Exiting Loop

[stuckors]

I have made a loop to press 7 and click until i tell it to stop. Problem is I can't figure out how to tell it to exit loop. I use PgDn key to start it and want PgUp key to end it. Help please.

try using ExitLoop, and post the code you are using here, so we can see what you already have done, and then go on from there

; Press pgup to terminate script, Pause/Break to "pause"

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{PgUp}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("{PgDn}", "Start")  ;Shift-Alt-d

;;;; Body of program would go here ;;;;
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
;;;;;;;;

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Func Start()
While 1
;do whatever
Wend
EndFunc

I have everything else good except this part. (I want it to exit the loop when i press PgUp)

Case $msg = $start
      Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{Pgdn}","start")  
GUISetState(@SW_Hide)
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
Func start() 
[b]While 1
    Send ("7")
    MouseClick ("left")
WEnd [/b] 
EndFunc 
EndSelect

I have a gui with some buttons so i can put multiple options in 1 script.

Use the 'terminate' function that was in my above script

Problem is i don't want the script to close, just to exit loop with PgUp.

then replace the "{pause}" thing and then you can toggle it on and off with one key

like this

Global $Paused = true
HotKeySet("{PgUp}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")


;;;; Body of program would go here ;;;;
While 1
    ;Do Whatever
WEnd
;;;;;;;;

Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc
