basically im trying to parent this clone of a localscript that is parented to a script in serverscriptservice to the player's character

but when i play the game the localscript wasnt there in the character model but the output printed ok which means it did work so i dont know where it went

view source
01local Seat = workspace.Model.Seat
02Seat.ChildAdded:Connect(function(Child)
03    if Child:IsA("Weld") and Child.Name == "SeatWeld" then
04        local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Child)
05        local CloneScriptChild = script.LocalScript:Clone()
06        CloneScriptChild.Parent = Player print("OK!")
07 
08        Seat.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(Child)
09            CloneScriptChild:Destroy() print("NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO")
10        end)
11    end
12end)

i dont know if im just being stupid or not

When the player sits in the seat the child that is a weld not the player object realchricrocgamer 15 — 4y

clarifying above, the player is not parented to a seat when they sit in it, instead what's parented to the seat is a weld which attaches the player's humanoidrootpart to the seat BrimoireGrimoire 11 — 4y

as in my comment, welds are parented to the seat, not player objects themselves, you have a check for if it's a weld, but then immediately try to do game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Child), but since Child is a weld, Player then becomes nil since it couldnt find a player, and in the following statement CloneScriptChild.Parent = Player you just parent the script to nil, effectively removing it. you could instead,

  • look at the parents of Part0 and Part1 of the weld and get the player through GetPlayerFromCharacter that way
  • :Connect to Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"), since the seat's Occupant property is set to the humanoid of the player currently sitting in it, retrieving the player object is then trivial

i dont get what you mean by parents of part0 and part1 of the weld. all i know is weld is parented to seat which im assuming part0 is a seat proROBLOXkiller5 112 — 4y
