[99leeroi99]

SetTimer, Time, -2000
sleep, 10000
}
return
Time:

        msgbox, hello
    }
else{
        msgbox, done
    }

AHK does not use variables in that way to track the timer's time, though code could be added to simulate that. In your script, the variable Time appears to be null at all times. You can prove that simply by displaying its value in the script. The problem can be fixed if you provide a description of what the script should do. In the meantime, this answer is already provided in your other post: viewtopic.php?f=76&t=96080

A loop, a sleep, and a timer are seldom needed together like this. If the purpose is to prevent the script from exiting, use #Persistent instead.

Labeled subroutines generally end in Return rather than a closing brace. Functions and other kinds of code blocks do use closing braces, but they also use opening braces. The bug in your script is easy to spot in two ways: first, your script contains an odd number of braces. Second, when you run the script, you receive an error message that provides both a description of the problem and the line number where it occurs.

The script do work properly but I just don't know how to initiate the variable in this thing I'm just new

My advice is to provide a description of exactly what this script should do, step by step. You know this, but the reader does not know this.

Setting a variable can be done like this.

Code: Select all

Time := 0
