Looping problem [GAMEMODE]

[MrNeon]

I have a looping problem in my code, whenever I press Q or Z the code loops until I release the key (This code worked with GM:KeyPress before). What I'm trying to do is make the code loop only once even If the player holds Q or Z.

[I][B]Before[/B][/I] you look at the codes, here is a small summery of what the whole thing does (Or suppose do to),
When the player spawns, ply.Allahu would equal to 0 (Allahu is like a double safety feature). When the player hits Q, It would take the first safety off and If the player presses Q again, It would activate the bomb, so a sound would play before an explosion would set on the players current position. If the player hits Z when the "safety feature"(ply.Allahu) is equal to 0 (Or in English, Safety On) then It would play a sound and return. If the player hits Q, turning the safety off once, and then the player presses Z, ply.Allahu would be set to 0 (Safety would be on).

[U][B]Code from cl_init.lua[/B][/U]

include("shared.lua")

function safetyOff()
	if !input.IsKeyDown(KEY_Q) or !LocalPlayer().lock then
		if !LocalPlayer().lock then
			if input.IsKeyDown(KEY_Q) then
				LocalPlayer().lock=true
				net.Start("allahu_akbar")
				net.SendToServer()
			end
		else
			LocalPlayer().lock=false
		end
	end
end

function safetyOn()
	if !input.IsKeyDown(KEY_Z) or !LocalPlayer().lock then
		if !LocalPlayer().lock then
			if input.IsKeyDown(KEY_Z) then
				LocalPlayer().lock=true
				net.Start("allahu_notakbar")
				net.SendToServer()
			end
		else
			LocalPlayer().lock=false
		end
	end
end

hook.Add("Think","allahu_trigger",function()
	safetyOff()
	safetyOn()
end)

[U][B]Code from init.lua[/B][/U]

AddCSLuaFile("cl_init.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua")
include("shared.lua")
resource.AddFile("sound/allahu.wav")
resource.AddFile("sound/word.wav")
util.AddNetworkString("allahu_akbar")
util.AddNetworkString("allahu_notakbar")

net.Receive("allahu_akbar",function(len,ply)
	if ply.Allahu==1 then
		local exp=ents.Create("env_explosion")
		exp:Spawn()
		exp:SetKeyValue("iMagnitude",200)
		sound.Play("allahu.wav",ply:GetPos(),70,100,1)
	---->	timer.Simple(1,function()    [B]<--- [U]Lua error occurs here, Line 31[/U][/B]
			if ply:Alive() then
				exp:SetPos(ply:GetPos())
				exp:Fire("Explode",0,0)
			else
				exp:Remove()
			end
		end)
	else
		sound.Play("weapons/slam/mine_mode.wav",ply:GetPos())
		ply.Allahu=1
	end
end)

net.Receive("allahu_notakbar",function(len,ply)                                              
	if ply.Allahu==0 then
		sound.Play("word.wav",ply:GetPos())
	else
		ply.Allahu=0
		sound.Play("weapons/slam/buttonclick.wav",ply:GetPos())
	end
end)

hook.Add("PlayerDeath","onPlayerDeath",function(ply)
	ply.Allahu=0
end)

Here's a video that shows the problem better [B](First part is when I hold Q, second is holding Z)[/B],

Thank you.

Try

input.IsKeyPressed

instead of

input.IsKeyDown

It didnt work. Besides that, I tried searching input.IsKeyPressed in the gmod wiki and I couldn't find anything about that command. Here is the code after I replaced the command,

function safetyOff()
	if !input.IsKeyPressed(KEY_Q) or !LocalPlayer().lock then
		if !LocalPlayer().lock then
			if input.IsKeyPressed(KEY_Q) then
				LocalPlayer().lock=true
				net.Start("allahu_akbar")
				net.SendToServer()
			end
		else
			LocalPlayer().lock=false
		end
	end
end

function safetyOn()
	if !input.IsKeyPressed(KEY_Z) or !LocalPlayer().lock then
		if !LocalPlayer().lock then
			if input.IsKeyPressed(KEY_Z) then
				LocalPlayer().lock=true
				net.Start("allahu_notakbar")
				net.SendToServer()
			end
		else
			LocalPlayer().lock=false
		end
	end
end

Heres the lua error,

I changed the IsKeyPressed to WasKeyPressed, doesn't work but no lua errors.

[MrNeon]

No solutions?

Add some chat.AddText or print commands to see if the code is being executed, just because you don't have syntax errors doesn't mean the code will work the way you want it to.

[NiandraLades]

You're doing it inside a think hook, which runs constantly, and using a condition that returns true for every frame that key is held down - of course it's going to loop

You'll want a cooldown, which can be done with CurTime(), that says 'okay when the player presses this key, record the time it was done. Next time they press the key, make sure enough time has past since the last press before executing the code again'

Alright thank you!
