There seems to be many bad forum posts and confusion on the simple action of toggling pause and play. Here is two examples of playing and pausing shortcuts. I'm sure there may be multiple ways to do this. Or there maybe more efficient ways but this was the simple way I do it Example one: Two shortcuts that toggle Pause and Play HotKeySet("{insert}","_Pause");press insert to make $pause variable = 1 and resume actions HotKeySet("{esc}","_Play");press esc to make $pause variable = 0 $pause=1; sets varriable to 1 starting actiions in loop While 1; Loop every 500 mill seconds and check varriables Sleep(500); check variable every 500 seconds if $pause=1 Then; if $pause variable = 1 then do actions ;Do actions EndIf WEnd func _Play() $pause=0 EndFunc func _Pause() $pause=1 EndFunc Example Two: One shortcut that toggle Pause and Play HotKeySet("{insert}","_Pause");press insert to make $pause press insert again to resume $pause=1; sets varriable to 1 starting actiions in loop While 1; Loop every 500 mill seconds and check varriables Sleep(500); check variable every 500 seconds if $pause=1 Then; if $pause variable = 1 then do actions ;Do actions while $pause = 1 EndIf WEnd func _Pause() if $pause=0 then $pause=1 else $pause=0 endif EndFunc
