I am working on a game, but there is a problem that when the player holds down the attack button, he continuously attacks until you release the button. What script do you use to make it so they only attack once when you hold it down?

A timer and create the delay you want. Though you'll have to do some extra coding so they can't just spam the button instead.

I actually found a better way, because the players are supposed to spam the button, but not hold it down.

if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
if(AttackVar == false){
this.gotoAndStop(3);
attack = true;
AttackVar = true;
}
attackButton = true;
}else{
attackButton = false;
}
if(attackButton = false && attack = false){
AttackVar = false;
}

But I think I have an unnecessary amount of variables. The script works though.

Oh and also:
if(_currentframe == 1){
attack = false;
}

because once the attack animation ends the player goes to frame 1.
