run simultaneous repeat loops Lua Script Logitech GHUB - lua

Question

This is my first attempt at LUA so bear with me!
I'm trying to combine a couple of functions that I want to loop at the same time, but I can only get them to run sequentially.
Ideally, the function bound to mouse button 6 would start on press and stop on release (currently it doesn't stop at all!!). Separately the function on mouse button 3 would run when it is pressed and stop on release (this one does stop).
At the moment the button 3 loop works as it should, but the button 6 loop doesn't end.
Ideally, I would like both to work and stop on their respective button press and release, AND for them to BOTH run at the same time when both 3 & 6 are pressed at together.
Can this be done and if so what do I need to change to achieve this?
EnablePrimaryMouseButtonEvents(true);
function OnEvent(event, arg)
if event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 6 then
repeat
MoveMouseRelative(300,0)
Sleep(150)
MoveMouseRelative(-300,0)
Sleep(1500)
until event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_RELEASED" and arg == 6
elseif IsMouseButtonPressed(3) then
repeat
MoveMouseRelative(0,300)
Sleep(1000)
until not IsMouseButtonPressed(3)
end
end
Thanks in advance :D

Step 1.
Make sure you're not using MB#4 ("back") in the game.
If you don't use MB#4 in the game, just skip "Step 1".
If some action is assigned to MB#4 in the game, do the following:
choose keyboard button you don't currently use in the game (for example, F12)
goto GHUB (KEYS tab); bind F12 to your physical MB#4
goto game options; bind the action to F12 instead of MB#4
Now when you press physical MB#4, the game sees F12 and activates your old action.
Step 2.
Goto GHUB (SYSTEM tab)
Unbind "Back" from MB#4
Bind "Back" to MB#6
Step 3.
The script.
local all_buttons = {
[4] = { -- mouse button #6
{time=0, x=50 }, -- at time 0 move mouse right 50 pixels
{time=150, x=-50}, -- at time 150 move mouse left 50 pixels
{time=150+1500}, -- at time 150+1500 repeat the loop
},
[3] = { -- right mouse button
{time=0, y=50}, -- at time 0 move mouse down 50 pixels
{time=1000}, -- at time 1000 repeat the loop
}
}
function OnEvent(event, arg)
if event == "PROFILE_ACTIVATED" then
EnablePrimaryMouseButtonEvents(true)
elseif event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" then
repeat
Sleep(10)
local tm = GetRunningTime()
local some_loop_is_active
for btn_no, info in pairs(all_buttons) do
if not info.started and IsMouseButtonPressed(btn_no) then
info.started = tm
info.next_step = 1
end
some_loop_is_active = some_loop_is_active or info.started
local next_action = info[info.next_step]
if info.started and tm - info.started >= next_action.time then
info.next_step = info.next_step + 1
local x, y = next_action.x, next_action.y
if x or y then
x, y = x or 0, y or 0
local sx, sy = x < 0 and -1 or 1, y < 0 and -1 or 1
x, y = x*sx, y*sy
while x > 0 or y > 0 do
local px, py = x < 127 and x or 127, y < 127 and y or 127
MoveMouseRelative(px*sx, py*sy)
x, y = x-px, y-py
end
else
info.started = nil
end
end
end
until not some_loop_is_active
end
end
You should know that MoveMouseRelative() is limited by 127 pixels.
To move mouse cursor 300 pixels you should invoke it 3 times:
MoveMouseRelative(0,100);MoveMouseRelative(0,100);MoveMouseRelative(0,100)
