Detecting when a keybind is being held and when it is not being held

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

What do you want to achieve?

I want to detect when a keybind is held, and when it stops being held.
While the keybind is being held, I want the player to take damage and play an animation, I also want an int value to decrease on the player.

Eg: Hold H, player health decreases by 5 every second, intvalue inside player decreases by 2 every .5 seconds. damage stops and value stops decreasing after H is not being held anymore.

i’m aware I would need a remote event for this to pick it up on the server, but I’m struggling on how I would detect when a keybind is not being held and is being held.

You should use CAS or UIS

#3 
local UserInputService=game:GetService('UserInputService')
local KeyTarget=Enum.KeyCode.H -- The H Key

local Held,Loop=Instance.new('BoolValue')
local ClockA,ClockB=os.clock(),os.clock()

local function HalfSecond()
	-- Decrease Int Value inside Player
end
local function FiveSecond()
	-- Decrease Health of Player
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,GameProcessed)
	if GameProcessed then return end
	if Input.KeyCode==KeyTarget then
		if Held.Value==true then return end
		Held.Value=true
		if not Loop then 
			Loop=game:GetService('RunService').RenderStepped:Connect(function()
				local Current=os.clock()
				if (Current-ClockA)>=0.5 then
					HalfSecond()
					ClockA=os.clock()
				end
				if (Current-ClockB)>=5 then
					FiveSecond()
					ClockB=os.clock()
				end
			end)
		end
	end
end)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(Input,GameProcessed)
	if GameProcessed then return end
	if Input.KeyCode==KeyTarget then
		if Held.Value==false then return end
		Held.Value=false
		if Loop then Loop:Disconnect() Loop=nil end
	end
end)

i’ll test this, but would it be possible to do the damage and decrease int value on the server?

fire a remote event in the function and then on the serverside, do the logic.
