Remove car if no one is in it for 30 seconds?

Asked by

Hi, I am trying to create a script where if no one is in the car for at least 30 seconds the car gets removed. I have tried creating different scripts but they never end up working and I need a bit of help, here is one script:



function onTouch(seat) 
    local player = seat.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") 
    if (player ~= nil) then 
    print("No del")
    elseif (player == nil) then 
        print("del")
    wait(30)
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end 
end 


script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

So I made this one that if there is no humanoid touching the seat it gets removed but it does not work and I am confused and do not know why.

I lost the other one I made but it had something to do with this

if script.Parent.Occupant == nil then
wait(30)
script.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
elseif script.Parent.Occupant ~= nil then
print("Human in car")
end

This last one was big and confusing but it worked, it put the value into the local player and when you'd click it the value would change to true or false. But afterwards I tried adding in another script to destroy the car if the value was false. The script below was in the gui

people = false

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    print("does")
    if game.Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChild("Value") == nil then
    Instance.new("BoolValue").Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.Value.Value = true 
    else
    if people == false then
        game.Players.LocalPlayer.Value.Value = false
        people = true
    elseif people == true then
        game.Players.LocalPlayer.Value.Value = true 
        people = false 
            if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Value.Value == true then 
    print("parked")
end

    end
    end
end)

this script here was in the vehicle seat. Separate script in vehicle seat.

if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Value.Value == false then
wait(30)
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Destroy()
elseif game.Players.LocalPlayer.Value.Value == true then
print("In car")

None of these scripts worked and I do not know why, I need help with understanding this please. I tried changing some "elseif" to just "else" Thank you very much for your time. Probably an easy mistake, after all it is 12:44AM here

Something like this might work if you have the heirarchy as

>CarModel
>>Script
>>Seat

local timer = 30
script.Parent.Seat.Changed:Connect(function(prop)
    if prop == "Occupant" then
        timer = 30
    end
end)
while wait(1) do
    if not script.Parent.Seat.Occupant then
        timer = timer - 1
        if timer <= 0 then
            script.Parent:Destroy()
        end
    end
end

That will destroy the car after 30 seconds, even if a player is still in it (which just adds more time when they first get in). The player would have to keep hopping in and out to keep the car. WillieTehWierdo200 966 — 7y

This should do the trick. Make sure to change vehicle and vehicleSeat if needed.

local TIMEOUT = 30 -- How long the timer runs before removal
local vehicle = script.Parent -- Change this if needed
local vehicleSeat = script.Parent.VehicleSeat -- Change this if needed

local function timedOut()
    for i=1, TIMEOUT do
        wait(1)
        if vehicleSeat.Occupant then
            return
        end
    end
    return true
end

vehicleSeat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
    if vehicleSeat.Occupant == nil and timedOut() then
        vehicle:Destroy()
    end
end)
