Hotkey not working

[Knee 0]

Function:

• Save color of pixel at center

• Compare a constantly updated pixel with original pixel

• Print message if original pixel is different than new one

• Exit when hotkey is pressed

Problem:

• Hot keys have no effect

• It doesn't even read the first msg box from firing the hotkey for "fire"

#include <Misc.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
$toggle = 1
$start = 1
 
HotKeySet ( "F7" , "fire" )
HotKeySet ( "F8", "On_Exit" )
 
While True
Sleep(10)
WEnd
 
Func fire()

   MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "success", "yay", 3)
   $color = PixelGetColor(@DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight / 2)

   While True
       $color1 = PixelGetColor(@DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight / 2)

       If Not $color == $color1 Then
         MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "yay", "yay", 3)
         Sleep(500)
       EndIf

       Sleep(50)

   WEnd

EndFunc
 
Func On_Exit()
   Exit
EndFunc

knee,

The format of the key is wrong for HotKeySet...see Helpfile

[Knee 0]

I've looked at the help file and some examples and they all use the same format

i.e. HotKeySet ( hotkey , function name )

Else, I'm not sure what you mean.

I've checked with other keys, they work, just not the function keys.

:s

aha, now I see it,

F7 ---> f+7 (i think)

instead of using

{F7} ---> {F7}

"{F7}"

Knee, this is the same script you are using for a game. Reported.
