How do I detect a player in a seat then give it a function?

Asked 264 views1 answers

I placed a LocalScript inside a VehicleSeat, and what I'm trying to do is that when the player sits, it can execute the following function.

local Seat =  script.Parent -- Path to seat
local LightPart = script.Parent.Parent.LightParts
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
local on = false
Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
    if Seat.Occupant ~= nil then
        Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
            if key == "l" then
                if on == true then
                    on = false
                    LightPart.HeadLightPart.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
                    LightPart.HeadLightPart2.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
                else
                    LightPart.HeadLightPart.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
                    LightPart.HeadLightPart2.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
                end
            end
        end)
    end
end)

There's a function to check if something is changed:

seat.Changed:Connect(function(ch)
	--ch is the property that changed
end)

And you can check if the property is the Occupant 

seat.Changed:Connect(function(ch)
	if ch == "Occupant" then
		if seat.Occupant then
			local player = game.Players:FindFirstChild(seat.Occupant.Parent.Name) --The occupant is the humanoid, the humanoid.Parent is the player's character

			--Your code here

		end
	end
end)

Let me know if I helped

Edit: If you want to use a LocalScript, then here's an article about Humanoid.Seated

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Seated:Connect(function(it)

	print(it) --This will print true or false

end)

Try to put a print() after every line, and check if the code even runs
