hotstring not being recognized in a click loop

[tg4m2FHzu8xZsytA]

hi, i've created a loop which just has click and an if statement that breaks the loop if stop is true, and every other loop in the code works with this and stops the loop once i type "stop", but when i try typing "stop" after activating the *click* loop by typing "click", the "stop" hotstring doesn't work anymore, which causes me to have to go to my desktop and try to exit the script

i'd expect this to happen with the loops that send keyboard input as it might mess with the hotstring, but definitely not a loop that sends mouse input
heres my code:

Code: Select all

#singleinstance force

stop := false
text := ""
amount := 0

:*:chaos::
stop := false
inputbox, text,, text
inputbox, amount,, amount
loop %amount% {
	send, {enter}
	send, %text%
	send, {enter}
	if (stop == true) {
		break
	}
}
return

:*:stop::
stop := true
return

:*:redo::
stop := false
loop %amount% {
	send, {enter}
	send, %text%
	send, {enter}
	if (stop == true) {
		break
	}
}
return

:*:click::
stop := false
loop {
	if (stop == true) {
		break
	}
	click
}
return

Hallo,
specify the line #Hotstring NoMouse anywhere in the script (untested).
