fluffman 0 Posted January 30, 2011 Apologies for my first post being a question but hey I can't help others yet anyways I need to put in the middle of my script a little pause function that stays paused until I have completed an action and then will probably have to click continue to continue. I only know how to use the sleep function so far. I've been reading a lot in the help file and know how helpful it is however I have not found help in it for this. I'm sure there is something for this in there but it probably needs to be pieced together from a few functions which I'm not clever enough to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

twitchyliquid64 23 Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Have you heard of a while loop? They look like this: While (condition) do something Wend The 'do something' will keep happening as long as the condition is true. For the condition you could check a variable, like 'while $x = 1' While $x=1 do functions Wend This specific statement means that it will do the functions between while $x =1 and wend, if x is equal to one. Remembering that a dollar sign symbolizes a variable/pronumeral... But you would like in your condition for it to be while the click is not pressed. So look at the _ispressed function or similar, and don't forget to prefix it with 'not' so that it loops/waits while the button is not pressed, not while it is.

fluffman 0 Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks hyperzap this really gets me somewhere! I had not head much about loops and not at all about the while loop. I will of course have to go to the help file and read about everything you mentioned though. But I have a much better idea of where I can go from here now. Ty.
