Global variable inside the function

[john_c]

I want to create a function, which will check settings specified in the beginning of the script, and if setting is true, then enable some hotkey. This works:

Code: Select all

mySetting1 = true
mySetting2 = true

CheckSetting(setting) {
	Global mySetting1
	Global mySetting2
	If setting = true
		Return, 1
}

#If, CheckSetting(mySetting1)
    a:: Send, b
#If

But, when I try to use "Global %setting%", instead of "Global mySetting1" and "Global mySetting2", it doesn't work:

Code: Select all

mySetting1 = true
mySetting2 = true

CheckSetting(setting) {
	Global %setting%
	If setting = true
		Return, 1
}

#If, CheckSetting(mySetting1)
    a:: Send, b
#If

Is there way to fix it?

I don't think you can use global like that, however this works exactly the same

Code: Select all

mySetting1 := true
mySetting2 := true

#If mySetting1
    f1:: msgbox mySettings1 = true
#If

f2::
mySetting1 := false
return

The simplest way to fix it is to just have Global with nothing after it. That will declare that all variables used by the function are global variables.

Spawnova, Osprey - both solutions works. Thank you very much!
