Jason Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) After reading and exploring around I decided to attempt to make my first script. Based on other scripts I have come across, I wrote a basic HotKetSet Script that would assign a hotkey to send key strokes. The initial problem I had was the repetitive keystrokes. After I use the hotkey it would repeatedly send the keystorkes until I terminate the script. So I figure I add a line where it would send the TogglePause right after the keystroke so it would send it once then stop. I'm just wondering if this is the proper way to do this. expandcollapse popupGlobal $Paused HotKeySet("{F9}", "TogglePause") HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate") HotKeySet("+!1", "TogglePause1");Shift-Atl-1 HotKeySet("+!d", "ShowMessage");Shift-Alt-d ;;;; Body of program would go here;;;; While 1 Sleep(100) WEnd ;;;;;;;; Func TogglePause() $Paused = NOT $Paused While $Paused Send("Test") Send("{F9}") ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0) WEnd EndFunc ;;;;;;;;; Func Terminate() Exit 0 EndFunc ;;;;;;;;; Func TogglePause1() $Paused = NOT $Paused While $Paused Send("hello") Send("{F9}") ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0) WEnd ToolTip("") EndFunc ;;;;;;;;; Func ShowMessage() MsgBox(4096,"","This is a message.") EndFunc This is my first attempt to write something :"> I appreciate all the input Edited June 1, 2006 by Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herewasplato Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 ...I'm just wondering if this is the proper way to do this...Before I could comment on that, I would need to know what "this" is. :-)What are you wanting to do with your script? Do you want your script to run/idle all of the time - waiting for you to press a key before the script does something beside idle? Or do you want it to do a series of things and then exit?

Valuater Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 no need Func TogglePause() $Paused = NOT $Paused ;While $Paused Send("Test") ;Send("{F9}") ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0) ;WEnd EndFunc will do it one time 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EndFunc Try this, the other way you had your keystrokes within the While loop and so it kept sending them over and over, this way it will only send them 1 time for each time you enter the function.

Or do you want it to do a series of things and then exit?Yes it is idle untill I use an actual hotkey, but I will terminate it myself.Thanks for the input guys I knew that ToolTip line had a purpose.
