Run a Func once and do not allow it to be accessed until complete

[Mazdryk]

I have a hotkey that runs a function for me that takes around 1 second to finish.  The problem is that I like to spam my hotkey and the func gets lagged and back logged and trys to run many instances at once.  How can I press a hotkey for a func and not allow that hotkey to run the func again until its first run is over?

HotkeySet("x", "_HotFunc")

Func _HotFunc()
    HotkeySet("x")
    ;do stuff
    HotkeySet("x", "_HotFunc")
EndFunc

[Mazdryk]

HotkeySet("x", "_HotFunc")

Func _HotFunc()
    HotkeySet("x")
    ;do stuff
    HotkeySet("x", "_HotFunc")
EndFunc

Doesn't work; it still allows me to run the function and the hotkey is still active and can be spammed.

Well I guess a simple solution would be to not spam the hotkey.

Don't understand, so what about showing some code that has this problem!

Here is some code that demonstrates you can only run the Func one time and pressing the x constantly doesn't influence the execution of _HotFunc

hotkeySet("x", "_HotFunc")
hotkeySet("{END}", "_EndFunc")
While 1
    Sleep(50)
WEnd
;
Func _HotFunc()
    HotkeySet("x", "_DummyFunc")
    ConsoleWrite("Start _HotFunc():")
    For $x = 1 To 100
        ConsoleWrite(".")
        Sleep(10)
    Next
    ConsoleWrite("End _HotFunc()" & @CRLF)
    HotkeySet("x", "_HotFunc")
EndFunc
Func _DummyFunc()
    Return
EndFunc
;
Func _EndFunc()
    Exit
EndFunc
