How do I check if player is Sit==true or PlatformStand==true? [ANSWERED]

I have the code below which simply teleports the Player to a location if the Value within the model is == to the Player's name - Tycoon like owner. And if the Player isn't the owner then a GUI is show to him.

I would also like the script to check if the Player isn't seating because I have vehicles in the game, and being teleported with the vehicle would mess the game up, and I can't seem to figure it out..

The script without my attempt at checking if the player is seated:

function onTouch(part) 
    local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) 
    local Character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
    local Torso = Character:WaitForChild("Torso")
    local enabled = false

    if (plr ~= nil) then
        if not enabled then
            if plr.Name == script.Parent.Parent.OwnerName.Value then

        Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(-640.875, -84.657, -339.195)

enabled = true

    else
        plr.PlayerGui.NotTheOwner.Frame.Visible = true

enabled = false

            end 
        end
    end 
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)


--[[
Output:
Script:4: attempt to index local 'plr' (a nil value)

Even though there is an output for this, the script WORKS properly
--]]

The script once more, but with my attempt (NOT WORKING)

function onTouch(part) 
    local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) 
    local Character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:wait()
    local Torso = Character:WaitForChild("Torso")
    local enabled = false

    if (plr ~= nil) then
        if not enabled then
            if plr.Name == script.Parent.Parent.OwnerName.Value then

        Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(-640.875, -84.657, -339.195)

enabled = true
                elseif plr.Name == script.Parent.Parent.OwnerName.Value and 
                if Character.Humanoid.Sit == true or Character.Humanoid.PlatfromStand == true then
                plr.PlayerGui.IsSeated.Frame.Visible = true

    else
        plr.PlayerGui.NotTheOwner.Frame.Visible = true

enabled = false
                end
            end 
        end
    end 
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.

I cannot test it properly without the gui ect . This should work but let me know if there are any errors.

function onTouch(part) 
    local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) 
    local Wplr = part.Parent    
    local humanoid = Wplr:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")    
    local enabled = false

    if Wplr ~= nil and humanoid ~= nil then
        print(1)
        if not enabled then

            --Check player name and if sitting then makes player stand      
            if Wplr.Name == script.Parent.Parent.OwnerName.Value and  not humanoid.sit then

                Wplr.Torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(-640.875, -84.657, -339.195)
                enabled = true

            elseif Wplr.Name == script.Parent.Parent.OwnerName.Value then --player owns the base but is sitting

                plr.PlayerGui.IsSeated.Frame.Visible = true

            else

                plr.PlayerGui.NotTheOwner.Frame.Visible = true --player not owner   

                enabled = false --dont know why you need this?
            end
        end 
    end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

When I'm not the owner and I touch the Part, I get: attempt to index local 'plr' (a nil value) excellentAnarchy 50 — 9y

This might work, change line 2 :- local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild (part.Parent) User#5423 17 — 9y

The same error excellentAnarchy 50 — 9y

Where is the player gui? I managed to get it working, i put a gui in th starterpack and it worked using the code above User#5423 17 — 9y

The Gui is simply a StarterGui which goes into > game.Players.Player.PlayerGui excellentAnarchy 50 — 9y

I have uploaded http://www.filedropper.com/baseplate User#5423 17 — 9y

Oh, thank you! This one works :) I'd +1 you,but people on here have put my points down to -9 - haha :) excellentAnarchy 50 — 9y

just mark the thread as answered :) User#5423 17 — 9y

The humanoid located in a Player's Character has 3 proprieties of use to you

Jump

Sit

PlatformStand

These are all bool values.

If the player is sitting, Sit is true. Same with PlatformStand

You can check these values to see if the player is sitting or not.

Likewise, setting Jump to true will cause the player to jump, and is true when they are jumping.

A simple solution to your problem would be to cause the player to jump before you attempt to move them.

I would go through workspace finding all seats and connecting a event to Seated that triggers a function to fire a event that says who sat down and what seat so baisicly this


function GetSeats(v,tab)
    local Seats
    if tab==nil then
    Seats={}
    else
    Seats=tab
    end
    for _,part in next,v:GetChildren() do
        if part:IsA("Seat") then
            table.insert(Seats,part)
        elseif part:GetChildren()~=nil then
            GetSeats(part,Seats)
        end
    end
    return Seats
end
local Seat=GetSeats(game.Workspace,nil)
for _,s in next,Seat do
    s.Touched:connect(function(p)
        if p.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")~=nil then
        local plyr=game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(p.Parent) or nil
        if plyr~=nil then
            print(plyr.Name.."has seated")
        end
        end
    end)
end

So, how do I use it relating to my code? excellentAnarchy 50 — 9y
