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.

Can you know if a seat is being sat in?

Edited with better code sample: Make sure this is a localscript inside startercharacterscripts
local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local mostRecentSeat = nil --the most recent seat that the player sat in
humanoid.Seated:Connect(function(isSeated, seat)
if isSeated then
if seat then
print ("The player is now sitting in the seat named "..seat.Name.."!")
mostRecentSeat = seat
end
else
print("The player is no longer sitting in "..mostRecentSeat)
end
end)

It works! Im just curious, whats the if statement for?

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

can you know when the player gets up*

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.

hey i think theres some issues in the new script, seat doesnt look like its specified so it doesnt know what it is

the seat being specified is the seat variable

Its not printing anything, and there could be an infinite yield on waitforchild

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

Not asking for a script, just asking if this is even possible
