Assistance with local variables

[Pumpk11nnn]

Hey, I'm pretty new to AHK, but I've been coding in python and lua for a little while, so I'm trying to understand what is causing this script to not update the local variables.

Code: Select all

delaySpeed := 1000
mashSpeed := 15
currentSpeed := 15

x::
toggle:=!toggle
if (toggle)
    currentSpeed := delaySpeed
else
    currentSpeed := mashSpeed
return

~$LButton::
    While GetKeyState("LButton", "P"){
        Click
    Sleep currentSpeed
    }
return

I'm assuming the issue is I'm not supposed to be doing := or something inside of the if statement, and I've tried looking around for examples, yet here I sit dumbfounded.
If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it!

You have no local variables. In v1, hotkey subroutines are not functions. You variable is being updated. You can see for yourself:

Code: Select all

delaySpeed := 1000
mashSpeed := 15
currentSpeed := 15

x::
toggle:=!toggle
if (toggle)
    currentSpeed := delaySpeed
else
    currentSpeed := mashSpeed
return

~LButton::
    MsgBox % currentSpeed
return

Your script works just as you would expect (at least that's what I would think you were expecting it to do). Test it in MS Paint and hold your mouse down while moving a brush and you can see the difference.
