How to detect when a key is held down?

Here is my code:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Connections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. public class player : MonoBehavior
7. {
8.     Vector3 tempPos;
9.  
10.     // Start is called before the first frame update
11.     void Start()
12.     {
13.  
14.     }
15.  
16.     // Update is called once per frame
17.     void Update()
18.     {
19.         // Player movment
20.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
21.         {
22.         tempPos = transform.position;
23.         float speed = 0.3f;
24.         tempPos.x += speed;
25.         transform.position = tempPos;
26.        }
27.     }
28. }

 

if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow))

 

Thank you

 

Just want to clarify further:

• GetKeyDown

  only runs once on the first frame that the key was pressed.
  

• GetKeyUp

  only runs once on the frame that the key was released.

• GetKey

  runs continuously to check if a key is currently pressed down or not.

 

And to clarify one more step, the above is ONLY guaranteed to be true in Update().

It is NOT necessarily true in any other function (such as FixedUpdate())

@Vryken if you wanna add that to your post I'll just delete mine. I like how yours is nice and boom-boom-boom straight.

 

Yeah i know it will only run only be guaranteed to run forever in the Update()
