Make something happen after double tapping a key?
This is what I have so far in my quest in trying to make this work, all of this part is done in a local script that is inside the player's character.
local flipping = false
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local hum = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input, event)
if event then return end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
if not flipping then
flipping = tick()
else
if tick() - flipping < 0.2 then
flipping = true
--Do Stuff here
wait(1)
flipping = false
else
flipping = false
end
end
end
end)
I keep getting this error which I don't know if this is contributing to it not working that well, and I don't really understand how I would fix it.

It's not really that accurate at detecting if you actually double tapped the button. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Hi MyTradeJustWentViral,
I will just show you how to double tap simply. I don't know what the above answer is trying to do but, it seems very inefficient. It's not that hard to make a double tap.
Script
----------------- Services ----------------------
local players = game:GetService("Players");
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService");
----------------- Services ----------------------
----------------- Initial Variables ----------------------
local player = players.LocalPlayer;
local t = 0; -- Start at 0, this will be what records the previous tick.
local dif = tick() - t; -- The difference between each click.
----------------- Initial Variables ----------------------
function do_it(key, gp)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q and not gp then -- Checks if Q was pressed and if the player meant to press it, as in was it pressed while typing or was it just pressed with intention(without typing)
dif = tick() - t; -- Updates the difference.
if dif < 3 then -- Checks if the difference is less than 3 seconds, so, you need to click a second time within the range of 3 seconds to activate double tap.
print("You double tapped."); -- Prints this if you did double tap.
t = 0; -- Sets the previous tick to 0 because we're starting a new sequence.
return -- returns so that the rest of the function doesn't run, so that the t doesn't become tick() again because we're starting a new sequence.
end -- end for if statement to check if the difference is smaller than 3.
t = tick(); -- Updates the previous tick with a new tick since the new tick becomes the previous tick.
end -- end for if statement to check if Q was pressed and if it was meant to be pressed.
end -- end for function.
uis.InputBegan:Connect(do_it); -- Connects function to event.
Well, I hope I helped and have a wonderful day/night.
Thanks,
Best regards,

local x = Instance.new("BoolValue")
x.Parent = script
x.Name = "BoolValue"
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
script.BoolValue.Value = true
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if script.BoolValue.Value == true then
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
--stuffs here
script:Destroy()
end
script.BoolValue.Value = false
end
end)
end
end)
script is temporary, after detecting 1 double click it will destroy, sorry i can't make any script that will detect double taps, But that's what i did so far
