Code executing multiple times?

Question

OK, I have a problem

Let's say I have 2 items in an inventory and I use 1. I should now have 1. But for some reason, my code will execute the action of taking away 1 multiple time during a button press, leaving me with no items

My Code:

//quick select use//

if (quickItemNumber == 0) { Destroy(quickButton.gameObject); }

     if (quickItemNumber >= 1)
     {
         if (quickButton.GetComponent<ButtonMaster>().itemID == "001")
         {
             gameManager.GetComponent<InventoryManager>().item001 -= 1f;
         }
     }

My question is; How can I make this code happen only once?

Thanks for your help

Your button input is being registered each time the code is run. To get around this, implement a boolean check:

 bool buttonHeld = false;
 if (Input.GetAxis(<blahblah>))
 {
     if (!buttonHeld)
     {
         buttonHeld = true;
         // Execute input code (use item)
     }
 }
 else
 {
     buttonHeld = false;
 }
