AHK How to fix KeyPress is not breaking the loop

The script is intended to break the loop on XButton1, but fails.

I am a newbie in AHK scripting and a really simple script I made is not working as intended. I googled it and it works on everyone.

ended = false

XButton1::
ended = true
return

$XButton2::
ended = false
Loop
{
    if (ended = true)
    {
        break
    }
    MouseClick left
    Sleep 10
}
return

It was supposed to click infinitely until Mouse4 (XButton1) is pressed. But it does not stop when I click it.

I also checked other StackOverflow posts and nothing solved it.

Your code uses legacy-syntax which was a major headache for me (and I believe many others) when I was starting with AHK.

To make your code work change:

if (ended = true)
to
if (ended = "true")

Consider switching to := (SetExpression) instead of =

For example:

ended = false
should become
ended := false
