Hotkeysethelp.

Well here is my issue.. when I try to use space key to activate the section of the script its suppose to it doesnt, and whenI use a different key to do the same thing, it does.

I believe it is because the two keys interfere with each other, is there a way to fix this?

For example this doesnt work:

; 

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{SPACE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{END}", "Terminate")



While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd


Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(1)
Send("{SPACE}")
      
    WEnd
   
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

This does work:

;

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{INSERT}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{END}", "Terminate")


While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd


Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(1)
Send("{SPACE}")
      
    WEnd
   
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

[/dev/null]

is there a way to fix this?

yes, use another key than SPACE for the hotkey! BTW: You should rethink your code. Once you are in the while loop, you will never get out again! Is that what you want?

Hi,

you are calling the func in the func! Space --> leads to Send space which calls the func again!

So long,

Ahh, talk about a brain skip! Anyways, so basically theres no way to get past it other then using another key?

Well you can do it like this

Global $Paused = True
HotKeySet("{SPACE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{END}", "Terminate")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd    

Func TogglePause()
    HotKeySet("{SPACE}")    
    While $Paused
        sleep(1)
        Send("{SPACE}")      
    WEnd
EndFunc

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Though you won't be able to pause it with space now
