How to repeat function while button is held down (unity input system)

Trying to repeat the function function OnAttack() continuously while a button is being held down.

Basically I’m looking for an equivalent to Update() { GetKeyDown() {//code }} But with the input system.

Edit 2: Okay I solved it by using "press" in the interactions and giving that The trigger behaviour "Press and release", then did bool held = false; Update() { if(held) {//animation} else if(!held) {//idle animation} OnAttack() {held = !held; } This way if I press the button held goes to true so it repeats the animation every frame, letting go makes "held" untrue and does the idle animation

bool held = false;
Update() { if(held) {//animation} else if(!held) {//idle animation}
OnAttack() {held = !held; }
