Pause function not working properly as the script keeps running Topic is solved

[sadlulu]

I wrote a ahk script, I want to pause the script when I press F7. Yet the script keeps on running and w and left click keeps getting pressed.

How can I modify so pressing f7 pauses the script and f8 resumes the script? Thanks

Code: Select all

F8::
Loop
    send {w down}{click down}
return

F7::pause


esc:: ExitApp

Code: Select all

F7::SetTimer, Go, Off
F8::SetTimer, Go, 50
Go:
Send w
Click
Return

Code: Select all

F7::SetTimer, Go, Off
F8::SetTimer, Go, 50
Go:
Send w
Click
Return

Thanks for the quick reply.
Sorry for being unclear about the question. I want to hold the left click. I think your script just clicks every 50 millisecond.
I tried to look up on google and ppl said toggle is the way. However idk why it's not working.

Something like this?

Code: Select all

F8::send {w down}{click down}
F7::send {w up}{click up}

Hallo,
or:

Code: Select all

F8::SetTimer, F8 Up, 50
F8 Up::Send, {w down}{click down}
F7::SetTimer, F8 Up, Off
F7 Up::Send, {w up}{click up}

The key downs are sent every 50ms.

Both aifritz and Rohwedder's functions work.

I am not sure about the difference between pausing and not pausing though. I experimented with both and found no difference in pratical
