swstrau118 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Is there a way to make a toggle key to pause your script? I have a script that has "HotKeySet" keys that when I type in B1 (on the keyboard) it will preform a function. I want to have the ability of hitting a key (ex. TAB) and have it pause the script. This way I can type B1 which out it preforming that function. Then I can hit TAB again and it will resume the script. I have tried a few Toggle scripts and they have not worked. I looked in the Help file and saw one for PAUSE but my laptop does not have the PAUSE key. Please help! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 What have you tried so far, so we're not rehashing things that won't work for you? On the other hand, there's probably 100 different examples of ways to pause a script on here if you do a search for it. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

BrewManNH Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 The problem is that HotString isn't going to get paused from looking at the code for it, it's working just like a HotKey will, just with more options. You'd need to deregister the hotstrings as you pause the script, and then reregister them as you unpause it.

BrewManNH Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I would guess you'd do it the same way you would do it with a HotKey, set the HotString to a blank function. But you'd have to try it to see if it works as I've never used the functions before. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

swstrau118 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) I understand what the problem at the moment you are facing with _IsPressed (there is a solution though) but... I still suspect you are breaking the Forum Rules (Game Automation). Can you now please tell which application are you automating. Without a specific application automation is useless. Regards I'm a little late in this topic however, I am running into the same issue when trying to pause my script. I am only using one script and this script is using HotKeys that I can type that will remote into a computer. However, I can't get my script to pause and unpause. That way I can hit B1 on my computer and it will not do anything, if paused. If not paused it will open up a remote desktop station. Please help! Here's my code: expandcollapse popupHere is my code that I have put together: #include <HotString.au3> #include <Misc.au3> Global $Paused = False ;set var top of script HotKeySet("{ESC}", "TogglePause") ;top of script ;HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate") ;############################################################################################ ;############################################################################################ HotStringSet("{Ctrl}lod1{Left}", "LOD01") HotStringSet ("{Ctrl}l1{Left}", "LOD01") HotStringSet("{Ctrl}lod2{Left}", "LOD02") HotStringSet ("{Ctrl}l2{Left}", "LOD02") HotStringSet("{Ctrl}vn1{Left}", "VN01") HotStringSet ("{Ctrl}v1{Left}", "VN01") HotStringSet("{Ctrl}vn2{Left}", "VN02") HotStringSet ("{Ctrl}v2{Left}", "VN02") Func TogglePause() ; anywhere in script $Paused = Not $Paused ; change the state of the var While $Paused Sleep(100) WEnd EndFunc While 1 Sleep(100) WEnd Func LOD01() Run ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Radmin Viewer 3\Radmin.exe /connect:hostname:4899") EndFunc Func LOD02() Run ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Radmin Viewer 3\Radmin.exe /connect:hostname:4899") Run ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Radmin Viewer 3\Radmin.exe /connect:hostname:4899") EndFunc Func VN01() Run ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Radmin Viewer 3\Radmin.exe /connect:hostname:4899") EndFunc Func VN02() Run ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Radmin Viewer 3\Radmin.exe /connect:hostname:4899") EndFunc Here is the pause function I am trying to use: Global $Paused = False ;set var top of script HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause") ;top of script Func TogglePause() ; anywhere in script $Paused = Not $Paused ; change the state of the var While $Paused Sleep(100) WEnd EndFunc Edited August 27, 2013 by swstrau118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
