How can I make it so that only a certain player can sit on a seat?

I want to make a seat exclusively for one player, if another player sits on it then they are forced to stand up (basically they can't sit down).

This is my script:

local seat = script.Parent
seat.ChildAdded:connect(function( newChild )    
    if newChild:IsA("Weld") then
        if newChild.Part1.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" then
            local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(newChild.Part1.Parent)
            if (player) then
                if not player.Name == "iiPizzaCraver" then
                player.Humanoid.Jump = true
                    else
                    --let them sit
                end
            end
        end
    end
end)

There are no errors in the output. It just doesn't work at all.

try changing the "if not player.Name == "iiPizzaCraver" then statement to "if player.Name ~= "iiPizzaCraver" then" ExHydraboy 30 — 4y

beacuse it seems like that if statement is testing to see if there's a Instance named player.Name instead of testing to see if the value equates to "iiPizzaCraver" ExHydraboy 30 — 4y

Try putting a bunch of print statements that print the values of the defined variables. That works like 99% of the time ExHydraboy 30 — 4y

had to test this myself in studio, but this should work.

local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local Seat = script.Parent

Seat.Changed:Connect(function()
    if Seat.Occupant ~= nil then
        --Seat.Occupant is the Humanoid
        local name = Seat.Occupant.Parent.Name
        if Players:FindFirstChild(name) then
            --if the name is NOT "iiPizzaCraver", then kick them off
            -- "~=" means not equal to
            if name ~= 'iiPizzaCraver' then
                repeat wait()
                Seat.Occupant.Sit = false
                until Seat.Occupant.Sit == false
            end
        end
    end
end)
