Pause game - change settings and resume

[PuzzledGreatly]

I've created a game in AHK that displays pictures with the options of adding text or audio. The Gui destroys itself and reloads fresh pictures every turn. I wanted a method to quickly change the settings that control what is displayed. I created a separate Settings Gui. It sends results to a text file that is then used when recreating the Game Gui. Everything works as expected except reloading the Settings GUI. If I use WinWaitclose to pause the Game Gui then I can't reload the settings Gui (it only loads once). Below is the code for the Settings Function followed by the code from the main Gui to activate it. Can someone please suggest a fix, thanks.

Code: Select all

Settings()
{
	WinClose, Touch The Picture ; the game GUI
	
	Global FileToLoad, nUP, DIS, STY, TYP
	
	Static MF := Ceil((CalcFontSize("This is some dummy text")/ 3.5) * 100/A_ScreenDPI)	; Settings font size	
	Static MS := MF / 1.5
