How can I make base speed increase when holding down a button?
So I am trying to making speed increase when you hold down a button, I was only able to make it increase when clicking a key again and again. This is what I have rn.
game.ReplicatedStorage.Takeoff.OnServerEvent:connect(function(client, event, data)
if event == "On" and client == player then
bv.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
bg.maxTorque = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
elseif event == "Speed" and client == player then
baseSpeed = baseSpeed + 10
elseif event == "Slow" and client == player then
baseSpeed = baseSpeed - 5
elseif event == "Fly" and client == player then
bg.CFrame = data
direction = bg.CFrame.lookVector
direction = Vector3.new(direction.X, direction.Y, direction.Z).unit
bv.Velocity = direction*baseSpeed
elseif event == "Off" and client == player then
bv.maxForce = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
bg.maxTorque = Vector3.new(0,0,0)
end
end)a

I don't quite get each variables used in the script. It's always good to give a background on the variables used, so we could determine what it does, how it triggers, or act.
I suggest creating a variable named "keyOnHold". On Gui.MouseButton1Down (if mouse is held down), set keyOnHold to true. Then put everything on a loop that goes on while keyOnHold is true.
On Gui.MouseButton1Up (if mouse is released), set keyOnHold to false. That will stop the loop.
*Note that Gui.MouseButton1Down checks if the button is held down. It is different from Gui.MouseButton1Click, which checks if the button was both held down AND released (simply, clicked).
local keyOnHold = false
local button = Gui.Button
while keyOnHold do
--Add code on manipulating speed
end
button.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function() keyOnHold = true end)
button.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function() keyOnHold = false end)
User input service has a function called "IsKeyDown" (im gonna reference user input service as uis)
here is some example code that might get you on the right path.
local delay = 0.1
local speed = 0
while wait(delay) do -- I would usually use a custom wait function here
if uis:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.W) then -- IsKeyDown takes one parameter, a keycode
speed += 1
else
speed = 0 -- this means that they are no longer holding the key, so lets reset the value.
end
end
