Why won't this AHK script work?

[Dime333]

I'm running an app called HyperElectronicAHK.exe that is a compiled script that looks like this:

 

Loop
{
Process, Exist, mame.exe
If ErrorLevel <> 0
run taskkill /IM HyperElectronicAHK.exe,, Hide
Else
t::9
y::8
U::7
b::6
a:
s::-
q::-
w::-
e::-
z::-
x::-
c::-
v::-
l::-
o::-
h::-
j::-
k::-
}

It's remapping keys and I want the script to stop if mame is running. What am I doing wrong?

I'm sure this is easy for anyone who knows ahk. Please help me out, guys.

You might want to ask on the AHK forums.

Does the task kill line work in the command line?

 

As in, does the command 'taskkill /IM HyperElectronicAHK.exe' do what you want when you run it in a command prompt?

 

 

Also, I wouldn't task kill the script, from within the script.  There are better and more supported methods for having a script end - check out the AHK docs.

I can't do that since you can't register.

Yes it does, but I don't need this script anymore. Thanks for posting though, guys.
