How do you make context action service holdable?

So i was thinking of firing a function continuosly when a player holds the key or the emulator but i only know the basics from alvin blox tutorial . It only fires a function when i press it and release it i wonder how can i change it to hold system so everytime i hold it it will fire the function continously and when i let it go it will stop firing

Instead of using contextactionservice ,try using game:GetService(“UserInputService”).InputBegan and game:GetService(“UserInputService”).InputEnded

but i want mobile players to play the game too using the emulator in the context action service

hmm, you can create custom buttons for it too and still be able to use UserInputService

function customJumpAction(actionName, userInputState, inputObject)
  if userInputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then print("Started") end
  if userInputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then print("Ended") end
end

contextActionService:BindAction(
  --[[actionName=]]"customJumpAction",
  --[[functionToBind=]]customJumpAction,
  --[[createTouchButton=]]true,
  --[[inputTypes=]]Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterJump)

This is some code I had lying around, you should be able to detect when a player stops holding a key by making use of the userInputState paramater.
