reboot in a click mouse loop not working - loops

Question

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

Answer 1

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

This clicks (787,512) every 10 seconds until 20:18, at which time it shuts the computer down
F2:: start()
F3:: stop()
start()
{
global running := 1
while running {
FormatTime TimeToMeet,,HHmm
if (TimeToMeet = 1349 )
Shutdown 13
click 787,512
sleep 10000
}
}
stop()
{
global running := 0
}
