Timed If statement

the swift (14)
I'm currently working on a bot that is in a loop for clicking. Everything's working perfectly although there's one problem... I can't stop it constantly clicking without closing the program.

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout<<"Instructions:\n";
    cout<<" -Move your mouse over where you want it.\n";
    cout<<" -Hit '1'.\n";
    cout<<" -And then hit that enter button.\n";
    cout<<"Be careful. It constantly clicks.";

    int mousePos;
    cin>>mousePos;
    
    unsigned int count;    //For huge number
    for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
    {
        mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);

        Sleep(500);    //Wait 500 miliseconds
    }

    cin.get();
    return 0;
}


Is it possible nest an If statement in there that's timed? Maybe something like this:

1

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout<<"Instructions:\n";
    cout<<" -Move your mouse over where you want it.\n";
    cout<<" -Hit '1'.\n";
    cout<<" -And then hit that enter button.\n";
    cout<<"Be careful. It constantly clicks.";

    int mousePos;
    cin>>mousePos;
    
    unsigned int count;    //For huge number
    for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
    {
        mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN | MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP, 0, 0, 0, 0);

        if(you press something within 500 milisecs)
        {
            close the program;
        }
        else
        {
            continue the loop;
        }
    }

    cin.get();
    return 0;
}


Yeah... Is it possible to have a timed if? thanks

Just put a if ( GetAsyncKeyState(VK_ESCAPE) >> 15 ) break; statement
inside your for loop. Then, you can stop the loop by holding the escape key.

YESS! Works, Thanks!

Question is: what value does count hold? I don't see an assignment.
the swift (14)
I didn't assign it because I wanted it to be infinity, but since you can't do that in C++, just made it an unimaginably large number.

Then this:
1
2
3
4
 
for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
{
    // ...
}

May be better expressed as this:
1
2
3
4
 
while(true) // loop forever
{
    // ...
}

unsigned int count; //For huge number
for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)


This is undefined behaviour, you know?
the swift (14)
Woah yeah, just changed it to a while(1) loop. No idea why I didn't think of that before, and to rapid... Maybe ;)
