ContextActionService Mobile Button Help

I’m trying to figure out how to check when the ContextActionService button is being held. If you don’t know what it is, it’s this.

I want to create a simple “while true do” loop of when the button is held but I can’t seem to find the right thing to do that.
Thanks for stopping by to read!

Just create a variable that changes when the button is pressed/unpressed, and refer to that in your loop.

Example:

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

local pressedvar = false
local function pressedfunc(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
	if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
		pressedvar = true
	else
        pressedvar = false
    end
end
 
ContextActionService:BindAction("Interact", pressedfunc, true, "your button")

while true do
    if pressedvar == true then
          --do whatever
    end
end

Hope this helps!
