Double key pressed

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Good day, so, I have a small problem, and I am trying to do a “slash” script for my game.
It should start when you press two times “W” in a small period of time.
However, I can not make it work.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Debounce = true

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, Event)
	print("hey!")
	if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W and Debounce == true then
		Debounce = false
		wait(0.25)
		Debounce = true
		game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, Event)
			if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W and Debounce == true then
				print("two")
				Debounce = false
				local BV = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.BodyVelocity
				local R = Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
				local T = (R.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-200)) + Vector3.new(100,0,0)
				BV.Velocity = (T.p - R.CFrame.p).unit * 100
				BV.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
				--local playAnimation = Player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation("None")
				Player.PlayerStats.Stamina.Value = Player.PlayerStats.Stamina.Value - 45
				--playAnimation:Play()
				wait(0.2)
				Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
				Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
				Debounce = true
				
			end
		end)
		wait(0.1)
		Debounce = true
		print("finished")
	end
end)

In this script, once you press once the “W”, it starts looping the second InputBegan event, so the first one does not work anymore.

Use tick since you want the time since the last press. Your current method is just creating a new connection.

local last_press = tick()
local pressed = false -- Determines if the button was pressed before
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, engine_processed)
    if engine_processed then
        return
    end
    
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
        pressed = true
    end

    if pressed and tick() - last_press < 1 then -- or whatever time you want
        -- Your code
        pressed = false -- After all your code, to reuse
        last_press = tick()
    end
end)

Also update the value of last_press to tick() so you can reuse it

if pressed and tick() - last_press >= 1 then -- or whatever time you want
        -- Your code
        pressed = false -- After all your code, to reuse
        last_press = tick()
end

Oops an oversight on my end, I fixed it thanks

#5

It almost works, but it enables everytime. Like, when you press W once, and when around 2 seconds passes, you can still do the slash, but I want it to be like 0.5 gap time (more or less) between the double W pressed.

#6

I tried adding

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
	pressed = true
	wait(0.5)
	pressed = false
end

but it does not let the next event go, and I do not know how to do that it can work.

Heres my way of doing it:

local LastTapped = false
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(inputObject, gameProcessed)
     if not gameProcessed then
          if not LastTapped then
				LastTapped = true
				wait(.25)
				LastTapped = false
			else
				--run code
			end
     end
end)
