interrupt a loop

[Trigun]

hello
i have a long loop cycle
something like 20-30 sec then wait then repeat
how i can break the loop and stop it from outside?

i tried to do something like that

Code: Select all

SetTimer, startTimer, -10
;~ SetTimer, UpdateTimer, 5000

where on the updatetimer i check for a condition and launch

Code: Select all

				SetTimer,startTimer, Off
				;~ SetTimer,startTimer,-20000

but it doesn't stop startTimer (i tried delete too without success)

startimer is something like

Code: Select all

startTimer:
loop {
function1()
if xx
function2()
...
...
}

where each function can run for 10-20 secs


if i use something like
if condition == true break
i have to add that code everywhere (in all loops, functions etc).... a bit ugly
there is an alternative?

Hallo,
from outside the Loop? You have the choice between
Reload, ExitApp and Shutdown.
(A moving tank can easily be stopped inside. But outside?)

Uh-oh, it's obviously never too late to involve @tank into this kinda thing

reload exitapp and shutdown will not allow me to restart the loop (both timers are started from a gui click)
