How do i make it so that the player has to hold down e for 5 seconds before my effect is fired?
local HumanoidRootPart = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Part = game.Workspace.GUIPart
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(KeyCode)
if KeyCode.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
if (Part.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude < 20 then
-- effect
print("HI")
end
end
end)

You could have checks on an interval for 5 seconds to see if the key is still held down, this could be represented by a variable that changes on Began and Ended, but feel free to provide an attempt of what you were trying to do since this code doesn't show an attempt related to the question. gullet 471 — 5y

Try this:
local HumanoidRootPart = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Part = game.Workspace.GUIPart
local HoldCount = 0
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(KeyCode)
if KeyCode.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
if (Part.Position - HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude < 20 then
while UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.E) do
wait(1)
HoldCount = HoldCount + 1
If HoldCount == 5 then
break -- this will automatically end after 5 seconds
end
end
HoldCount = 0 -- Reset hold count
-- effect
print("HI")
end
end
Hope this helped! Best of luck developer.
