi
}

function usepreferredadapter(){
  ...
}

main "$@"

This way, it doesn't matter where you define your method as long you call the main method at the bottom of your script

Try shifting the function definition before the line where the function is called, i.e. shift your function definition at line #89 to some place before line #66.
