Unending lua loop
Posted: 21 Dec 2018, 03:44
Hey everyone, new to posting on the site but used it as a quick help for the last year or so. Thanks for all the help.
Currently I am trying to setup a script for the game Forts on my Logitech G510 keyboard. I am wanting to press G9 and then having a loop of "E", a wait, "TAB", and then another wait, until I release G9. And also I want to press G12 and have it loop "U", wait, "TAB", wait, until I press G12 again.
Normally for other games, I simply plug in what I want to happen and set the G-key to a repeating option such as repeat every 50ms and the key as a toggle. However for some reason, while this does work on other games and when I test the profile it works flawlessly, in Forts it does nothing.
So I decided to try create a script for the keyboard to run when I press the G-keys in Forts (the G510 has a scripting section for each profile). Currently the script does work with what I have coded in game (not sure why my code is better than simply selecting what I want in the standard way), however the script runs on a loop until I restart my PC. Here is my code so far, can anyone show me what I am doing wrong?
From testing if I press G9 it will run the script correctly in game, however it will run the script repeatedly until I can kill it or restart my PC. If I press G12 it does the same thing.

Code: Select all
function OnEvent(event, arg, family) //required for the G510 for some reason
if event == "G_PRESSED" and arg == 9 then //when G9 is pressed activate
repeat PressKey("e"); Sleep(100); ReleaseKey("e"); Sleep(100); PressKey("tab"); Sleep(100); ReleaseKey("tab"); Sleep(100); until event=="G_RELEASED" and arg==9 //unending loop
end
if event == "G_PRESSED" and arg == 12 then //when G12 is pressed activate
state = not state //toggle function I have used for other games without problem, normally if I press the G-key it holds another key until the G-key is pressed again
while state do //loop function
PressKey("u"); Sleep(100); ReleaseKey("u"); Sleep(100); PressKey("tab"); Sleep(100); ReleaseKey("tab"); Sleep(100);
end
end
