How to detect double click on UserInputService?

Is there any way to detect the person double clicking using user input service? Like a way to detect if the person quickly presses click say, Click 2 times in 1 second and it will fire a server event, but if you don’t then it fires another server event.

Why not just use the tick() function subtract the new time from the time of the last click and if its below a certain time then fire a double click event.

This should help you some more if your confused

So, I was poking around on the internet and I couldn’t find a good solution for this. So, I made one of my own:

Edit (Apr 29): Added more customization :slight_smile:

local button = script.Parent -- or wherever your button is
local count = 0 -- initial count, should always be 0
local threshHold = 2 -- you can set this to even 3 of 4 to get triple and quadriple clicks!
local clickTime = 0.5 -- the time within the clicks should be clicked

function onClick ()
	count += 1 -- add 1 to the number of clicks
	
	if count % threshHold == 0 then -- you reached the threshold
		print("multi click accepted!") -- replace with your code
	end
	
	wait(clickTime) -- just wait to invalidate the click
	count -= 1 -- invalidate the click
end
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(onClick)
button.TouchTap:Connect(onClick) -- yes, it even works for touch screen!

How would I detect a double click correctly?

thank you for providing a different, and more useful solution as opposed to just using :tick(), by making it have touchscreen compatibility!
