How to ignore/disable keys for X amount of time - AHK

[imstupidpleshelp]

Code: Select all

$e:: ;$ To avoid autoignition
SetKeyDelay, 200, 50 ;SetKeyDelay , Delay, PressDuration
Send, {e}
Send, {w}
Send, {t}
Return

This is the macro I'm using now but I want to disable/ignore w and t for X amount of time after the 1st use

Then they continue their normal action after X allotted time has passed BUT only execute that action once "e" is once again pressed

How is that accomplished?

Code: Select all

bool := true
time := 6000 ;milliseconds 

$e::
	if (bool) {
		SetTimer enabler, % -time
	}
	SetKeyDelay 200, 50 
	Send % "e" (bool ? "wt" : "")
	bool := false
	Return
	
enabler() {
	global bool := true
}

The above code seems to solve the problem. However, the script stops working pretty quickly after a minute or two of use. Could it be a memory leak problem?
