ExitLoop via hotkey

[madsquare]

thats the script - the plan is to press a key combo, then wait 4.7seconds and press the next. $control is changed from 0 to 1 with a hotkey (and is reset with another.

so far it works that the script will pause at the end. but i want to pause to able to pause it within the key-combo-rotation.

func twister () 
    Do
        Send("+8")
        sleep(4700)
        
        send("+9")
        sleep(4700)
        
        send("+0")
        sleep(4700)

    Until $control = 1
EndFunc

well i tried some things like

if $control = 1 Then
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
        Send("+8")
        sleep(4700)

but all it does is bringing an error.

---

also i have another problem. the hotkeys are f6-f8 and when i activate the cript (f6) it also presses other keys like " T ", no clue why.

thanks for your help, Square.

You need to tell us what error you got or how can we help? I can only guess that you added the exitloop without being inside a loop. You also should make it exit if $control is 1 even if it is in a sleep.

You could have something like this which I haven't tested.

Func twister()
    Local $sequence[3] = ["+8", "+9", "+0"], $is
    Do
        For $is = 0 To 2
            If _WSend($sequence[$is], 4700) Then Return
        Next

    Until $control = 1
EndFunc   ;==>twister

Func _WSend($sS, $iT)
    Local $begin = TimerInit()
    Send($sS)
    While TimerDiff($begin) < $iT
        If $control Then Return 1
        Sleep(5)
    WEnd
    Return $control
EndFunc   ;==>_WSend
