How do I execute a script when a key is held for some time?
So, I want to learn how to execute a chunk of code when a player presses and holds a key but i'm not sure how to approach this, any help?
01 | player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | mouse = player:GetMouse() |
03 |
04 | mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key) |
05 | print(key:byte()) |
06 | if key == "f" then |
07 | print("wassup") |
08 | else |
09 | print("hi") |
10 | end |
11 | end) |

All you have to do is use a while loop to keep track of the time the key has been pressed. You also have to detect when the key has been "un-pressed" to reset that time. Like this :
01 | player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | mouse = player:GetMouse() |
03 | fPressed = false |
04 | timePressed = 0 |
05 |
06 | mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key) |
07 | if key == "f" then |
08 | fPressed = true |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
11 |
12 | mouse.KeyUp:connect(function(key) |
13 | if key == "f" then |
14 | fPressed = false |
15 | timePressed = 0 |

Impressive, but when I stop holding after the '3 second mark' it continues back where it left off. Very appreciated though! yurhomi10 192 — 11y

One more thing, is there way to stop the 'spam' it causes when you have held the key for more then 3 seconds? yurhomi10 192 — 11y

To fix that, just add a protection on line 20 that checks if your function has already been activated. Or, at line 23, just reset timePressed and set fPressed to false ;) Asleum 135 — 11y
