Ending a function with a hotkey?

[Ices]

I have several functions within a script that I'm trying to call on hotkeys. The problem with these functions is they have serveral Do Untils and While Wends within them. Is there a way to force the function to end prematurely with a hotkey? I tried setting a function to a hotkey and the $var = Not $var thing, but it won't end until the Do untils finish.

Possible to test using _IsPressed () or even using AdLib loops.

Your probably calling other functions that take time to return onto the next line of the Do/Until-While/WEnd, so you see the delay in kill time.

You might think of having a global kill variable. Then in these other functions/loops check the value of it (kind of like inputting debug code, you'll be using it alot).

Pseudo code may look like:

Global $f_stop_functions = False
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Kill_Functions")

While 1
    Sleep(100000)
WEnd

Func _Kill_Functions()
    $f_stop_functions = Not $f_stop_functions
EndFunc

Func _SomeFunction()
    If Not $f_stop_functions Then Return
    While 1
        Sleep(10)
        If Not $f_stop_functions Then Return
        ;Do Something
        Do
            Sleep(10)
            ;Do something
            If Not $f_stop_functions Then Return
        Until $other_condition = $something
    WEnd
EndFunc
