How can I run 2 other functions in same time

[kuebk]

So I'm making some kind of bot, and when I'm starting it, it is doing something in first window, but when I press 2nd button in my GUI I want it to do something in second window while it is still doing what it was in first window.

Anyone could help me?

I'm looking for something other, I want 2 functions to be ran at same time.

Technically running two functions at the same time in the same script is not possible in au3 at the moment because autoit3 is not multi threaded.

You could try one of Smoke_N's suggestions or you could try this. Changing the boolean values of $RunOne and $RunTwo would toggle the execution of their respective code blocks. Just make sure there are no infinite loops in any of the blocks or it will get stuck.

Global $RunOne=True,$RunTwo=True
Runner()

Func Runner()
    While 1
        If $RunOne then
            ;do function one's stuff here
        EndIf
        
        If $RunTwo Then
            ;do function two's stuff here
        EndIf
    WEnd
EndFunc

Then you don't have the concept of either suggestion I gave or the understanding of how AutoIt works.

I think that's going to do $RunOne first before $RunTwo, because $RunOne is listed first and it'll just go through $RunOne 's commands and then check for $RunTwo 's

EDIT: forget that, you edited your post

The problem is that this 2 functions are doing what I want in infinitive loops. Any other possible solution?

Did you not listen? AutoIt is NOT multi-threaded, which makes that merely impossible. The only way is to have 2 scripts, which you could call one from the other when a certain button is pressed.

[seandisanti]

The way to get what you want, OP, is to have 2 compiled scripts that are called via run()'s, or non-compiled scripts via smoke's suggestion; in a 3rd script.

Perhaps another way is to have one script a delayed effect and start the other one regularly, so the outcome is both of them running at the same time.

All things considered, it might just be easy trying a language that has multi-thread capabilities.
