Seat coding question

Basically I’m making a cart game and I want to add like a program that will blow up carts if nobody sits on them for like 2 minutes. However, how can I code it so that I know when the player leaves the seat, and start a timer.

You could use the Seat.Occupant property to determine whether or not the seat has an occupant. If it doesn’t have an occupant, wait 120 seconds (2 minutes) and then explode it if it doesn’t have an occupant still.

Example code snippet (it’s not very efficient I’m just doing it for the sake of the reply DO NOT C+P CUZ ITS INEFFICIENT)

local Timer = 0
if Seat.Occupant == nil then
-- task.spawn(function() if you have code afterwards
while task.wait(1) do
if Timer == 120 and not Seat.Occupant then -- 2 minutes
local Explosion = Instance.new(“Explosion”)
-- explode the cart
end
if not Seat.Occupant then
Timer += 1
else
Timer = 0
end
end

local Seat = workspace.Seat --Which seat we're checking?
local AliveTime = 60*2 --How much time until it gets destroyed?

function Destruct() --How should it be destroyed?
	local explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
	explosion.Position = Seat.Position 
	explosion.Parent = Seat 
	print("Boom boom!")
end

local t = 0
while task.wait(1) do
	t = (Seat.Occupant and 0) or t+1
	if t > AliveTime then Destruct() break end
end
