Newb 5 Posted December 5, 2010 Hi, I'm doing a script that automatizes some file saving processes with a rendering program. Since there are predefined times in the rendering elaboration the click times are fine like they are in my script. But sometimes they take a little longer so i would like to pause with an hotkey the script. I know it can be made with Sleep() command. But I would like to know how I can pause the script without starting the re-execution all over. When I pause the script it's fine, but when I unpause it, it restarts all over, I need to know how I can do some sort of checkpoint so when it unpauses it starts back from where it was interrupted. This is the sourcecode: expandcollapse popupHotKeySet("{F2}","Chiudere") HotKeySet("{F3}","StartStop") $dd=False While 1 Sleep (10) WEnd Func StartStop() $dd= Not $dd If $dd=True Then On() Else Off() EndIf EndFunc Func On() While 1 Sleep(1000) MouseClick("right",335,374) Sleep(120000) MouseClick("right",401,545) Sleep(120000) MouseClick("right",230,552) Sleep(120000) Mouseclick("right",236,442) Sleep(120000) Wend EndFunc Func Off() While 1 Sleep (10) WEnd EndFunc Func Chiudere() Exit EndFunc Thanks for your time.

somdcomputerguy 103 Posted December 5, 2010 See the example here, HotKeySet. When a script is paused this way, it'll pick up where it was before the pause. Here's another example, just use the 'pause' hotkey after starting the script, and before it ends:Global $Paused HotKeySet("^p", "TogglePause") ; ^p = CTRL + P While 1 For $i = 1 to 10 ConsoleWrite($i & " ") Sleep(500) Next ConsoleWrite("- All Done!" & @LF) Exit WEnd Func TogglePause() $Paused = NOT $Paused While $Paused sleep(100) ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0) WEnd ToolTip("") EndFunc - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

somdcomputerguy 103 Posted December 5, 2010 Ya that code is mostly a copy/paste from the Helpfile for HotKeySet, I just added a simple counter so one can see the 'pause effect'. - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
