Put in a local script and put the local script in StarterPlayerScripts.
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local localPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character
local humanoid
local canDoubleJump = false
local hasDoubleJumped = false
local oldPower
local TIME_BETWEEN_JUMPS = 1
local DOUBLE_JUMP_POWER_MULTIPLIER = 2
function onJumpRequest()
if not character or not humanoid or not character:IsDescendantOf(workspace) or
humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead then
return
end
if canDoubleJump and not hasDoubleJumped then
hasDoubleJumped = true
humanoid.JumpPower = oldPower * DOUBLE_JUMP_POWER_MULTIPLIER
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
end
end
local function characterAdded(newCharacter)
character = newCharacter
humanoid = newCharacter:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
hasDoubleJumped = false
canDoubleJump = false
oldPower = humanoid.JumpPower
humanoid.StateChanged:connect(function(old, new)
if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
canDoubleJump = false
hasDoubleJumped = false
humanoid.JumpPower = oldPower
elseif new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
wait(TIME_BETWEEN_JUMPS)
canDoubleJump = true
end
end)
end
if localPlayer.Character then
characterAdded(localPlayer.Character)
end
localPlayer.CharacterAdded:connect(characterAdded)
UserInputService.JumpRequest:connect(onJumpRequest)
Simple. All you'd have to do is record the timestamp of the initial input, and set an interval for how long the program has before the same input no longer counts as a "double click". Here's an example:
local interval = 0.5 -- How long before the second input event expires
local timestamp = tick() -- Current time stamp of input
if tick() - timestamp <= interval then
... user double clicked
else -- if they missed the second input event
timestamp = tick() -- double click resets
end
All you'd have to do is integrate this within actual ROBLOX events, that correspond to the input you're listening for. Here's a more practical example:
-- Yes, we're going to use UserInputService.
local InputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
-- Click timing
local interval = 0.5
local timestamp = tick()
-- Key that will activate the double press function
local doubleClickKey = Enum.KeyCode.A
-- Function for when double press occurs
local function doublePress()
print("Key was pressed twice within interval")
end
InputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, processed)
if input.KeyCode == doubleClickKey and not processed then
-- Same logic
if tick() - timestamo <= interval then
doublePress()
else
timestamp = tick()
end
end
end)
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

This is a plausible effort, but this really shouldn't be recommended to him. The NumberValue is unnecessary, and the while loop pulse will not be in sync with input timestamps.
I tried this with my friends and did a test session of 5 mins. It worked in sync and didn't lag. This option is plausible and works. I was using my knowledge to help and this is the way I found. Your it's more complicated to understand.
