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?
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
print(key:byte())
if key == "f" then
print("wassup")
else
print("hi")
end
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 :
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = player:GetMouse()
fPressed = false
timePressed = 0
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "f" then
fPressed = true
end
end)
mouse.KeyUp:connect(function(key)
if key == "f" then
fPressed = false
timePressed = 0
end
end)
while true do
if fPressed then
timePressed = timePressed + wait()
if timePressed > 3 then
print("F has been held for three seconds")
end
else
wait()
end
end

Impressive, but when I stop holding after the '3 second mark' it continues back where it left off. Very appreciated though!
One more thing, is there way to stop the 'spam' it causes when you have held the key for more then 3 seconds?
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 ;)
