Making a script that requires the name of the player who is sitting in a certain seat

When you sit on a VehicleSeat or Seat it creates "SeatWeld" within the seat, its Part1 property links to HumanoidRootPart of the player's character. SeatWeld.Part1.Parent.Name Scriptulus 30 — 5y

this isnt a script request site, come with a script of your own that doesnt work as intended and then we'll help, the person below is not supposed to answer, instead do a little bit of research Gameplayer365247v2 1055 — 5y

you could check for the current player by using the seat's Occupant property, which holds the humanoid of the player that's sitting down:

Example: note: this only works when someone is sitting down on the seat; i recommend having some sort of event that detects when the seat is occupied

local seat = workspace.car.seat -- change this to directory of the desire seat object
local character = seat.Occupant.Parent
if character.Name == "bleh" then
    print("hello there "..character.Name)
end

I really recommend checking out properties of roblox objects by going to Roblox API refrence. this will help you learn more on your own
