Pause script

[Elrond5]

How can I make so that when Leftclick is held down to pause the following script?

[jdelaney]

well, it's not 'hold' left click, but here is an option for pressing a key (you can sub in left click for page up):

$Paused = False

HotKeySet("{PGUP}", "TogglePause")

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = Not $Paused
    ToolTip('Script is "Paused"', 0, 0)
    While $Paused
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
    ToolTip('', 0, 0)
EndFunc

You can script it for a 'hold', but then you have to do a loop from key or mouse down, inside the function, and have at least a loop of some amount of time prior to doing the While loop.

 

Use: _IsPressed:

_IsPressed() will return 1 until the key is released.

Would this work?

$Paused = False


while 1 
   if _IsPressed(1) ; Left Mouse Button

   $Paused = Not $Paused

   While $Paused

      Sleep(100)

   WEnd

Exit

Endif 

WEnd

I think I'm doing something wrong

No. The syntax of your If statement is wrong.

Try this:

#include <Misc.au3>

$i = 1

$splash = SplashTextOn("meep", $i, 100, 50)

while 1

    while _IsPressed(1) ;left click

        sleep(100)

    WEnd

    $i = $i + 1

    ControlSetText($splash, "", "[CLASSNN:Static1]", $i)

WEnd
