Had a long break. Need some help.

First off, wow, my name is cocky, I dunno why it isn't my normal alias, anyone know where to change it?

Second, why doesn't this script work? :/

If you mean you would like to have something like

$word[5] = "_function5"

then that is difficult in AutoIt. It would be easier to have something like

func message_box()
    $random = random(1,5,1)
    msgbox(0,"Word of Wisdom",MyWord($random))
EndFunc

Func MyWord($iw)
 switch $iw
  Case 1 to 4
    Return  $word[$iw]
  Case 5
   Return _Function5()
.
.
.
 EndSwicth

endfunc

this is a tricky one

try to use something other than F12 as your hotkey, i recall reading something like F12 is reserved for something else.

not sure tho

You're right tapeworm09, from the help

F12 It is also reserved by Windows, according to its API.

$lastword is only set in the function message_box. Since it is not declared as a global variable send_to_keyboard has no knowledge of it. The cure is simply to add

Global $last_word

in your main script.

Would be a good idea to add a sleep(20) say in your do/until loop to reduce CPU usage.

Ah thanks.

In school I've spent like...half a year doing true basic programming(It's a horrible language if you didn't know) & it doesn't need them to be done like that.

Ed:

My F-Secure Anti Virus won't let me compile it now...help?

Ed2:

It works
