How do you do KeyHeld?
I am making a script that allows you to hold a key to fly up.
local mouse = game.Players:FindFirstChild(script.User.Value):GetMouse()
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key:lower() == "q" then
print("QKeyDown")
end
end)
That is what I have so far, but you have to keep pressing the key to make it print. I want to make it so it continuously prints when you have the key held down. Is there a mouse.KeyHeld:connect method, or a different way of doing it?

Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.
--Put in StarterGui or StarterPack
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer
local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local m = p:GetMouse()
local down = false
math.randomseed(tick())
m.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key:lower() == "a" then
down = true
repeat
print(math.random(1337))
wait()
until
down == false
end
end)
m.KeyUp:connect(function(key)
if key:lower() == "a" and down then
down = false
end
end)

For printing continuously, do a 'while' loop.
while key:lower() == "q" do
wait()
print("QKeyDown")
end
However, since you're making the character fly up whilst holding down a key, you don't need to do that. KeyDown should work fine, even if the print function works differently. I'm not sure if that made sense. Probably didn't. What I'm trying to say is your script should work fine if you replaced the 'print' with your function.
