whenever i use the Input.Keydown command, my keys are read even if i hold it down. how do i change this so tht the pressed key is only detected once, even if it is held?

Create an array of your last KeyDown and crossref it. If they are both true, it is being held down. If the last one is false, it is a new keypress. If the current one is false, well, it was released.

Are you really expecting the user to press a key, release it, and press it again all within the span of a single frame? I think you are safe.
