IcantCodeHelp 0 Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Here's my first actual script I made my next step is making it into a GUI Global $start HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Start_Up") HotKeySet("{1}", "Stop_Now") While 1 if $start==True Then Send("Start and Stop works") Sleep(1000) EndIf ToolTip("") Sleep ("") WEnd Func Start_Up() $start = True ;Return $start EndFunc Func Stop_Now() $start = False EndFunc Its really simple hopefully it helps on lookers Edited December 31, 2020 by Melba23 Added code tags Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melba23 3,396 Posted December 31, 2020 IcantCodeHelp, When you post code in future please use Code tags - see here how to do it. Then you get a scrolling box and syntax colouring as you can see above now I have added the tags. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
