Conditional Break from Inf Loop

[Guest OnlyFox]

Im trying to write a simple mouse double click macro that loops infinitely until told to stop by user input.

Its been years since I have done any type of programing and that was with plain straight C (oh, and I wasnt very good then)

Basicaly what i have so far:

If <condition> Then

MouseClick("left",x,y,2)

MouseClick("left",x,y,2)

MouseClick("left",x,y,2)

Else Exit

EndIf

now the question is how do i make the condition such that it looks for a specific key stroke to end the macro... and is the "Else Exit" correct syntax to end the macro?

Any help would be appreciated

I may have found my own answer, but would like someone to eyeball it to confirm before I try to run it.. Nothing like ending up in a loop that causes you to have to hard stop your system.

Global $Paused

HotKeySet("{PAUSE)", "TogglePause")

HotKeySEt("{ESC}", "Terminate")

;;;;;;;;;

Do

MouseClick("left",x,y,2)

MouseClick("left",x,y,2)

MouseClick("left",x,y,2)

Until $Paused = 1

;;;;;;;;;;

While 1

Sleep (1000)

WEnd

;;;;;;;;;;;

Func TogglePaus{}

$Paused = NOT $Paused

While $Paaused

Sleep(1000)

WEnd

EndFunc

;;;;;;;;;;;

Func Terminate{}

Exit 0

EndFunc

looks a bit messed up, I would put in more qualifiers if using it, and also I assume you are using more than one location in the repeated mouseclicks. Also you misspelled Paaused so you will get an error with the variable

also you have a lot of code issues:

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySEt("{ESC}", "Terminate")
;;;;;;;;;
Do
MouseClick("left",10,10,2); if same location, just mouseclick 6 times
MouseClick("left",10,10,2)
MouseClick("left",10,10,2)
; sugestion
; if winactive("My program","") then MouseClick("left",10,10,6)
sleep(100); I would think you would like some pause.
Until $Paused = 1
;;;;;;;;;;
; this section does nothing as you will never have $Paused=1 with your curent code
While 1
Sleep (1000)
WEnd
;;;;;;;;;;;
Func TogglePause()
$Paused = NOT $Paused
While $Paused
Sleep(1000)
WEnd
EndFunc
;;;;;;;;;;;
Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc

Thanks for the responce. It will double click 3 diff spots thats why i didnt bother with the x,y coords since thats easy to figure out. I will most likely just rip out the the "paused" portions since i dont really need it. From what I can tell you are in aggrement the the "exit" portions will work and that is what is important.

I pulled that code (aside from my mouse clicks) from the AutoItV3 help file under the Hotkeys issue. But I proly misinterpreted the code that was placed there.

Ill try running this now and let you know how it works.
