[Request] Autoit Script assitance

[TehVoyager]

Im working on an autoit script.

i want the Script to start when i press F5.
i want it to loop the Start function.
I want it to stop looping the Start function when i press F8.

   Global $Paused
   HotKeySet("f5","Start")  ;script started by pressing home.
   HotKeySet("f8", "Stop") ;script stopped by pressing End.
   
While 1
Start()
WEnd   

Func Start()
;Stuff.
EndFunc

Func Stop()
   Exit
EndFunc

 Global $Paused
   HotKeySet("{f5}","Start")  ;script started by pressing f5.
   HotKeySet("{f8}", "Stop") ;script stopped by pressing f8.

  
$Start = False

While 1
If $Start Then
MsgBox(0, "Owned", "Core") ; here your function
Endif
WEnd 

Func Stop()
   Exit
EndFunc

Func Start()
$Start=True
EndFunc

Here is the format yours is in...

HotKeySet("{F5}", "_start")
HotKeySet("{F8}", "_stop")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_exit")
$stop = False

While 1
	Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func _start()
	ToolTip("started")
	While 1
		If $stop Then ExitLoop
                Sleep(100)
	WEnd
	ToolTip("stopped")
	$stop = False
EndFunc

Func _stop()
	$stop = True
EndFunc

Func _exit()
	Exit
EndFunc

Here is the way i would probably do it if i just needed to jump out of a single function...

#include <misc.au3>
$x = 1
While 1
	If _IsPressed("77") Then ExitLoop ;77 = F8
	ToolTip($x)	
	$x+=1
WEnd
