How to make BindAction of ContextActionService only execute when I press a key and not when I release a key?

You see, BindAction to me is like the InputBegan with the KeyCode. However, BindAction detects when you press and release the key, and I don’t want that to happen.

#2

Use the user input state

local function handleAction(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
	if actionName == "Sprint" then
		if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then

Put

if inputState ~= Enum.UserInputState.End then
    return
end

at the start of your function to only progress when the player releases the key (or alternatively change End to Begin to make it when the player juat presses the button, not releases it)

Better to check for ‘Begin’ as opposed to ‘not End’ as several other enumeration values exist for the ‘UserInputState’ enumeration list.
