sharrakor Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I'm writing a script to play a game for me, and the code is getting a bit long (for me). Is there a way I can, say, keep checking something with function A while function B is at work? Thanks!
Tomb Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 you can't. autoit is not multithreaded, so I suggest combining your functions into one.
Moderators Melba23 Posted January 23, 2009 Moderators Posted January 23, 2009 sharrakor, There is the possibility of using AdLib. This lets you run a specified function at regular specified intervals while your script is running. Of course, as Tomb has pointed out, you can only run one function at a time, so your main script is paused while the AdLib called function is doing its thing. But it will resume as soon as AdLib returns. Have a look in the Help file and see if AdLib might be the answer.

sharrakor Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 Thanks for the info. For languages that are multi threaded, is it difficult to do? Is C multithreaded?

xroot Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Autoit can multithread. Check Multithreading again topic. You have to set up your own message loop, au3 msg loop does not work if you want GUI stuff. I used DialogBoxIndirectParam DLL call to run 2 windows simulanteously and it works fine. You click on either window and a message comes up showing the window pointer.(handle). I would play with it, see what you get.
Zohar Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 You can write each function in a seperate AU3 file, and then run both files..
LuI Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 You can write each function in a seperate AU3 file,and then run both files..Is there any way to communicate between those 'instances' rather than using files? Global variables? Queues? Occurences?TIA!
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 3, 2009 Moderators Posted February 3, 2009 LuI, Look at this thread. It offers a way to get your 2 scripts communicating. I have played with a bit before and it worked well.
