Hot Key Start

[Abaddon]

Is there any way that I can set a hot key to start my script? That would save alot of time thank you.

Have a look at this and see if you get any ideas from it.

Sorry, all I got from that was how to end a script via hot key. I am a noob, I was just looking for a simple thing like,

ctr+alt+s to start the script.

Oh and dethredic Im sorry i wasn't more specific. Here is what I want.

To start the script and enter the game.

Then when they want the script to start running press a key. Thanks

Read the editied post^^^^^^^^^^^

EDIT: Just read your edit. HotKeySet is what you are looking for.

Example just for informational purposes:

;set the hotkey
HotKeySet("{Enter}", "Start")

;activate the game window
WinActivate("Title of window")

;wait for the hotkey to be pressed
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

;take this action when the hotkey is pressed
Func Start()
    MouseMove(500, 500, 2)
EndFunc

Something similar to this should do what you are looking for.

If you don't want your script to be running, there obviously is no way for it to interpret the hotkey.

So the only way to do what i think you are asking (Correct me If I'm Wrong) is to have 2 scripts. one containing something like this,

HotkeySet("{HOME}", "Go")

While 1
Sleep(3000)
WEnd

Func go()
 Run("*Your Script*"); see run helpfile for proper syntax
EndFunc

and then have your script in a separate file.

Thanks guys. I just needed a hot key because I am going to be distributing this over the net and didn't want people to have to set shorcuts
