Start and Stop at certain times with loop.

Aue · June 26, 2009

Yes, I admit I am new to this, but I really want it to work.

The script is a very simple macro scrip with a loop and some hotkeys. So far it's working great, but I want it to be timed aswell, so I don't even need to be at the computer to start and stop it. I've searched through the forum, but even with this endless flow of topics I found no straight answer to my question.

This is my code, what command would I use and where in the script would I put it?

Global $stop;the variable for start / stop, has to be declared at the beginning

Hotkeyset("{F8}","go") ;starthotkey

Hotkeyset("{F9}","stop");stophotkey

hotkeyset("{F10}","quit"); shuts the lossbot down

Func Lossbot()

While $stop > 2;starts loop

sleep(9000);9 sec delay before it starts another quick game

send("!q");start quickgame

sleep(510000);7 min delay before lossbot will leave

send("!q"); opens leave menue

send("!q") ; quits mission

sleep(5000);5 sec delay before it presses enter to exit scoretable

send("{enter}");leaves out of the scoretable

Wend;ends loop

EndFunc

while 1 ;the idling loop that the program wont close

sleep(10)

WEnd

func go() ;function to start the bot

$stop = 3 ; if stop > 2 ==> loop will be done until stop hotkey will be pressed

Lossbot()

EndFunc

func stop() ; function to stop the bot

$stop = 1;if stop < 2 ==> loop will run until the end and func lossbot will end too.

EndFunc

func quit() ;closes the lossbot, i think it speaks for itself

MsgBox(0,"","Lossbot closed")

Exit

Endfunc

Thanks -

Welcome to the AUtoIt forums Aue

Once you start your script and press F8 it will start a game then after 7 minutes it leaves the game then after 9 seconds it starts the game again so what do you need that's different? Do you mean that you want to be able to set the script to start a game at a certain time and then end the game at some other set time?

Oh right, I must have failed to make my needs clear.

I want it to start at a time, and stop at a time.

Example: Starts running the loop at 24:00 and runs the loop until 06:00 in the morning.

That more clear? ^^

Why can't you just use windows scheduled tasks app to start and stop the script?

Because I am quite sure this can be done in the autoit language, and therfor removing the need of yet another app.

what if i have sleep in the bot to wait 4 mouse clicks how would i make it so the stop button will still work

@epicfail

Please stick to your own thread.

@Aue

Take a look at @hour in the helpfile.

Edit: @rvn, codeboxes make it a lot easier to read code, especially autoit codeboxes.
