Can you know if a seat is being sat in?
Hello, is there a way to put a script inside a seat to know when someone sits in it? I do not need to know who sits in the seat, but just I would like it to call a function when the seat was sat in.

Not asking for a script, just asking if this is even possible guywithapoo 81 — 5y

Edited with better code sample: Make sure this is a localscript inside startercharacterscripts
01 | local character = script.Parent |
02 | local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") |
03 |
04 | local mostRecentSeat = nil --the most recent seat that the player sat in |
05 |
06 | humanoid.Seated:Connect(function(isSeated, seat) |
07 | if isSeated then |
08 | if seat then |
09 | print ("The player is now sitting in the seat named "..seat.Name.."!") |
10 | mostRecentSeat = seat |
11 | end |
12 | else |
13 | print("The player is no longer sitting in "..mostRecentSeat) |
14 | end |
15 | end) |

Glad to know. Mind marking my answer as the solution? The if statement checks if the seat is being occupied by anyone (it's not equal to nothing/nil) whenever the seat's occupant value is changed royaltoe 5144 — 5y

Yeah, there was a better way of doing it and I made a change to the answer to reflect that. The else bit will fire when the player stops sitting. royaltoe 5144 — 5y

Its not printing anything, and there could be an infinite yield on waitforchild guywithapoo 81 — 5y

If you mean that it doesn't find any seat while sitting up, the player is not sitting in any seat which is why seat is nil. I edited the post to keep track of the seat that the player was just sitting in / is sitting in. Also, make sure that the script is inside StarterCharacterScripts royaltoe 5144 — 5y
