Creating a proximity prompt for certain player to sit

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, I want to create a system that makes only certain player could it by pressing on the Proximity Prompt. I am using this script that I got from developer.roblox.com as a code sample. Thank you.

local proximityPrompt = script.Parent
local seat = proximityPrompt.Parent.VehicleSeat
 
seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
    if seat.Occupant then
        proximityPrompt.Enabled = false
    else
        proximityPrompt.Enabled = true
    end
end)
 
proximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
    seat:Sit(player.Character.Humanoid)
end)

You can add a variable that tells which player is allowed:

local proximityPrompt = script.Parent
local seat = proximityPrompt.Parent.VehicleSeat
local AllowedPlayer = "" -- Put the player that is allowed here

seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
	if seat.Occupant then
		proximityPrompt.Enabled = false
	else
		proximityPrompt.Enabled = true
	end
end)

proximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	if player.DisplayName == AllowedPlayer then
		seat:Sit(player.Character.Humanoid)
	end
end)

I would say to instead replace “DisplayName” to “Name” just so that we don’t have 2 Sams trying to sit in 1 seat.

Since DisplayNames are out now, a lot of people will use their DisplayName. Plus, the DisplayName is what you will see first in game. I think the best option is to use Player.UserId instead.

Ah yes, I agree. All 3 are viable solutions.

So, do I do it like this?

local proximityPrompt = script.Parent

local seat = proximityPrompt.Parent

local AllowedPlayer = Player.UserId = "1890669972" -- Put the player that is allowed here

seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()

if seat.Occupant then

proximityPrompt.Enabled = false

else

proximityPrompt.Enabled = true

end

end)

proximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)

if player.DisplayName == AllowedPlayer then

seat:Sit(player.Character.Humanoid)

end

end)

Because a UserId is a number, you don’t need to put quotation marks around it. Also, instead of checking for the DisplayName, you should check for the UserId. It would look something like this:

local proximityPrompt = script.Parent
local seat = proximityPrompt.Parent
local AllowedPlayer = 1890669972 -- Put the player's UserId that is allowed here

seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
	if seat.Occupant then
		proximityPrompt.Enabled = false
	else
		proximityPrompt.Enabled = true
	end
end)

proximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	if player.UserId == AllowedPlayer then
		seat:Sit(player.Character.Humanoid)
	end
end)

Oh, I realized something. I can’t enter the Seat, is it because I just put my UserId? Thank you. :smiley:

Can you not enter the seat from the ProximityPrompt or from touching the seat?

11

I can’t enter the seat from doing the Proximity Prompt.

12

Are there any errors in the Output?

13

Sorry for the late reply, I will check and inform you.

14

There aren’t any errors for the script.

I don’t know why it wouldn’t be working. I’ve made a model for you to use. See if it works. Seat - Roblox

Thanks for making a model for me to use :slight_smile:, but I actually figured out a working script right now.

local proximityPrompt = script.Parent
local seat = proximityPrompt.Parent

seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
	if seat.Occupant then
		proximityPrompt.Enabled = false
	else
		proximityPrompt.Enabled = true
	end
end)

proximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	if player.UserId == 1890669972 then
		seat:Sit(player.Character.Humanoid)
	end
end)
