help a newbie with a simple script?

[mnemonic]

Hi.

trying to make a script that loops sending some keystrokes like every 30 sec or so.

to be specific I want the script to send the following keys and mouseclicks.

a 5 followed by a right mouse click

pause for 20 secs and then repeat

preferably I would like this so I can toggle the script on and off with a hotkey and maybe also that it can be incorporated in a scripf file along with other future similar macros.

Btw, I have been struggling myself with the help files etc to do this but Im not a coder. I can get it to work sortof but the loop is malfunctiong...........

Help a poor new member. Thanks

Try This:

Hotkeyset("{HOME}","start")
Hotkeyset("{END}","stop")

Func start()
$start = 0
DO
Send("{5}")
MouseClick("right")
Sleep(20000)
Until $start = 1
EndFunc

Func stop()
if $start = 0 Then
$start = 1
Else
$start = 0
Endif
EndFunc

altho I cant get it to work............. am I an idiot or does anyone see any errors in the script?

Try This:

Hotkeyset("{HOME}","start")
Hotkeyset("{END}","stop")

Func start()
$start = 0
DO
Send("{5}")
MouseClick("right")
Sleep(20000)
Until $start = 1
EndFunc

Func stop()
if $start = 0 Then
$start = 1
Else
$start = 0
Endif
EndFunc

Try

Hotkeyset("{HOME}","start")
Hotkeyset("{END}","stop")
dim $start
while 1
    sleep(100)
    WEnd
Func start()
$start = 0
DO
Send("{5}")
MouseClick("right")
Sleep(20000)
Until $start = 1
EndFunc

Func stop()
if $start = 0 Then
$start = 1
Else
$start = 0
Endif
EndFunc

You need the loop to keep the script alive.
