Better Key listeners?

[pickleplayer]

So you guys know how if you hold down a button on the keyboard for a second, at first it just types out one letter. "q" . But then if you hold it down a little longer, it suddenly starts typing a whole bunch at once; "qqqqqqqqqq"

 

So, does anyone have any suggestions for methods to get around this so that it only registers one button push, no matter how long you hold it down for?

 

AddKeyDownHandler hasn't been cutting it.

Maybe something like this, basically listen for both KeyUp and KeyDown, and have a variable (keyheld) that toggles:

 

local keyheld = false

 

On KeyDown:

if not keyheld then *Do your stuff*

keyheld = true

 

On KeyUp:

keyheld = false

@pickleplayer Here's a tutorial. Same concept as what almightyjanitor suggested, just more thorough. It's originally for a game engine in Java, but you can use the same algorithms.
