How do i get the wait time and pause/unpause an animation while a key is being held?
Im trying to make an animation slow down, or loop the first few seconds, when a key is being held;but, i also want the animation to play when the key is no longer being held. In addition, i want the time that the key was being held.(This might be too much to ask for, but please help me) Here is the script.
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Humanoid = player.Character.Humanoid
if key == First and CD == "No" then
local StrongPunch = script:WaitForChild("StrongPunch")
local animTrack = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(StrongPunch)
animTrack:Play()
CD = "No"
end
end)
end)

As for the pausing and unpausing, I can't be very much help. But I can show you how to fire a function when a key is being held, and get the wait time.
Here is the basic structure for getting the keyboard input:
function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then--If the key was R then...
print("Player pressed R")
end
end
function onKeyOff(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then--If the key was R then...
print("Player stopped pressing R")
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)--This fires when a key has been pressed.
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:connect(onKeyOff)--This fires when a key has stopped being pressed.
As for finding how long a player has pressed R, or whatever key you want, you can simply put a loop in the function that fires when R has been pressed (onKeyPress), and in that loop you can count each second that has passed. When the key has stopped being pressed, the function that fires when R has stopped being pressed will make the loop stop.
Here's the visual:
function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then--If the key was R then...
print("Player pressed R")
Pressing = true--The function has just fired, so Pressing should be true
Counter = 0--The time starts at zero
if Pressing then--Start the loop(This won't stop until Pressing is false)
wait(1)
Counter = Counter + 1--After every second, the counter gains 1
end
end
end
function onKeyOff(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then--If the key was R then...
print("Player stopped pressing R")
Pressing = false--The Player has stopped pressing R, so stop the loop.
print(Counter)--The amount of time the Player was pressing!
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)--This fires when a key has been pressed.
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:connect(onKeyOff)--This fires when a key has stopped being pressed.
The Counter variable can only count every second. If you want to count in fractions of a second, then simply lower the wait(1) and Counter + 1 accordingly.
