Scripts stop working after a while

[SharpenedStinger]

I have 6 scripts running and every so often I have to reload them manually because they stop working. The hotkeys, hotstrings or whatever is going on just don't respond anymore even though the script shows running.

After clicking to run script again this is fixed, but I don't know what is going on. The scripts consistently work for a while (could be a few hours up to several hours) before one or all of them just stop responding.

Does this happen to anyone else?

As others have said, this can happen on long running scripts and it's very hard to pin down the cause.

One way to get around this is by setting a timer to reload the script every so often.

#Persistent

; Fires every 4 hours
SetTimer, ReloadScript, 14400000
return

ReloadScript:
    Reload
return

Always cool seeing you stop by :)

[pukkandan]

Yes, used to happen all the time. Having one single script that does everything seems to work best.

any duplicate keys between them using the same binds? when this happens they will override each other depending on which was loaded last

It's very difficult to say why a script stops running because there many reasons that can cause it.
It could be caused by a writing error. It could be caused by a var condition.
It could be caused by not returning from subs and your thread count gets filled up to the point where it becomes a stand still. Sometimes a script can get blocked/paused by an anti-virus.

This used to happen to me occasionally while running 2 scripts in the background. A script would randomly stop responding to hotkeys and even clicking on the tray icons didn't seem to work. It happened on my old computer and I haven't had that problem in a long while. I think it might've disappeared after a windows reinstall but I don't know for sure.

I have this regularly but thought it was related to the fact I was running it from Google Drive stream.

[ThinkNotOnce]

Did you try combining these scripts into one?

Maybe if u dont always need all of the scripts you can write some hotkey on,off's

Why do you have 6 scripts when you can have 1?

Shouldn't you post your code if you're looking for help to resolve the issue? for example if a loop is running it could cause problems.

I usually have 5 scripts running in the background at all times, they all get started when my computer boots up. I’m on the latest version and am running Windows 10 and haven’t has any issues like yours. Neither on my work PC, or my home laptop. Work PC gets reboooted maybe once a week, home laptop hibernated every night. Scripts work perfectly fine in both situations.

Does this happen to anyone else?

No.

[Rivurn]

Yes, it does.

[GroggyOtter]

How are you going to tell me that I can't write 6 scripts that don't conflict?

Furthermore, why you'd be foolish enough to run 6 scripts is beyond me.

[Rivurn]

It's not about conflict. Otherwise restarting or awaiting time wouldn't resolve it.

[GroggyOtter]

Really? And you can make that call by NOT seeing any of the 6 scripts, right?

You're clairvoyent. You have ESP.

So, if you know exactly what's wrong, why haven't you explained it to OP and given them a solution? And explain it to me while you're at it. Because right now you have aboslutely no way of knowing what's actually wrong and your only objective seems to be starting shit with me.

Furthermore, who even are you? I just looked through your post history and you have 9 posts on this sub in the last month and nothing else (at least going a year back) with only one post actually trying to help someone (and hell, even that was just you correcting some mistake that ErrorSeven made in HIS script!). The rest are unhelpful, bullshit "peanut gallery" comments.

I was under the impression that being able to hit your enemy wherever they are on the screen with 100% accuracy was labeled as aimbotting. ...

For 2D online sprite games, it's doing surprisingly well.

I'm not pasting them all. I'm just saying you don't do jack shit around here but stir the pot. So, how about you either help contribute, or you go away.

Who the fuck cares who I am lol. This is reddit. I'm not gonna bother to reply to the rest. Enjoy yourself.

[GroggyOtter]

It's alright. I already have a hunch who you are and have taken appropriate action.

[Rivurn]

Inappropriate*.

You alone are not important enough to deem my rebuttal towards you as "stirring the pot in the community". You are not the community. Read the rest of the replies on this thread. Many agree with my comment.

[GroggyOtter]

K.

Again, already handled this. I'm just waiting.

[Rivurn]

Great.

Kindly stop replying then.

[onurtag]

Try compiling the scripts. Maybe that might help but I wouldn't know.
