You could make a “Press E to Sit” gui, it will allow you to have more control over the seat.

I want to use just a basic seat, no GUIs

You can place a script in the seat that will check if the player is allowed to sit

local seat = script.Parent

local AllowedPlayers = {
["wevetments"] = {false},
["Driftyzzz"] = {true}
}

local function OnChildAdded(Child)
 if Child.Name == "Weld" and Child:IsA("Weld") then
  local Character = Child.Part1.Parent
  if AllowedPlayers[Character.Name] then
   if AllowedPlayers[Character.Name][1] == false then
    seat.Disabled = true
    wait(1)
    seat.Disabled = false
   end
  else
   seat.Disabled = true
   wait(1)
   seat.Disabled = false
  end
 end
end

seat.ChildAdded:Connect(OnChildAdded)

EDIT:
The server can’t make the player jump, probably due to replication.

local AllowedPlayers = {

["wevetments"] = {false},
["Driftyzzz"] = {true}
}

local function OnChildAdded(Child)
 if Child.Name == "SeatWeld" and Child:IsA("Weld") then
  local Character = Child.Part1.Parent
  if AllowedPlayers[Character.Name] then
   if AllowedPlayers[Character.Name][1] == false then
    wait(0.1)
    seat.Disabled = true
    wait(1)
    seat.Disabled = false
   end
  else
   wait(0.1)
   seat.Disabled = true
   wait(1)
   seat.Disabled = false
  end
 end
end

seat.ChildAdded:Connect(OnChildAdded)

I misspelled something, this should work now

I’m pretty sure that you can force the player to jump using Humanoid.Jump = true.

With that in mind, you can just make a check once the seat has an occupant with Seat.Occupant.

@Flubberlutsch’s answer is your best solution.

Make a server script that makes the player jump if they aren’t allowed to sit. Along with this, make a localscript that disables the seat so that they can’t sit at all, but will be jumped out if they enable the seat again with exploits.

10

There isn’t really a way to whitelist users to sit down without forcing them back up. Why, is it crucial that your seat need a whitelist or can you just whitelist the logic that’s established upon players sitting down?

11

You can disable the seat through the Seat.Disabled property, then include custom logic to sit players down if they are on your list of permitted users.

The code will be similar to this:

local allowed = {1451803}
local players = game:GetService("Players")

local seat = script.Parent

seat.Disabled = true

seat.Touched:Connect(function (hit)
	if seat.Occupant then return end
	local player = players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
	for i = 1, #allowed do
		if allowed[i] == player.UserId then
			local humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
			if humanoid then
				seat:Sit(humanoid)
			end
			break
		end
	end
end)

Keep in mind, when a player gets up they could fire the touched event again. You will need to add more code to handle this.

You can make a script that set Seat.Disabled = true first , then use v.Touched and check if the player is in the whitelist. If yes, Seat.Disabled = false and Seat:Sit(Humanoid)

Example:

local Seat = script.Parent
local SeatCoodown = 5
Seat.Disabled = true
local WhiteListed = {
["Driftyzzz"] = true,
["Roblox"] = true
}

local IsEnabled = true
Seat.Touched:connect(function(part)
    local Humanoid = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    if IsEnabled and Humanoid and WhiteListed[part.Parent.Name] then
       IsEnabled = false
      Seat.Disabled = false
      Seat:Sit(Humanoid)
    end
end)

Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):connect(function()
   if not Seat.Occupant then
       Seat.Disabled = true
       wait(SeatCoodown)
       IsEnabled = true
   end
end)

Of course it just an example, you should use GetPlayerfromcharacter to check if it is the real player in the whitelist (Using UserId would be more secure)

This solution looks good.

Note that UserId would be better (handles username changing). However, it doesn’t make a security difference since Roblox usernames can’t be duplicated. However, I’d still recommend using UserId, unless you’re hard coding the username list.

In that case, you can use Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync().

Setting Seat.Disabled locally is definitely not the safest method. Anyone with a script injector or memory editor can easily just change Seat.Disabled back to false, allowing them to sit in the seat.

The safest method is server-sided checks, as per the two golden rules:

  1. Don’t trust the client
  2. Do not trust the client

I know this is an old post, but I want to add this solution in case anyone else is looking for it in the future. Just disable the seat, detect when a character touches it, and if the character meets the sitting requirements, call seat.Sit

Put this script inside of the seat:

             game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
         local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
         hum.Seated:Connect(function(isSeated, seat)
           
              if isSeated and seat == script.Parent and plr.Name ~= "YourName"  then
                  seat.SeatWeld:Destroy()
                  hum.Sit = false
              end
         end)
    end)
end)
