Start and Stop won't work

[Moonlit]

Hi All,

I have tried and errored a lot by reading both the forums and the help file but one part of my script is refusing to work the way I want...
It want to start and stop with F-keys but only the starting part works.

So something must be wrong but I can't figure it out.
Starting works, exit works but a plain stop just won't.

I'm using the function keys:

HotKeySet("{F9}", "_start")
HotKeySet("^{F9}", "_start")

HotKeySet("{F10}", "_stop")
HotKeySet("^{F10}", "_stop")

HotKeySet("{F11}", "_exit")
HotKeySet("^{F11}", "_exit")

And added:

$run = True

while 1
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

Func _stop()
    $run = False
EndFunc

So something must be wrong here but I just can't find it...

The whole script (with the extensive commands removed) is like this:

 

; HOTKEYS ----------------------

HotKeySet("{F9}", "_start")
HotKeySet("^{F9}", "_start")

HotKeySet("{F10}", "_stop")
HotKeySet("^{F10}", "_stop")

HotKeySet("{F11}", "_exit")
HotKeySet("^{F11}", "_exit")

; EINDE HOTKEYS ----------------------

$run = True

while 1
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

; STOP SCRIPT ----------------------
Func _stop()
    $run = False
EndFunc

; START SCRIPT ----------------------
Func _start()
    $run = True
    while $run
       MouseClick("left",3620,1870,2)
    WEnd
 EndFunc

; EINDE SCRIPT ----------------------
Func _exit()
    Exit 1
EndFunc

If anyone can point me in the direction of the error I would be very happy or if there is a better way to start/stop please let me know.

Here you go:

expandcollapse popup

; HOTKEYS ----------------------

HotKeySet("{F9}", "_start")
HotKeySet("^{F9}", "_start")

HotKeySet("{F10}", "_stop")
HotKeySet("^{F10}", "_stop")

HotKeySet("{F11}", "_exit")
HotKeySet("^{F11}", "_exit")

; EINDE HOTKEYS ----------------------

$run = True

while 1
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

; STOP SCRIPT ----------------------
Func _stop()
    $run = False
    while $run
       MouseClick("left",27, 1060,2)
    WEnd
EndFunc

; START SCRIPT ----------------------
Func _start()
    $run = True
    while $run
       MouseClick("left",3620,1870,2)
    WEnd
 EndFunc

; EINDE SCRIPT ----------------------
Func _exit()
    Exit 1
EndFunc

Thanks a lot!!

I didn't think about using run false to pause the script...

It's fixed now, once again thanks for your help
