Can Someone explain more in detail this code?

Asked 375 views1 answers

Basically, When you are near the Part, and you hold E for 5 seconds, it should print "Hi" Everything works, im a bit confused at the runservice part

** dt = dt + game:GetService('RunService').RenderStepped:Wait();**

Can someone explain this more in depth pls?

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key, Process)
    if (Process) then return nil end;

    if (Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E) then
        local dt = 0;
        while ( (part.Position - Humanoid.Position).magnitude < 10) and UIS:IsKeyDown(Key.KeyCode) do
            if (dt >= 5) then 
                print("hi")
                break;
            end
            dt = dt + game:GetService('RunService').RenderStepped:Wait();
        end
    end

end)

Hey there.

So to begin with the keycode to press for the function to run, as you'd know, is E.

local dt is just the variable for the amount of seconds the key is pressed for.

The next while loop checks if the part's position is 10 studs away from the Humanoid'd position.

If it is, then the code carries on until the timer reaches 5 seconds, hence the:

dt = dt + game:GetService('RunService').RenderStepped:Wait();

Finally, if the timer reaches 5 or is greater than 5 seconds, the code stops.
