Help with toggle function

[ViniBraz]

I have a script for left click mouse toggle and it works just fine...
the problem is, if I try to add another button to hold pressed as the clicks continue, it messes with the toggle and it doesnt "untoggle" anymore.

This one works just fine:

Spoiler

Code: Select all

#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2
XButton2::
Toggle := !Toggle
Loop, 500
{
	if Toggle
	{
		Click, Down
		Sleep 1000
		Click, Up
		Sleep 300
	}
	else
		break
}
return

.....................

But this one starts the looping but it doesnt end when I press the key again, it never ends

Spoiler

Code: Select all

#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2
XButton2::
Toggle := !Toggle
Loop, 500
{
	if Toggle
	{
		Send, {Control Down}
		Click, Down
		Sleep 1000
		Click, Up
		Sleep 300
		Send, {Control Up}
	}
	else
		break
}
return

What I want is for the "Ctrl" key to be pressed down as the script loops... and releases when I toggle off the script.
What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to this AutoHotkey forum!

If you need to trigger a hotkey while a modifier is being held, then you must do at least one of three things.

1. Add the modifier to the hotkey.
2. Add the wildcard to the hotkey.
3. Use a custom combination (not usually preferred).

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33.11
#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2

LButton::
#If on
^LButton::
on := True
Send {Ctrl down}
ToolTip % A_ThisHotkey
SoundBeep 1500
Sleep 2000
SoundBeep 1000
Send {Ctrl up}
ToolTip
on := False
Return
#If

If you are new to AHK, I recommend using its current version, which is v2, instead of this older deprecated version that is no longer developed.

doesnt work
how do you combine this with my working script?
the question is simple:
I want to toggle a little looping script on and off by pressing a button

this script:

Code: Select all

		Send {Ctrl down}
		Click, Down
		Sleep 1800
		Click, Up
		Sleep 3
		Send {Ctrl up}

whenever i press the button it should start looping, and stop when i press again the same button
