Disable part of the script when using mouse

Question

I'm using the 3 finger drag script and another script in the same ahk, the problem is when I'm connected to a mouse at home, I can't use the mouse to drag the file as long as this script is running. I want only the 3 finger drag part of the script is disabled during the period of time that my mouse is connected. Thanks!

My script as follow:

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases. ; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors. SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability. SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

--zoom with page up and down PgUp:: Send, {CTRLDOWN}{+} PgDn:: Send, {CTRLDOWN}{-}

--3 finger drag #SingleInstance force

drag_enabled := 0

+^#F22:: if(drag_enabled) { Click up drag_enabled := 0 } else { drag_enabled := 1 Click down } return

LButton:: if(drag_enabled) { Click up drag_enabled := 0 } else click return

You can check the active status of hotkeys with "#if expression".

Examine the #if statement:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\mouhid\Enum" in "Count" When the count is 0, it means that there is no mouse attached to the system.

MouseCnt(){ ;Retrieves mouse status data from the registry.
RegRead,MouseC,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\mouhid\Enum,Count
return MouseC
}
    
#if !MouseCnt() ;When the exclamation point is removed, your shortcuts within this expression will only work when the mouse is attached.
/*
Your hotkeys that will work when the mouse is unpluged.
*/
#if

Sorry, but I still don't understand where should I put my 3 finger drag script to make it work.
