[SOLVED] How to make a potion effect last as long as you can hold a key?
Sun, 09/13/2020 - 21:56 (edited)

So I am making a mod, which includes an invisibility cloak. I want to make it so that holding the "I" key makes you invisible, and releasing it takes away your potion effects. So I made the procedures, and for whatever reason the invisibility only lasts 4 seconds when I press the key, no matter how much I change the potion effect time.

 

How do I make it so that holding the I key will make you invisible for however long, as long as you don't release the key?

Thank you! It turns out I had the procedures in the triggers tab of the invisiblity cloak, I just removed the procedures from there and put them in keybinds, but I never thought about changing the duration to that. For those of you who have a similar problem: 

 

Key pressed code:

Event trigger - No additional trigger

         if Get item from armor slot 2 of Event/target entity = <choose your armor>

(armor slot 3 is helmet, 2 is chestplate, 1 is leggings, and 0 are boots)

     do Add potion with level 1 and duration 999999 to Event/target entity type <whatever potion effect you want>

Key released code: 

Event trigger - No additional trigger

     Clear all potion effects of Event/target entity
