how to detect if player is holding a certain key for a certain time?
I wanna know how to detect the user/player is holding down a certain key for let’s say 5 seconds. Thanks!
also should it be in a server or local script? Thanks again!

It should be local script because key detection is mainly used locally.
You could try something like this
01 | local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService") |
02 | UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(keycode) |
03 |
04 | if keycode.keyCode == Enum.KeyCode.w then -- Change w to the key you want |
05 | local keydown = 0 |
06 | for rounds = 1,(5 * 4) do --change 5 to the amount of seconds you want |
07 | wait(0.25) |
08 | if keycode.keyCode == Enum.KeyCode.w then -- Change w to the key you want |
09 | keydown = keydown + 1 |
10 | end |
11 | if keydown ~= rounds then |
12 | return |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | if rounds == keydown then |
16 | --Heres the script thats going to be executed after holding keydown |
17 | end |
18 | end |
I haven't tested if this works. And there might be a better way.

You could also do keydown and keyup events, That probably works better Skydoeskey 108 — 4y
