Hello, I'm wondering how I can make this little timer accumulate with every press. Currently it resets each time the key is pressed. I want it to continue counting

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Timer : MonoBehaviour
{
public float timeStart;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{

    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
    {
        timeStart = Time.time;
    }

    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) && Time.time - timeStart > 0f)
    {
        Debug.Log((Time.time - timeStart).ToString("F2"));
    }
}

}

You reset timeStart every time you press space and the next if-statement will never be true because Time.time - timeStart is 0.

This may be what you want:

bool bFirstTime = true;
void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && bFirstTime)
    {
        timeStart = Time.time;
        bFirstTime = false;
    }
    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) && Time.time - timeStart > 0f)
    {
        Debug.Log((Time.time - timeStart).ToString("F2"));
    }
}
