 Post subject: Help with Break command

Hello I want to interuppt the loop of my script based on a key command.
So lets say if I press "P" it pauses the loop, if I press "P" again it continues
looping.

The whole Program looks like this:

Code:
#NoEnv

F4::
MsgBox, 1,, Start VideoControl (Cancel to stop)
IfMsgBox OK
    MsgBox Launching VideoControl Monitoring
    run iexplore
    Sleep, 10000
    Send, username{TAB}
    Send, password{ENTER} ; Auto Login Sequence
    Sleep, 6000
    Click 63, 240
    Sleep, 60000 ; Thumbview actualizing time

loop
{
Sleep, 60000
Click 855, 955
Sleep, 60000
Click 825, 955
}


The last part, the loop is looping 24/7 except if I need to make a config change on that PC or Site, so I really would like a pause/play function.
could you guys give me some hints in how this would go best?

Thank you all for your time for reading and helping me :wink:

P.S: I thought at something like this


Code:
loop
{
    if {P}
        break
    Click
    Sleep, 5000
    Click
    Sleep, 5000
}

How can a repeating action be stopped without exiting the script? AutoHotkey FAQ

Look at this:
Code:
Loop,
{
ToolTip, % "Key State is " keyState := GetKeyState("P", "")
   If keyState = 1
   {
   ToolTip
   Break
   }
}

This will stop the loop if P is pressed.

Here it is adapted:
Code:
Loop,
{
    Click
    Sleep, 5000
    Click
    Sleep, 5000
      If keyState := GetKeyState("P", "")
      Break
}
Return

TLM, your code doesn't really work.
Here's a working (tested) approach:
Code:
Loop
{
  Click
  If KeyWasPressed("P",5000)
    Break  ;  or Return
}
Return

KeyWasPressed(key,time)
{
  start := A_TickCount
  Loop
  {
    If GetKeyState(key)
      return 1  ;  true (key was pressed)
    If ( A_TickCount - start >= time )
      return 0  ;  false (timed out)
  }
}

:oops: Yea I kinda figured the sleep would get in the way after the fact.
I should have added a key state condition as a workaround.

On a side not, I try to never use sleep ;).

First of all thank you guys for your time :wink:

@MasterFocus, I tried to implement your code but it seems like I horribly
fail at this. My pc shutted down 3 times now. Could you please give me a
hint in where to put my loop in your code?

Code:
loop
{
Sleep, 60000
Click 855, 955
Sleep, 60000
Click 825, 955
}


Greetings,

You would have to use
Click 855, 955 instead of Click
and 60000 instead of 5000.
Code:
Loop  ;  this is the loop you want
{
  Click  ;  add/change coordinates as desired

; the following line calls the function I created, which
; will act like "Sleep, 5000" and break the loop if "P"
; is pressed - you may change the values as desired

  If KeyWasPressed("P",5000)
    Break
}
Return

;-----------------------------------------------
; add the following function to the bottom of your script
; so it can be called from inside that loop

KeyWasPressed(key,time)
{
  start := A_TickCount
  Loop
  {
    If GetKeyState(key)
      return 1  ;  true (key was pressed)
    If ( A_TickCount - start >= time )
      return 0  ;  false (timed out)
  }
}

Ok it seems much clearer now, at least the first part of your code :D
I tested it now and it interuppts the loop, unfortunately it closes the script
too at the moment which is surely because I didnt understand something
with the 2nd part.

So actually I have this input:

Code:
Loop
{
  Click 855, 955 ; Site 2
  If KeyWasPressed("P",10000)
    Break
  Click 825, 955 ; Site 1
  If KeyWasPressed("P",10000)
    Break
}
Return

KeyWasPressed(key,time)
{
  start := A_TickCount
  Loop
  {
    If GetKeyState(key)
      return 1  ;  true (key was pressed)
    If ( A_TickCount - start >= time )
      return 0  ;  false (timed out)
  }
}


Do I have to input data in those (key) (key was pressed) etc. fields?
(I tried to input data in here but I think I dit not gave the correct paramaters)

As I understood, you would like the loop to pause, not break, right?
Try this:
Code:
Loop
{
  Click 855, 955 ; Site 2
  Sleep, 10000
  SleepKey(pause)
  Click 825, 955 ; Site 1
  Sleep, 10000
  SleepKey(pause)
}
Return

~p::pause := !pause

SleepKey(ByRef pause){
   While % (pause){
      Sleep, 100
   }
}

Thank you man works perfectly fine :wink:

To improve myself I would really like to understand this part of the code
Code:
SleepKey(ByRef pause){
   While % (pause){
      Sleep, 100


greetings

A function receiving the variable ByRef (so the global variable -pause- is used) wrote:
SleepKey(ByRef pause)
As long as pause = true (so not 0 or empty) -Wait for variable to change- wrote:
While % (pause){
Sleep, 100
...


Hope it helps ;)

Code:
Loop
{
  Click 855, 955 ; Site 2
  Sleep, 10000
  SleepKey(pause)
  Click 825, 955 ; Site 1
  Sleep, 10000
  SleepKey(pause)
}
Return

~p::pause := !pause

SleepKey(ByRef pause){


Now I wanted to go further and implement a blinkling like tooltip that
starts when P gets pressed and stops when it gets pressed again.
The problem is inside this loop it confuses me...


I tried something like this:



Code:
If GetKeyState("P" [, "P"])
   Loop
   {
   ToolTip, Monitoring Currently Paused!
   SetTimer, RemoveToolTip, 2000
   }
Else
    Return


But I'm not sure if thats the right direction, could need some support again :?

~p::
If !(pause := !pause){
   SetTimer, ToolTip, Off
   Goto, RemoveToolTip
} else
   SetTimer,ToolTip,1000
Return

SleepKey(ByRef pause){
   While % (pause){
      Sleep, 100
   }
}

ToolTip:
ToolTip,Paused !!!
SetTimer,RemoveToolTip,-500
Return

RemoveToolTip:
ToolTip
Return
