Way to make a UIButton continuously fire during a press-and-hold situation?

Question

You know how Mario just keeps running to the right when you press and hold the right-button on the D-Pad? In the same manner, I want my UIButton to continuously fire its act

Answer 1

You can also do similar to what is shown in the previous answer and still use a UIButton.

Just have the timer started on the "Touch Down" and have the timer stopped on either "Touch Up Inside" or "Touch Up Outside".

Personally, I like using UIButtons because they offer some built in visual enhancements you don't have to code on your own.
