How to hold a button down

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, currently once I hold down my F button, immediately the block script will unblock it. The script doesn’t even get to work, so I’d like just a little bit of help.

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping)
	if not IsTyping then
		if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and Debounce == false then 
			Debounce = true
			
			RS.Block:FireServer()
			print("It work")
			Blockin:Play()
			while ButtonDown == true do
				wait()
			
			end		
			print("It no work")
			Blockin:Stop()
			RS.Release:FireServer("Release")
			wait(.9)
			Debounce = false
		end
	end
end)

2 things.

  1. I don’t see you ever setting “ButtonDown” to true
  2. You need to use InputEnded to detect when it ends.
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
		ButtonDown = false
	end
end)

would I need to make the variables global in that case?

Yes, you would need to make the variable global so it can be changed outside of the function.

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping)
	if not IsTyping then
		if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and Debounce == false and ButtonDown == false then 
			Debounce = true
			
			RS.Block:FireServer()
			print("It work")
			Blockin:Play()
			while ButtonDown == true do
				wait()
			
			end
		end
	end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping)
	if not IsTyping then
		if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and Debounce == false and ButtonDown == true then
			print("It no work")
			Blockin:Stop()
			RS.Release:FireServer("Release")
			wait(.9)
			Debounce = false
		end
	end
end)

I changed it to this, but the input never changes, and only the first function works.

Sorry, for the late reply, but you never set the debounce to false in either function. Also, wait() throttles, so use task.wait().
