IsPressed Pause function?

[shshsh]

Hello,

I'm trying to add a portion to my script that will pause the entire thing, but only when certain keys are held down(alt,ctrl or shift)

Func Pause()
    While 1
    If _IsPressed("12", $dll)) Then
        While _IsPressed("12", $dll)
            Sleep(50)
        WEnd
    EndIf
WEnd
EndFunc

however pressing alt(12) doesn't stop the script from sending keys when it finds the color

 

my entire script if it helps

expandcollapse popup

#include <WinAPIEx.au3>
If WinExists(@ScriptName) Then Exit
AutoItWinSetTitle(@ScriptName)
Global $Paused, $counter = 0
HotKeySet("{F4}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{F5}", "Terminate")
Opt("SendCapslockMode",0)
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

Shoot()

Func Shoot()
   While 1
   Local $coord = PixelSearch(1040, 781, 1036, 751,0xff00f8,1,1)
      If Not @error Then
         Send("e")
         Sleep(Random(40, 50, 1))
      EndIf
   WEnd
EndFunc

Func Pause()
    While 1
    If _IsPressed("12", $dll)) Then
        While _IsPressed("12", $dll)
            Sleep(50)
        WEnd
    EndIf
WEnd
EndFunc

Func TogglePause()
      $Paused = NOT $Paused
      While $Paused
      sleep(100)
      Tooltip("Paused Paused Paused Paused Paused Paused Paused Paused ",0,0)    
   WEnd
      Tooltip("")    
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
   Exit 0
EndFunc

I'm asking for it to pause the script when I'm pressing. What you "added" is already in the script I linked

Hit F4 to pause the script

Can you please tell us which program you try to automate? PixelSearch and Send are not very reliable as they depend on screen size and resesolution, window position etc.
Most of the time there are more reliable ways to do what you want to do.

[shshsh]

I'll try to explain. I'm searching for that color in a small area, at all times. I want it to press E repeatedly whenever that color is found, but I want the script to stop sending E if I'm HOLDING down alt, shift or control. The reason for this is when I'm sending E and I try to alt tab to another window it won't let me until the color is gone.

 

I need a temporary pause in my script that is triggered only when Ctrl, Shift or Alt is held down. In AHK you can do this with

~*alt::
Suspend, On
while GetKeyState("alt", "P")
    Sleep, 1
Suspend, Off
return

I'm looking for something similiar with Autoit.

shshsh,

So if you can do it in AHK, why do you need to do it in AutoIt?

AHK's pixelsearch is terrible and doesn't work at all in the way that Autoits does

Sorry for double post..

I've also tried

_WinAPI_GetAsyncKeyState and can't get it to work either.

No ideas?
