Double Tap with UserInputService?
I'm trying to make a double jump script I know how to make the player jump twice but I do not know how to make it work by double tapping w :P
My attempt below V
Input.InputBegan:connect(function(KeyInput)
if KeyInput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
Character.Humanoid.Jump = true
if KeyInput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
Character.Torso.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 60, 0)
end
end
end)
But that does not work :/ Can someone show me how to do this?
Thanks ~KiHeros

Your Problem
You're not thinking practically. You're thinking that by putting 2 if statements then it will check if they hit the button 2 times? It checks twice, if they hit the button. Not checks if they hit the button twice. Understand?
What You Need To Do
You need to take advantage of the tick function.
- tick function
returns the amount of time, in seconds, has passed since the epoch, or January 1, 1970.
By using this function you can get the time before the jump button was pressed, and after. If the difference between the two is less than a set time.. then activate a double jump.
Code
--Last time the button was pressed
local lastTime = tick()
Input.InputBegan:connect(function(KeyInput)
--Check the keycode
if KeyInput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
--Get tick() time
local now = tick()
--compare tick()'s
local difference = (now - lastTime)
--Check if difference is less than a second
if difference <= 1 then
--if so, enable double jump
Character.Torso.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 60, 0)
else
--Otherwise, normal jump.
Character.Humanoid.Jump = true
end
end
end)
