Hotkeyset not working properly

[EmilyLove]

I can set multiple hotkeys to a single function and it works on the first hotkey I press only. If I try to use one of the other bound hotkeys to activate the same function afterwards, it fails. Using the same key still works tho. I'm unsure how to fix this, since autoit is telling me there is no error. I want to get all the hotkeys working properly. It may also help if I knew what Hotkeyset does scriptwise (like its source code) so I can see myself what im doing wrong.

The function called disables the hotkeys temporarily, does some work, and re-enables the hotkeys as the function ends. Hotkeys are set from a HotkeysOff() and HotkeysOn() functions to disable and enable the hotkeys.

Behaviorally, it acts like the keys are bound to the function, as pressing them in a notepad results in no characters typed, as intended, however the function does not get executed. I went to Tools>add Trace lines to see if any of my lines were giving me an error code. They weren't, all Error = 0. I noticed in the trace that when I press a different hotkey than what I pressed the first time, nothing happens, at all, despite it being bounded to a function(as noted above). It just continues running the Idle() while 1 sleep function I got going and pretends I never pressed the hotkey. 

Its like autoit knows the key is bound to a function, but doesn't know which one.

forgot to note hotkeys are disabled on function call and enabled as it ends.

Do you have a reproducer code?

[EmilyLove]

I cannot provide the actually code. If I did, I would be violating the nondisclosure agreement I signed with my client. I spoke with my client and I can, however, show you a cleaned up version. For some reason, the cleaned up code does not have any issues. The only changes I made to the clean version was rename the variables and functions I defined.

I just noticed The NDA Code I cannot release fails to respond to Ctrl+Break after the second hotkey is used. Stranger yet, even when its in this state, I can still press the first hotkey that I pressed and it works fine, but not the second hotkey still does not work. Its literally like autoit is forgetting which function the keys are bound to after the first hotkey is pressed.

Additional info discovered.

So this script does not reproduce the problem?

It works just fine for me. Win 7 32, latest release AutoIt.

[EmilyLove]

Correct. Im not entirely sure why this cleaned-up version, which has just had its variables renamed and slimmed down, works fine, yet the other doesn't. Is there a limit to how many HotKeySet() you can have at once? The project I required it for needs exactly 10 HotKeySet() simultaneously.

[JohnOne]

Don't know about a limit, but I've had way more than 10.

I think you can safely derive that your problem lies elsewhere from HotKeySet.

[EmilyLove]

Solved. Big thanks for taking time out of your life to help me. Was an issue with part of the NDA code that I finally fixed. Basically an error in If then Logic and Operator Orders
