Process close/open

[chaddiablo]

Hi im trying 2 make a loop where when a certain process closes, it turns it back on after a certain amount of time.

This is as far as i got.

If ProcessClose("Game")
    Then

lol

Well, first off ProcessClose is a command to close the process, not to check if it's closed, so that line won't help you.

You'll want to check if the process is still open, instead:

ProcessExists("Game")

And loop it, so when the game is closed, autoit will know that it doesn't exist anymore, which is the same thing.

Then you can carry out whatever functions you want from there,

An example of waiting for a game to close:

Do

Sleep(1000)

Until Not(ProcessExists("Game"))

Hi,

;Set Esc key to escape the script.
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Quit") 


$Game = "notepad.exe"
$Pid = Run($Game)
$MsTime = 2000

While 1
    ProcessWaitClose($Pid)
    Sleep($MsTime)
    $Pid = Run($Game)
WEnd

Func Quit()
    ProcessClose($Pid)
    Exit
EndFunc

Use autoit's help file to work it all out.
