HotkeySet remembers amount pressed and skips sleep (i think)

[Aapjuh]

Hi all,

Situation:

Im trying to make a gui move to the right with HotKeySet("{d}", "_Right") which goes to func _Right().

The _Right() func does a sleep(1000) and then a winmove to currentcoord + 5

Problem:

If i press 'd' once, it waits 1sec and then moves the gui by 5.

if i press 'd' 3x in a row, it waits 1sec then moves the gui by 15

what i want is if i press 'd' 3x in a row it waits 1sec moves 5 waits 1sec moves 5 etc etc.

is there a delay option for hotkeyset? or what am i doing wrong?

thnx in advance,

Aapjuh

;gui stuff etc not rly needed;
HotKeySet("{d}", "_Right")
Func _Right()
Sleep(1000)
$BoxPos1 = $BoxPos1 + 5
Winmove($Box, "", $BoxPos1, $BoxPos2)
EndFunc

If you want it so that the hotkey isn't active when you're script is sleeping, you need to unregister the hotkey as you enter the function and then reregister it as you leave it. This way the script won't pay any attention to your hotkey presses.

added: HotKeySet("{d}", "_Nothing")

;gui stuff etc not rly needed;
HotKeySet("{d}", "_Right")
Func _Right()
HotKeySet("{d}", "_Nothing")
Sleep(1000)
$BoxPos1 = $BoxPos1 + 5
Winmove($Box, "", $BoxPos1, $BoxPos2)
HotKeySet("{d}", "_Right")
EndFunc
Func _Nothing()
sleep(100)
EndFunc

If you want to unregister a hotkey, just use HotKeySet("d") and then just set it back to what it was before, no need for a dummy function to handle it. Also, you don't need the braces around a hotkey unless it's a special key like ESC or the Windows key.

hehe thnx taking out the dummy funcion has fixed the 2nd problem i was about to reply about

(with dummy func i wasn't able to hold the key down for repeated moves)

thnx alot
