Essentially, I want a simple CE hotkey to change a value ( let's say gravity) to 15 then revert it to -40 once the key is no longer held down. Do I need to script this, or is there a way to do it in the CE settings. PS: I know this should be obvious but my brain is not working.

Hm.... not sure of anyway to do it without a script but the script itself is simple enough. There are of course different ways to do it but here's one using 2 hotkeys so that only the functionality is coded in the script and the actual action/values are in the hotkeys (note: the one you want to hold down should be first and the second, the one that reverts the value, doesn't need any keys set since it'll be activated by code when you release the first key of the hotkey combo)

Code:
-- code to find the hotkeys
al = getAddressList()
mr = al.getMemoryRecordByDescription("Name of record with hotkeys")
-- get hotkeys, based on position in list aka index not ID (at least fairly sure it's index)
hk = mr.Hotkey[0]

-- set a function to run the second hotkey after the first has run
-- and the first key has been released
hk.onPostHotKey = function(sender)
  timer = createTimer()
  timer.Interval = 100 -- check every 100 milliseconds
  timer.OnTimer = function(timer)
    if not isKeyPressed(hk.keys[1]) then
      sender.Owner.Hotkey[1].doHotkey()
      timer.destroy()
    end
  end
end
