AHK How to make one SetTimer launch other, and than reversal - timer

Goal of a code:
Timer CheckStart iterrates every 3 seconds until it find a choosen color.
If it finds pixel - it stops itself and start CheckStop timer, to look for another pixel every 3 seconds.
Rince and repeat
Also there is a keybind to check which timer was launched last.
#NoEnv
SendMode Input
checkstate = 0 ;just for checking state
SetTimer, CheckStart, 3000
Return
CheckStart:
PixelSearch, xx, zz, 710, 460, 730, 480, 0x385982, 0, Alt RGB
if !ErrorLevel {
checkstate = 1
SetTimer, CheckStart, Off
SetTimer, CheckEnd, 3000
Gosub, CheckEnd
}
Return
CheckEnd:
PixelSearch, xx, zz, 670, 160, 725, 200, 0xE60014, 0, Alt RGB
if !ErrorLevel {
checkstate = 0
SetTimer, CheckEnd, Off
SetTimer, CheckStart, 3000
Gosub, CheckStart
}
Return
^!z:: ; Control+Alt+Z
MouseGetPos, MouseX, MouseY
PixelGetColor, color, %MouseX%, %MouseY%, Alt RGB
MsgBox (checkstate%) colour: %color%.
return
What I'm getting:
Before i feed needed color to 1st timer, keybind works delayed, shows state only between iterrations. Can i make it async?
After i feed needed color to 1st timer, checker became "1", but CheckEnd timer not starting. (and so keybind start to work immediately)
What i'm doing wrong? or its just prohibited to launch timer by timer?

There is no such pixel search mode as Alt, that's only for PixelGetColor.
I'm going to assume the problem here is just the pixel search taking forever.
Add in the Fast mode.
So instead of Alt RGB try Fast RGB.

reboot in a click mouse loop not working

I am trying to reboot PC at specific hour when a click mouse loop is running. I used if + else conditions and when I try to run both pieces of code separately the script works but when put together only the mouse clicking loop is running while the timer process takes no effect. Any ideas what’s wrong?
^+f::
SetTimer, Chronos, 500
return
Chronos:
FormatTime, TimeToMeet,,HHmm
If (TimeToMeet = 2018)
{
Run, %comspec% /c shutdown -r -f -t 0
}
else
{
loop
{
MouseClick, Left, 787, 512, 1,0
Sleep 10000
}
}
Return
k::Pause
The loop statement never exits.
You're using a timer so I assume you want your code to be event driven. If that's the case, make the MouseClick part of a timer instead of a sleeping loop.
If you don't want to use events, put your shutdown clause inside of the loop
This clicks (787,512) every 10 seconds until 20:18, at which time it shuts the computer down

SetTimer, Chronos, 500

AHK Branching KeyWaits in Middle of Hotkey

I work in a doctors office doing billing. The programs made for this job are very basic and are absolutely riddled with bugs, so I repeat parts of my code a lot to make certain they work. I used two programs, one for the billing side, one for the chart. Right now, my hotkey grabs the date of birth and Medical Record Number of the patient from the billing side, goes to the chart side, searches for the patient based on those two things (normally the MRN would be sufficient, but Epic blows, so it's not enough) selects the patient, clicks "Chart Review," then waits for me to select a service date. Upon left click, it tabs back into the billing side so I can copy information to it. the issue is, sometimes the patient did not show up, and I have to record this. If they didn't show, there's no chart to click, and I have to click somewhere else to double check that they didn't show. I need a branching type of keywait where if I click, it tabs into the billing side, or if I hit A or something, it clicks appointments, and past, then tabs back to billing and clicks "Typed Notes". I can manage everything besides the branching part. Getkeystate statements don't seem to work, and I can't use an if statement with keywaits (apparently).

The commented part was my last attempt, but I've been googling to find a real idea to try for a while. Any help is appreciated!
Edit: Maybe a "if I click here do this, or if I click here do this" kind of statement will work. I can get the dimensions of the Chart Review window vs the toolbar button for appointments. I've been experimenting with this for another task, but it might work here. Help with that would be appreciated too!
Edit:
#Bob, Actually, and sorry for the late reply, I found that looping a small statement with a few keywaits of very short lengths works well for me. I'll paste my code below.
And this is just a snippet, so it's not the full code.

