So my script works as usual but only when it is clicked. I want it to do it only when it is held. Code:
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
player.Character:PivotTo(player.Character:GetPivot() * CFrame.new(0, 0, 0.01))
end)
I thought of doing a loop but I don't know when it is no longer held. Any help?
You can use coroutines for this. It works, although for some reason it spams the console with an error no matter what safety checks I implement.
local thread
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
thread = coroutine.create(function()
wait(2)
print("been holding for 2 seconds")
end)
coroutine.resume(thread)
end)
script.Parent.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
coroutine.close(thread)
end)
Whenever you first press it, it spawns a new thread, which will wait for 2 seconds. In the MouseButton1Up event, we kill that thread, therefore we can be sure that if the thread's still running after 2 seconds, a player was holding it that long.
Some people might recommend you use wait, however, it's probably not a good idea.

I fixed the problem. The custom character had something anchored and i decided to unanchor it.

But I want to loop 'player.Character:PivotTo(player.Character:GetPivot() * CFrame.new(0, 0, 0.01))' until it is no longer held. Sorry for misunderstanding.
