Saving a value multiple times, and using it in a different function

[pwnt]

Ok, I am having a problem here, I have a script that I'm working on that is gonna record mousepos with the click of a button. When I click the button, Autoit will save the value with mousegetpos, If i click the button multiple times I want the mouse positions to be saved in a "bin" where I can access them later in a different function.

Something like this I was thinking...

HotKeySet( "{f8}","record")
HotKeySet("{F5}","Start")


while 1 
    sleep(10)
WEnd

func record()
;trying to make the record values go up in value every time i click so I can use it multiple times in a row. 
;trying to use a mathematical function that adds +1 to the function every time, like: first time record1, second record2, record 3
    
    $record1+1= MouseGetPos()
;will that +1 work?
; and now I want to save the value it just got in a "bin" so I can use it later in other functions
    SAVING SCRIPT HERE -.-..-.-.-.-.-.-..-..-
EndFunc


func start()
    while 1
        mousemove($record1+1[0],$record1+1[1],50)
    ;does this check if there is a function called
        if $record2+1 = False
            then;gonna go to another value no need to have it here
        EndIf
    WEnd
EndFunc

so, most importantly, will that +1 work after functions to make the func be called record2 and next time record3 ETC.

and how do you save the values to a bin so you can access them later in a different function.

You'll most likely want to use an Array. Example:

#include <Array.au3> ; Only necessary for easy display using _ArrayDisplay below

Dim $array[10]

For $x = 0 To UBound ($array)-1
    $array[$x] = $x
Next

_ArrayDisplay($array) ; Only necessary for easily displaying the results, you can use a For...Next Loop identical to the one above to read back through them.

*Edit - You can also dynamically increase your array size using ReDim

Ok, I've been trying to learn arrays for a while now, I understand it atleast decently, but when it comes to mousepos, I can't use the [0], and [1], after the $array[2] for example.

Atleast it solved one of my problems, the global functions, thanks for that.

So got any ideas? been searching around for about an hour now, just cant find it.

Thanks in advance

Anyone got a solution? (bump)

there ya go

#include<misc.au3>
#include<array.au3>
dim $array[1]

Do
    
    if _ispressed("01") Then
        while _IsPressed("01") 
            sleep(50)
        WEnd
        
        $ms=MouseGetPos()
        _ArrayAdd($array,$ms[0]&","&$ms[1])
    
    EndIf
until _ispressed("1b");press escape to quit

_ArrayDisplay($array)
