How to execute a series of functions based on GUI button clicks

[notsacc]

Hi, I'm new to AutoIt and I've been trying to write a simple script but I'm an idiot when it comes to this as I've never written any code before and have no background.
 
At work, I have to interface with this piece of crap program and want to automate text entries and button clicks using a simple GUI.
I need to be able to hit a series of hotkeys (or click the GUI buttons) and, when I'm ready, hit a button or final hotkey which will execute the clicks and text sends. 
The number of buttons I click varies, sometimes 2, sometimes 10.  What I had envisioned was to hotkey each button, and each hotkey was linked to a simple function that 
would move the mouse around and enter the text I need to enter.  What happens now is that once the GUI launches, as soon as I hit the button or hotkey, it executes. I
need it to queue up several buttons then execute them sequentially in the order I have pressed them but I'm far too stupid to figure out how to do this without some help.
 
Once you've seen the really basic, redundant, (probably broken?) code I've written below you'll understand what you're dealing with, but thanks in advance for the help.

;Need code that records the buttons clicks from above, in the order that they are pressed, then after the user hits the Write button, executes the Functions(mouseclicks and text sends) corresponding to those buttons.
;the user may not hit all the buttons every time, just maybe 2, then clicks write, 4 then clicks write

Sounds like a potential timing nightmare...and even more so peculiar with the names you used in your example.
 

So, you need a queuing mechanism.  One way would be to create an array with the "sequence" then enumerate through the array and execute each function.
 

You could easily create an array by creating a string and appending to it (using a separator for each entry) and then using StringSplit to generate the array.  You could then use the Call function to run each function in the sequence. 

As an example...

$sSequence = "_Chick|_Toast|"
$aSequence = StringSplit($sSequence, "|")
For $sFunc In $aSequence
   Call($sFunc)
Next
Func _Chick()
   ConsoleWrite("_Chick" & @CRLF)
EndFunc
Func _Toast()
   ConsoleWrite("_Toast" & @CRLF)
EndFunc

This is just a quick and dirty way, but I figured it would give you some ideas.
