How would I connect my ContextActionService to my function while holding down button1?
I am trying to bind my ContextActionService to my function while holding down my left mouse-button. (Making the function continue running while I am holding Button1 down)
Currently I have this: (The coding is in a ModuleScript, which I use for other stuff - it has to be in a modulescript in order for my game to work)
local function inputPlace(_, userInputState, inputObject)
if (userInputState == Enum.UserInputState.End) then
print("Running while holding down Button1")
end
end
local function bindInputs()
if (not OVERRIDE_CONTROLS) then
game:GetService("ContextActionService"):BindActionAtPriority("TryingThisNewStuff", inputPlace, false, 9 Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1)
end
end
Now, this only runs when I quit holding down my Button1.
I want the function to continue running while I am holding down the Button1, but I do not know how to make this happen. I have searched the wiki, and I can not find any solutions.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

You want to execute something as long as they are holding the left click. To do this, you should have a variable that is true when they click it down, and false when they click it up. I'm not entirely sure what you wish to do, but here is the structure I would use:
local holding = false
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local function started(input,gameProcessed) -- When they start
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and not holding and not gameProcessed then
holding = true
-- execute whatever you want to happen when they click it
repeat wait() until not holding
--execute whatever you want to happen when they stop holding
end
end
local function ended(input,gameProcessed) -- When they let go
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and holding and not gameProcessed then
holding = false -- they are no longer holding it
end
end
--Connect the functions to events with UserInputService
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(started)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(ended)
Please note I just made this, so reply to me if there are any errors! I hope I helped, and please accept the answer if I did!
