100% cpu?

[xcxooxl]

i made a short script to quick close of a game im playing

this is the code

but when im running it, it takes most of the cpu

why is that ?

while 1
If ProcessExists("game.exe")Then
    HotKeySet("q", "quit")
EndIF
wend

Func quit()
    ProcessClose ( "game.exe" )
EndFunc

Add Sleep(1) in your while loop

That's because of the loop. If it has to check if that process exist every loop, it'll take the CPU to 100%. You fix that by adding a Sleep.

while 1
Sleep(100)
If ProcessExists("game.exe")Then
    HotKeySet("q", "quit")
EndIF
wend

Func quit2()
    ProcessClose ( "game.exe" )
EndFunc

There is a better way to do this.

HotKeySet("{F2}", "HotKeyFunc")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "HotKeyFunc")

While 1
    Sleep(60000)
    ; Script part
WEnd

Func HotKeyFunc()
    If WinActive("") Then; Set the window
        Switch @HotKeyPressed
            Case "{F2}"
                ;;;
            Case "{ESC}"
                Exit
        EndSwitch
    Else
        HotKeySet(@HotKeyPressed)
        Send(@HotKeyPressed)
        HotKeySet(@HotKeyPressed, "HotKeyFunc")
    EndIf
EndFunc

Interesting...Something new for me

Hey, that is very interesting... I still can't figure out how to detect if the user has pressed any key though...

[Bert]

why do you need to know that?

[Nahuel]

Well, I was trying to make a very simple text editor. The thing is that I wanted the 'save' button to be disabled when you just open the editor. But it would be enabled once you type something in.

Now that I think about it, I suppose there are other ways, haha. But how bout a screensaver?
