Logitech Lua Repeat while G-Key is being held

Question

Hello guys I want to write a Lua Script thats repeating the codeblock below as long as I'm holding a specific key (best would be G-Key, but is not that important) and instantly stopps when I release the key. As a workaround I just made it that it repeats 6 times and stops, but thats not actually what I want.

Thank you very much!

if event == "G_PRESSED" and arg == 5  then


 for i=1,6 do
if i == 1 then
    end
         PressKey("r")
    Sleep(math.random(50, 100)) 
    ReleaseKey("r")
    Sleep(math.random(2300, 2450)) 
    PressKey("r")
    Sleep(math.random(50, 100)) 
    ReleaseKey("r")
    Sleep(math.random(100, 175)) 
if i == 6 then
    OutputLogMessage("Finished!... ")
end
end
end

I assume you are using GHUB and having both a Logitech keyboard and a Logitech mouse (both devices are programmable via GHUB).

Step 1.
Make sure you're not using MouseButton#4 ("back") in the game.
If you don't use MB#4 in the game, just skip "Step 1".
If some action is assigned to MB#4 in the game, do the following:

• choose keyboard button you don't currently use in the game
  (let assume the F12 key is not currently used)
• goto GHUB (mouse device, assignments section, KEYS tab);
  bind F12 to your physical MB#4
• goto game options;
  bind the old action to F12 instead of MB#4

Now when you press physical MB#4, the game sees F12 and activates your old action.

Step 2.
Goto GHUB (mouse device, assignments section)
Unbind "Back" from MB#4 (if you have not done it already in Step 1)

---

Step 3.
Goto GHUB (keyboard device, assignments section, SYSTEM tab)
Bind "Back" to key G5

Step 4.
The script.

function OnEvent(event, arg)
   if event == "G_PRESSED" and arg == 5 then
      Sleep(10)
      while IsMouseButtonPressed(4) do
         PressKey("r")
         Sleep(math.random(50, 100)) 
         ReleaseKey("r")
         Sleep(math.random(2300, 2450)) 
         PressKey("r")
         Sleep(math.random(50, 100)) 
         ReleaseKey("r")
         Sleep(math.random(100, 175)) 
      end
      OutputLogMessage("Finished!...\n")
   end
end

UPDATE:
Script for toggling G5:

local state, prev_btn, prev_rel

local function Sleep2(delay)
   local tm = GetRunningTime() + delay
   while true do
      local time_left = tm - GetRunningTime()
      if time_left <= 0 then
         return
      end
      Sleep(math.min(time_left, 20))
      local curr_btn = IsMouseButtonPressed(4)
      local curr_rel = prev_btn and not curr_btn
      state, prev_btn, prev_rel = state or prev_rel and curr_rel, curr_btn, prev_rel or curr_rel
   end
end

function OnEvent(event, arg)
   if event == "G_PRESSED" and arg == 5 then
      state = not state
      if state then
         Sleep(10)
         state = IsMouseButtonPressed(4)
         if state then
            prev_btn, prev_rel, state = state
            repeat
               PressKey("r")
               Sleep2(math.random(50, 100))
               ReleaseKey("r")
               Sleep2(math.random(2300, 2450))
               PressKey("r")
               Sleep2(math.random(50, 100))
               ReleaseKey("r")
               Sleep2(math.random(100, 175))
            until state
            OutputLogMessage("Finished!...\n")
         end
      end
   end
end
