How do I detect when a player exits a seat?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I just want to preface that I am not good with scripting at all but I am attempting to make a seatbelt system where the parts named “seatbelt” become visible when it detects a player has sat down and then goes invisible when it detects that a player has exited the seat.

So far I’ve managed to get the first fifty percent of what I’m trying to accomplish working but I am having trouble on the second half where it needs to detect when a player exits the seat.

I’ve spent the last few hours looking for anybody having even remotely the same or similar issue as I am having but could not find anything. So I’m just asking for help here cause I don’t know what else to do, lol.

You can use an else statement:

local Seat = script.Parent

Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
	if Seat.Occupant ~= nil then
		--Player is seated
	else
		--Player has left the seat
	end

end)

Hello Pya!
Tell me if this script works:

local Seat = script.parent

local function SetTransparency(Value)
   for i,x in pairs(Seat:GetChildren()) do
      if x.Name == "seatbelt" then
         x.Transparency = Value
      end
   end
end
Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
   if Seat.Occupant == nil then
     SetTransparency(1)
   else
     SetTransparency(0)
   end
end)

I added an else statment, as adamaniac said; and a function that set the transparency of the seat belt.
Hope that helps!
