# ForceHoldStart

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a script

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;
using MeshAnimation;

public class MeshAnimationInteractExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Tooltip("Target object with MeshAnimationInteract component.")]
    public MeshAnimationInteract target;

    [Header("Hold Example")]
    [Tooltip("Animation to play while held. Must match the name in MeshAnimation.")]
    public string holdAnimation = "";

    [Tooltip("Animation to play on release. Must match the name in MeshAnimation.")]
    public string releaseAnimation = "";

    private void Update()
    {
        var keyboard = Keyboard.current;

        // Example: ForceHoldStart on H press, ForceRelease on H release
        if (keyboard != null)
        {
            if (keyboard.hKey.wasPressedThisFrame)
            {
                target.hold.holdAnimation = holdAnimation;
                target.hold.releaseAnimation = releaseAnimation;
                target.ForceHoldStart();
            }

            if (keyboard.hKey.wasReleasedThisFrame)
                target.ForceRelease();
        }
    }
}
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select the animations you want

<figure><img src="/files/DeCdyFbBXtaF4x4kLB9v" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Done

Now, when you hold down the “H” key, the animation starts
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
