Value is true but still gets by if statement?
Wasn't exactly sure what to title this but here's my code:
local seatsFolder = game.Workspace.Plane.Body.Seats
local function moveCharacter(plr)
local counter = tostring(plr["valuesFolder"]["counterValue"].Value)
if seatsFolder["Row"..counter].Seat1.SeatTaken.Value == false then
print("no1 in seat 1")
seatsFolder["Row"..counter].Seat1.SeatTaken.Value = true
plr["valuesFolder"]["isSitting"].Value = true
print(plr["valuesFolder"]["isSitting"].Value)
seatsFolder["Row"..counter].Seat1.Seat:Sit(plr.Character.Humanoid)
print("took seat1 of row"..counter)
return true
else
if seatsFolder ["Row"..counter].Seat2.SeatTaken.Value == false then
print("no1 in seat 2")
seatsFolder["Row"..counter].Seat2.SeatTaken.Value = true
plr["valuesFolder"]["isSitting"].Value = true
print(plr["valuesFolder"]["isSitting"].Value)
seatsFolder["Row"..counter].Seat2.Seat:Sit(plr.Character.Humanoid)
print("took seat2 of row"..counter)
return true
else
plr["valuesFolder"]["counterValue"].Value = plr["valuesFolder"]["counterValue"].Value + 1
print("row full.. checking next row of seats")
end
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local valuesF = Instance.new("Folder")
valuesF.Parent = player
valuesF.Name = "valuesFolder"
local isSittingValue = Instance.new("BoolValue")
isSittingValue.Parent = valuesF
isSittingValue.Name = "isSitting"
isSittingValue.Value = false
local counterValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")
counterValue.Parent = valuesF
counterValue.Name = "counterValue"
counterValue.Value = 1
repeat wait() until player.Character
player.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson
player.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0
if db == false then
db = true
spawn(function() do
repeat moveCharacter(player) until player["valuesFolder"]["isSitting"].Value == true
end
end)
end
end)
and essentially when a player joins they are put into the first seat available, every row has 2 seats and if both are taken it moves to the next row. there is a value inside of seats models (seatTaken) that I use to check if the seat is already taken and if it is, it moves on to the second seat in the row, and then finally the next row if both are taken. (haven't gotten to the part where the bool value (seatTaken) is put back to false when the player occupying the seat leaves.) I tested if this works by just putting the value to true and joining and it'd work just fine and move me to the next seat. got a friend to help me out and it'd try making me occupy the seat he was already in where the seattaken value was true but it'd still try making me sit in that seat. no clue whats wrong as the if statement continues even though seattaken is true. any ideas? (this is all in a server script inside serverscriptservice)

Instead of using bool values, you should use Seat.Occupant value to check if is nil or not(or if the seat is taken or not, nil if is not taken).
Here is a little example of what I'm talking about:
local seat -- seat
seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Occupant'):Connect(function()
if seat.Occupant == nil then -- checks if there's no one sitting in "seat"
print('nobody is sitting in my seat!')
else -- if there is someone sitting there, then...
print(seat.Occupant.Parent.Name.. ' is sitting in my seat!') -- prints Occupant model name(which is the player's username)
end
end)
