How do you time a pointerdown event?

[Drak]

I'm trying to increase/decrease jump height based on how long someone holds down their mouse for. Any tips or code snippets would be welcome.

Phaser probably won't help you out, but the events will come with a timestamp so you'd need to store the pointerdown timestamp, subtract it from the pointerup timestamp and you have your duration, which you can then turn into jump height.

In 3.15:

this.input.on('pointerup', function (pointer) {
  var duration = pointer.upTime - pointer.downTime;
});

In 3.16:

this.input.on('pointerup', function (pointer) {
  var duration = pointer.getDuration();
});

Nice, very nice work Phaser! That is a beautiful.