I can't use an if statement with keywaits
There is a way to "abuse" Input command with L1 and V (might be good idea to throw in I as well) options to act as (somewhat limited) KeyWait replacement. That should work for your usage case.
(...)
Input,var,L1IV ; will act as KeyWait
if (var="a") {
foo:=Round(Sqrt(1764))
TrayTip,,The number is %foo%
}
else if (var="s")
MsgBox Sssnaaakess
(...)

AutoHotkey - Script stops working after some time

I am having a problem with my script which stops working properly, roughly after every 20-30 minutes of running. The problem seems to be with the loop that i have constructed and it stopping after that specific time. It's not the entire script that stops working because for example when i press another bind on caps lock it behaves normally. Furthermore when reloading the autohotkey script i get a message that "The script could not be reloaded." which I have never experienced before this problem with the loop.
So here's the code:
#IfWinActive Tibia

WinMove, Running,, 1, 27

Edit: To add up, I have restarted the pc and done 2 more tests on this script. The result was that it always stops running properly, after exactly 22 minutes. I have no idea what could be causing this, would appreciate any help
Maybe if you rearranged things a little bit.
Move this to the top with your other hotkey routines; hotkeys should always be at the top of your script.
Esc::
BreakLoop = 1
return
put a return after the last {
This will keep the script from exiting when the loop ends.
As to your stopping every 22 minutes - is it possible that this is the length of the loop sequence? Since the timing seems consistent, you ought to be able to find the issue by keeping an eye out for simultaneous events.
Also, so can you tell what line the script is on when it says it won't reload? If you right-click on the tray icon and choose "Open" you will be able to see the status of the lines being processed.
That sort of debuggin method also shows you the time each line took to process and run. That may be very valuable in your case.

AHK script for a timed autofire function

Goal of the script: to continually press Numpad0 for 10 seconds each time hotkey is pressed.
Current code:
toggle = 0
#MaxThreadsPerHotkey 2
timerToggle:
Toggle := !Toggle
sleep 10000
Toggle := !Toggle
F12::
SetTimer, timerToggle, -1
While Toggle{
send {NumPad0}
sleep 100
}
return
At present, the script will run as intended, but only once. Attempting to run it again after the first time does nothing. What am I missing?
I would rather use SetTimers instead of a 10 sec. long while like so
F12::
Send {Numpad0}
SetTimer, start, 100
SetTimer, stop, -10000
return
start:
Send {Numpad0}
return
stop:
SetTimer, start, off
return
Your script likely doesn't toggle your variable correctly. Here is a cleaner version of what you are trying to do which uses A_TickCount:
F12::SetTimer, HoldNumPad, -1
HoldNumPad:
kDown := A_TickCount
While ((A_TickCount - kDown) < 10000)
{
Send {Numpad0}
Sleep 100
}
Return
Note that pressing F12 while the label is running will not have any affect.
EDIT: Made SetTimer use -1 period to run only once, thanks to MCL.

difficulties resetting tooltip

I was hoping to reset the tooltip with the AHK code below. While the msgbox is executed, the tool tip is not reset.
f9::
Loop
{
MouseGetPos, X, Y
PixelGetColor, color, X, Y
ToolTip, %color%`n%X%`n%Y%, X+10, Y-150
sleep 100
}
Exit
Escape::
ToolTip
MsgBox
Exit
Passing an empty value to the Tooltip command just removes the tooltip. I'm not sure what you mean by reset but If you mean to stop the loop, you can set a flag and check it with a While loop.
f9::
on := true
While on
{
MouseGetPos, X, Y
PixelGetColor, color, X, Y
ToolTip, %color%`n%X%`n%Y%, X+10, Y-150
sleep 100
}
tooltip
Exit
Escape::
on := false
MsgBox
Exit
