The problem is that you're detecting key presses wrong. Try something like this:

PHP Code:

function onTimeOut() {
  this.delay -= 0.05;
  
  temp.key_f = keydown2(getkeycode("f"), false); // F key is pressed
  if (key_f && ! this.keydown_f) {
    this.mode = 1 - this.mode; // Changes mode between 0 and 1
    // player.chat = "Mode:" SPC (this.mode == 0 ? "Semi-Automatic" : "Automatic");
    // The above line would also work instead of the if statements
    if (this.mode == 0) {
      player.chat = "Mode: Semi-Automatic";
    } else if (this.mode == 1) {
      player.chat = "Mode: Automatic";
    }
  }
  this.keydown_f = key_f;
  
  temp.key_s = keydown2(getkeycode("s"), false); // S key is pressed
  if (key_s && (this.mode == 1 || ! this.keydown_s) && this.delay <= 0) {
    // shoot
    this.delay = 1; // replace the one with the shooting speed (seconds)
  }
  
  this.keydown_s = key_s;
  setTimer(0.05);
} 


S to shoot, F to change modes. It should be simple to change the controls to your liking. Let me know if that doesn't work or you need it explained better, or need additional help.

Sorta, it can stop loops/timeouts, and throw stuff out of scope. It's normally best to work around it if possible.
