Image Splash

[SimPlayer]

Hi

Just got the Image Splash working, example;

F1::SplashImage, C:\Picture.bmp, b
F2::SplashImage, Off

But, I would like to splash the image by PRESSING (and holding down) the F1 key,

and

run the SplashImage, Off command by RELEASING the F1 key.

How is this done?

thanks,

Code: Select all

F1::
SplashImage, C:\Picture.bmp, b
KeyWait, F1
SplashImage, Off
return

@boiler has a good solution. Here's a more complicated solution just to show the different approaches to the same end result.

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force

SplashToggle := 0

F1::
    SplashToggle := 1

    While (GetKeyState("F1", "P")) {
        If (SplashToggle) {
            SplashImage, C:\Picture.bmp, B
            SplashToggle := 0
        }
    }

    SplashImage, Off
return

TheDewd: Note that the toggle is just adding unnecessary complication.

Code: Select all

F1::
	SplashImage, C:\Picture.bmp, B
    While (GetKeyState("F1", "P"))
		continue
    SplashImage, Off
return

(and using GetKeyState and a loop that just waits for a key release is easily accomplished by KeyWait)

I agree it's good to show multiple approaches, though. There are cases where you want to use a loop like you've shown, especially when you need to perform some code while waiting for the release.
