There's no trace of keyispressed in the script.

TMC's code should do the trick:

Code:

script, key mash, begin
variable(time) #how long we've been waiting
variable(reps) #how many times the key has been pressed
time := 0
reps := 0

#loop until finished mashing/ran out of time
while(time << TIME_LIMIT, and, reps << KEYPRESSES_NEEDED) do(
if (keyval(KEY) >> 1) then(
reps += 1
)

#add another tick to time passed
time += 1

wait
)

#now we've evaluated the key mashing sequence, act accordingly
if (reps == KEYPRESSES_NEEDED) then(
#do what you want for success
)
else (
#do what you want for failure
)
end

See 'Plot:Keyval' for info on the keyval function. It should save you some trouble writing the script.

Sorry, there were a couple of examples posted. I meant my code:

Code:

script, key mash, begin
variable(time) #how long we've been waiting
variable(reps) #how many times the key has been pressed
time := 0
reps := 0

#check for key mashing for the duration of the time limit
while(time << TIME_LIMIT) do(
if (key is pressed(KEY) == 1) then(
reps := reps +1
)
#if we've key mashed enough, finish the loop early
if (reps == KEYPRESSES_NEEDED) then(
time := TIME_LIMIT
)

#add another tick to time passed
time := time + 1

wait
)

#now we've evaluated the key mashing sequence, act accordingly
if (reps == KEYPRESSES_NEEDED) then(
#do what you want for success
)
else (
#do what you want for failure
)
end

Of course, TMC's code should work just as well if you don't want to do a search and replace...
