I need to start a new thread from my main script and routinely run code in it from one specific main script string. I'm currently using `AhkThread("msgbox,hello world")` to both create and execute the thread in one line, on a ~1s loop (main script has to invoke it each time). Of course I get a memory leak and it has destroy/init the thread every time, both of which aren't preferable.
I have great respect for the work involved with the project and it's likely a me-problem... the AHK_H multithread docs are uninterpretable for me. The descriptions for each item, code examples, purpose, explanations of differences between similar looking items... with my basic understanding of AHK_L v1.1 vs v2 and how the docs are all written for v2 but mostly apply to v1.1, the multithreading docs appear to be written in what I interpret to be some kind of alien language. I must decode it!
Ramble aside, thanks for any help
Here's an oddly simple and pointless version of what I currently have, if it helps:
Code: Select all
#Persistent
MySub:
AhkThread("SoundPlay,*-1") ; bad method
Random,randomvar,1000,2000
settimer,MySub,% randomvar
return
No memory leak and the main script only spends 8-16ms initializing the thread which really isn't bad, + both run simultaneously (or at least I think it's truly simultaneous...)
