Toggle a loop

[Guest Wiseman40]

There are some repetative tasks (only mouse clicks) that I loop using an Autoit script, but the way I currently have it set up requires me to close autoit while the script is still running (challenging mousework) in order to get it to stop.

My problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to bind a key to the Exit function while the script is running.

My goal is to have a repeating cycle that can be toggled on/off using a key.

Are there any suggestions on how to do this?

Press the "End" key to stop the macro.

Global $Stopped
HotKeySet("{END}", "Stop")

While 1
   ; Your script here!
    MouseMove(10, 100)
    Sleep(500)
    MouseMove(700, 700)
WEnd

Func Stop()
    $Stopped = NOT $Stopped
    While $Stopped
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndFunc

Just look up hotkey in the help file to learn about it.
