Okay, this may sound like a strange question at why I did things the way I did them, just avoid those questions for now. This is more or less a question of curiosity.

While I was programming a rather large program which I don't have on this computer to post at the moment, I ran into a problem. I solved it though, a rather inconvenient way though. I was wondering what're your methods to solving this problem in a better, more efficient way.

I had a loop going, using goto's and labels. What I wanted is for it to go through it with multiple sleeps, but make the lbutton, and other various hotkeys, trigger it to skip to another spot before finishing that loop. I made an example of the same exact problem I had below.



It loops through the testing, adds a period to 'testing' every 500 MS's. When you click the lbutton, it skips the rest of the loop and goes to stop like it should. But then renders the lbutton useless. The hotkey never encounters a return to finish the hotkey, so when you press it again, it doesn't work.

What're some of the ways you guys would solve this? Don't sit there and complain because I'm using goto's and labels instead of using a simple loop and getkeystate, I know that, this is a question of more or less curiosity at other ways to 'finish' a hotkey.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Your description does not match the script you posted

I believe a more correct description is:
...to go through it with multiple sleeps, but make the lbutton, and other various hotkeys,
trigger it to skip to another spot instead of finishing that loop.


Another method is to have an other loop that calls (gosub) your start label
and instead of "goto, start" after "Testing, Stopped!" change that to "return"

That doesn't work.

I want it to constantly loop. When I press lbutton, it shouldn't finish the loop and go to 'stopped!' instead, but after 500ms's continue to the beginning of the loop.

I tried what you said.



But it indefinitely stops the loop, and...



Does the exact same thing my script does, having the same problem. The mouse button only works once. I understand why it only works once. The hotkey never encounters a return, therefore causing the hotkey to never finish, therefore causing it to not trigger again once pressed.

I tried that, it didn't work either.
