How can I tell if a User is holding down a button?
1 | function onKeyPress(inputObject,gameProcessed) |
2 | if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.V then |
3 | --do stuff |
4 | end |
5 | end |
6 | game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)-- an event for buttons on keyboard |
using this event, along with a key event, only sends it once, when the inputObject is pressed. I am aiming for the user to hold down a button, but there is not options for it at all. I have tried while loops, ends up crashing, I also have tried using isKeyDown, which only tells me if the key is part of the keyboard...

One method could be to add a debounce and a while loop, for example when you press the button you change the debounce to true and when the button is released, make it false. Then all you have to do is use a while debounce == true do loop.
01 | KeyHeld = false |
02 |
03 | function onKeyPress(inputObject,gameProcessed) |
04 | if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.V then |
05 | KeyHeld = true |
06 | while KeyHeld then |
07 | --do stuff |
08 | wait() |
09 | end |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | function onKeyRelease(inputObject,gameProcessed) |
14 | if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.V then |
15 | KeyHeld = false |
16 | end |
17 | end |

19 | game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress) |
20 | game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:connect(onKeyRelease) |

the concept sounds nice, but I just tried that code. And all I did was end up spamming bricks that were in the center. of the map. I tried pressing V to stop that did not work either. scottmike0 40 — 9y

Soo, What I did not know is that you can have more than two of the same types of Services, but in different actions. Though What I really did not know was the significance of Input Ended, since there was no example code on the Api scottmike0 40 — 9y

You can use a variable of userinputservice, local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService"). Then use it like this, uis.InputBegan, and for the InputEnded part there is a example code, http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/UserInputService/InputEnded Kryddan 261 — 9y

This is how I've been using controls for my games:
01 | local tabDown = false |
02 | local input = game:GetService("UserInputService") |
03 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
04 |
05 | input.InputBegan:connect(function(k) |
06 | local key = k.KeyCode |
07 | if key == Enum.KeyCode.Tab then |
08 | tabDown = true |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
11 |
12 | input.InputEnded:connect(function(k) |
13 | local key = k.KeyCode |
14 | if key == Enum.KeyCode.Tab then |
15 | tabDown = false |

It works very well for me. Of course in your case you would have to change the Enum for the key but other than that it should work.
