By very popular request, we’ve added a new type of Action to the Forge - Continuous Press.

Continuous Press allows you to define actions that will execute when you press the component, then pauses while you hold the component, executing the remaining actions after release. It can only be added to the On Hold interaction event. The Hold delay still applies with Continuous Press, but you can set it to 0ms for it to trigger immediately.

In the example below, the Arrow Down button will be pressed continually (and immediately) as you press the Button, until it is released. This could be used to move a camera easily and continually until you reach the point you want, or increase/decrease a value until reaching your goal.

We can’t wait to see what you create with this new action, combined with the awesome flexibility of the Action Editor and all our components.

You can read more about Continuous Press and the Action Editor here.

TLDR;

• New action - Continuous Press

• Allows multiple actions before and after holding the button down

• Available on any component that has an On Hold state

• Actions ABOVE the Continuous Press action are executed while the button is pressed, actions BELOW are executed when the button is released

• The On Hold delay still applies and may delay Continuous Press activation. However this delay can be set to 0ms so it triggers immediately.

• Added the ability to change the double tap timer in the On Double Tap interaction.  By default, its250ms (which is industry standard) but you can make it faster or slower
