Calling Function via Hotkey Results in Undeclared Variable

[Twisted6]

HotKeySet("^1", "Test1") ;<-- No error
HotKeySet("^2", "Test2") ;<-- Error

Func Test1()
  Test2()
EndFunc

Func Test2($aVariable = 1)
  If $aVariable = 1 Then
    Tooltip("No Error")
  EndIf
EndFunc

While True
WEnd

Is there an elegant solution to this other than having to use a second passer function?

From Help file: "The called function can not be given parameters. They will be ignored."

I realise it's not the answer to your question, but IMO you already have an elegant solution....?

Test2 doesn't require any parameters though as $aVariable is optional which is why I don't understand why it's causing an error. And yeah using a 2nd function is a solution but I wouldn't say it's elegant as it bloats the script a bit.

HotKeySet("!q", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("!s", "Test1")
HotKeySet("!z", "Test2")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Terminate()
    Msgbox(0,"", "Exit")
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

Func Test1()
  Test2()
EndFunc

Func Test2($aVariable = 1)
    If @HotKeyPressed = "!z" Then $aVariable = 1
    If $aVariable = 1 Then
        Msgbox(0,"", "its 2")
    EndIf
EndFunc

It's because you're trying to access an undeclared variable in the Test2 function. Whether it's used or not, optional or not, you're trying to run a comparison function against the variable, and as far as AutoIt is concerned, that variable doesn't exist in that function. As stated already, the variable is ignored which means that even though it's in the function parameters, AutoIt doesn't "see" it in a HotKey function.
