Hi guys. I am trying to make a soundboard app. Here is the code I have so far #include "Misc.au3" #RequireAdmin;needed to work in some games. #include "array.au3" Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", -2) If @OSArch = "x64" Then Global $VLC_Path = "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" Global $VLC_WorkingDir = "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\" Else Global $VLC_Path = "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" Global $VLC_WorkingDir = "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\" EndIf Global $sectionData = IniReadSectionNames(@ScriptDir & "\SoundBoard.ini") If @error Then IniWriteSection(@ScriptDir & "\SoundBoard.ini", "Sound1", 'File="' & @UserProfileDir & '\Music\SampleTrack.mp3"' & @CRLF & 'StartTime="12"' & @CRLF & 'EndTime="34"' & @CRLF & 'PlaybackDevice="Microsoft Soundmapper"' & @CRLF & 'Hotkey="+{numpad9}"') MsgBox(16, "SoundBoard", "SoundBoard.ini is missing. It has been created for you.") ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\SoundBoard.ini", "", "", "edit") InputBox("SoundBoard", "Notes:" & @CRLF & "StartTime and EndTime are in seconds. Available Hotkeys can be found at the following url:", "https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/Send.htm") Exit EndIf For $i = 1 To $sectionData[0] Local $iArray = IniReadSection(@ScriptDir & "\SoundBoard.ini", $sectionData[$i]) For $j = 1 To UBound($iArray) - 1 Local $result = Assign("SoundBoard" & $i & "_" & $j, IniRead(@ScriptDir & "\SoundBoard.ini", $sectionData[$i], $iArray[$j][0], $iArray[$j][1]), 2) If $result = 1 Then Consolewrite("Variable Assigned: SoundBoard" & $i & "_" & $j & @CRLF & "Data=" & $iArray[$j][1]&@CRLF) Else Consolewrite("Variable was not assigned: SoundBoard" & $i & "_" & $j & @CRLF & "Data=" & $iArray[$j][1]&@CRLF) EndIf Next Next For $i = 1 To $sectionData[0] Local $Hotkey = Eval("SoundBoard"&$i&"_5") ConsoleWrite("Processing Hotkey "&$Hotkey&@CRLF) ;NEED HELP HERE ; HotKeySet($Hotkey,"") Next While 1 Sleep(500);idle to prevent unnecessary work. 10 is the minimal we can set this value to. WEnd Func LoadVLC($iPlayFile, $iPlayFileStartTime, $iPlayFileEndTime, $iPlayAudioDevice = "Microsoft Soundmapper") ShellExecuteWait($VLC_Path, '--qt-start-minimized --play-and-exit --start-time="' & $iPlayFileStartTime & '" --stop-time="' & $iPlayFileEndTime & '" --aout=waveout --waveout-audio-device="' & $iPlayAudioDevice & '" "' & $iPlayFile & '"', $VLC_WorkingDir, "", @SW_HIDE) Beep(500, 200) EndFunc ;==>LoadVLC For example, I have a song called "MoonlightSonata.mp3" and I want to activate it with hotkey !{numpad9}. However, hotkeyset does not allow sending of flags so I cannot use LoadVLC as it is now. I need to create a function that stores the flags using the data from the earlier Inireads. Ik how to use the data but not how to create the function to store that data. I looked at IsFunc() second example but I do not understand. Sorry if I am not being clear on what I am trying to do. My brain is fried right now after trying various things for an hour. Any help would be appreciated. The idea is to be able to have a dedicated hotkey for each sound I want to play so I will need to have my script create a new function by itself using the data from the INI. hotkeyset("$hotkey1","MySoundBoard1") hotkeyset("$hotkey2","MySoundBoard2") func MySoundBoard1() LoadVLC("MoonlightSonata.mp3") ;the other flags are optional and will not be set for simplicity. endfunc func MySoundBoard1() LoadVLC("TheBananaSong.mp3") endfunc Honestly I don't care how it is done as long as I have a dedicated hotkey for each entry in my ini. An example of such an entry looks like [Sound1] File="C:\Users\BetaL\Music\SampleTrack1.mp3" StartTime="12" EndTime="34" PlaybackDevice="Microsoft Soundmapper" Hotkey="!{numpad8}" [Sound2] File="C:\Users\BetaL\Music\SampleTrack2.mp3" StartTime="24" EndTime="43" PlaybackDevice="Microsoft Soundmapper" Hotkey="!{numpad9}" Am I making any sense? Please let me know. Edit: Huge thanks to @Melba23 for the learning experience, his time, and help.
