How do i make a seat timer

Skyredbel · December 23, 2022, 3:19pm

Hello, im trying to make a chair so that when you sit on it a timer starts
and when reaching a certain time a ui text pops up
if you leave the seat the timer resets #

i started with this

local seat = script.Parent
seat.Changed:Connect(function(plr)
	if seat.Occupant then
		
	end
end)

here i edited your script some

Skyredbel:

local Value = 0

local seat = script.Parent
seat.Changed:Connect(function(plr)
	if seat.Occupant then
          while wait(1) do
                if Value < 20 then
                      Value = Value + 1
               elseif Value == 20 then
		          -- make the gui pop up here
    elseif seat.NonOccupant then --I don't know what the inverse of "Occupant" is, I just used "NonOccupant" as a filler!
             Value = 0
	end
end)

sorry about the random indents, devforum doesnt let me indent with tab

hi, do you know how to view the timer as a leaderboard status?

local value = 0
local seat = script.Parent
local loop_running = false
local RemoteEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")

RemoteEvent.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage

seat.Changed:Connect(function(plr)
	if seat.Occupant then
		loop_running = true
		while value ~= 20 do
			print(value)
			task.wait(1)
			if not loop_running then break end
			value += 1
		end
		RemoteEvent:FireClient(plr, true)
	elseif not seat.Occupant then
		loop_running = false
		value = 0
		RemoteEvent:FireClient(plr, false)
	end
end)

Local Script:

local ScreenGui = script.Parent

if not game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChildOfClass("RemoteEvent") then
	game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent").OnClientEvent:Connect(function(bool)
		ScreenGui.Enabled = bool
	end)
else
	game.ReplicatedStorag:FindFirstChildOfClass("RemoteEvent").OnClientEvent:Connect(function(bool)
		ScreenGui.Enabled = bool
	end)
end

Hi, thanks for the script but
a error comes up it says unable to cast value to object on the first script line 17

I’m pretty sure seat.Occupant is the player’s character, run Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(seat.Occupant) and fire that player, not plr

I made my script too complicated. Try this instead. Insert a ScreenGui, disable it and insert a local script and frame. Paste the following code:

local ScreenGui = script.Parent
local value = 0
local maxValue = 5
local humanoidSeated

game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Seated:Connect(function(active, currentSeatPart)
	print(active)
	if active then
		humanoidSeated = true
		while value ~= maxValue + 1 do
			print(value)
			task.wait(1)
			if not humanoidSeated then break end
			value += 1
		end
		ScreenGui.Enabled = true
	else
		humanoidSeated = false
		value = 0
		ScreenGui.Enabled = false
	end
end)
