Help with Looping

[aznkid]

I'm currently new to autoit and scripting. I've looked around the forums to see if I can find a solution to my problem, but I don't really understand what people posted.

Im trying to make a bot for a game, pressing C, F5 through F8 then F1 for X Minutes.

I've managed to make:

Sleep(5000)
While 1=1
    Send("C")
    Sleep(7500)
    Send("{F5}")
    Sleep(1200)
    Send("{F6}")
    Sleep(1200)
    Send("{F7}")
    Sleep(1200)
    Send("{F8}")
    Sleep(1200)
Do
$start = TimerInit()
    Send("{F1}")
Until TimerDiff($start) = 300000
Wend

This works, but the problem is that after it starts to hit F1, it doesn't repeat itself.

Any solution would be helpful.

Thanks in advanced.

didnt quite understood what you meant pressing it for X minutes, you mean keeping it pressed or pressing F1 every X minutes?

EDIT: added some things, to make it more friendly

EDIT2: Welcome to AutoIt!

Ah Thanks for the welcome and the script. =D It works fine, however, is there a way to make the script press "F1" constantly for an amount of time rather then looping for an [#] amount of times (thats what I meant by "F1 for X Minutes", sorry I wasn't clear), then reloop the whole thing? I was thinking of adding a code to press the hotkey to start again, but not sure where to place it.

Check out TimerInit and TimerDiff in the Helpfile. Pretty sure thats what your after.

The following example just moves the mouse back and forth for 5 seconds.

$begin = TimerInit()
$timeToDoIt = 5000 ;time in Milliseconds to run for

Do
    ;actions to do
    MouseMove(50, 100, 5)
    MouseMove(500, 100, 5)
    $dif = TimerDiff($begin)
Until $dif >= $timeToDoIt

Use your original do/until loop to time it, but change your exit condition to >= rather than =.

From the AutoIt help file for Send

To hold a key down (generally only useful for games)

Send("{a down}") ;Holds the A key down

Send("{a up}") ;Releases the A key

    Sleep(7500)
    Send("{F5}")
    Sleep(1200)
    Send("{F6}")
    Sleep(1200)
    Send("{F7}")
    Sleep(1200)
    Send("{F8}")
    Sleep(1200)
$start = TimerInit()
$dif = "60000"
Do
    Send("{F1}")
    sleep(50)
Until $dif <= TimerDiff($start)
Wend

I havent used TimerInit before but I think the $Start needs to be before your loop ?

Well, this is what I managed to come up with everyones help.

HotKeySet("{F10}", "_start")
HotKeySet("{F11}", "_pause")
HotKeySet("+{F11}", "_exit")

While 1
    sleep(10)
WEnd
Func _start()
while 1
Send("C")
Sleep(7500)
Send("{F5}")
Sleep(1500)
Send("{F6}")
Sleep(1500)
Send("{F7}")
Sleep(1500)
Send("{F8}")
Sleep(1500)
Send("{F9}")
Sleep(1700)
$start = TimerInit()
$dif = "300000"
Do
Send("{F1}")
Until $dif <= TimerDiff($start)

WEnd
EndFunc
Func_pause()
Sleep(10)
EndFunc

Func_exit()
Exit
EndFunc

It works fine. Thanks for your help.
