Exit function from "outsite" with button press

[Comboku]

Hi Guys,

I have written a little loop program that counts to whatever you choose in "Rounds". 

(this is just a short version of my program, but it should cover what I try to achieve)

I now want to be able to stop the counting by pressing the start/stop button. Unfortunately, autoit only registers my click on my button AFTER the func has ended.

Do you guys have an idea how to stop the function? Maybe check if button was pressed in the loop? 

Thanks,

Comboku

Comboku,

The Interrupting a running function tutorial in the Wiki shows how you can do this.
