Lua Simple filter for mouse button logitech

Hi all, I am very noob and I'd like to ask you help for a script using lua.

I have Gsuite program (Logitech) where is possible to script with LUA and I need to create a filter for the button of the mouse. I accidentally click a button and I simply want to add a filter, If I press the button for500ms send the click button, if I release the button before 500ms do nothing.

I tried with macro in Gsuite but I didn't found the solution.

Thank you in advance

Finally tested and with some small modification it works fine.

X is a key and not a mouse button so i used PressKey instead of PressMouseButton
I added also the press function that was missing.

Now when i press the button 4 on my mouse
- if i release before 500ms nothing happen
- if i relaese after 500ms the script press "X" key @ 500ms and release it @ release time + 25ms

This is the working code:

Code: 
function OnEvent(event, arg)
    if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 4) then
    Sleep(500)
              if (IsMouseButtonPressed(4)) then
              PressKey("x")
            while IsMouseButtonPressed(arg) do
                Sleep(25)
               end
        ReleaseKey("x")
              end
    end
end

I'm not familiar with Lua, but did you check accessibility options in Windows control panel? Over there I think you have an accidental keypress suspender, maybe there is something similar for mouse instead keyboard.

Otherwise, I skimmed over docs you provided, you can try this:

Code: 
function OnEvent(event, arg)
    if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 4) then
        sleep(500)
        if (IsMouseButtonPressed(arg)) then
            return false -- propagating click event
        else
            return true -- cancelling click event
        end
    end
end

You may have problems with immediate propagation of mouse click, so you may experience two clicks, one imediately, one after half a second. If that's the case, you have to find a way how to suspend the first click propagation, i.e. how to cancel it.

[Edit]
I think I found a way to access click propagation. I made changes to code.

Tried, sleep modified in Sleep uppercase (not the script gived me an error) but nothing happen.
Tried this without results:
Code: 
function OnEvent(event, arg)
    if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 4) then
        Sleep(500)
        if (IsMouseButtonPressed(arg)) then
            return false -- propagating click event
        else
            return true -- cancelling click event
        end
    end
end

>Tried also this to see the results but without any xxx or yyy results.
I am tryng to understand how to see the result in the g-suite script editor.

Code: 
function OnEvent(event, arg)
    if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 1) then
        Sleep(500)
        if (IsMouseButtonPressed(arg)) then
            return false -- OutputLogMesssage("yyy");
        else
            return true -- OutputLogMesssage("xxx");
        end
    end
end

Now I want to fix a problem.
If I press the button for 0.3 seconds ok it's filtered.
If I press for 0.5 seconds ok the function press and release.
If I press for 3 seconds the script press and release @ 0.5 sec

I'd like to filter if I release before 0.5sec but also I want not to release till I release the button.

While(IsMouseButtonPressed(x))
Do
Goto xxx
