How to find a player named object using the players name?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I need to find an object in a car, but the car is named after the player, so how do I go about this? I tried this but this does not work, but it should give u an idea of what im trying to do

`

local stamina = game.Workspace.Vehicles.Player.Name… “Car”.Gui.Gas.Value

`

#2

workspace.Vehicles:FindFirstChild(Player.Name)

#3

No no, the vehicle is named PoogliesCar, im trying to find the car named after the player…

#4

Oh, so

workspace.Vehicles:FindFirstChild(Player.Name .. "Car")

the “…” (ignore devforum making it 3 dots, imagine it as 2) is the concat operator. It joins strings together, pretty simple

print("Hello, " .. "World!")

would print “Hello, World!”

#5

You should do:

workspace.Vehicles[player.Name.."Car"]

#6

So how would I go about making it check if a player is in a seat, because this just checks and realizes its not there yet (the car is cloned when the player spawns it in) any help?

	wait(1)
	local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
	
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local mouse = player:GetMouse()
	local hum = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local fill = script.Parent
	local stamina = game.Workspace.Vehicles:FindFirstChild(player.Name.."Car").Driving.Gas.Value
	local canRun = true
	running = false

	UserInputService.InputBegan:connect(function(key, gameProcessedEvent)
		if not gameProcessedEvent and canRun and key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
			if running then return end
			running = true
			while running and stamina > 0 do
				fill:TweenSize(UDim2.new(stamina * 0.001, 0, 1, 0), "Out", "Quad", 0.5)
				stamina = stamina - 3
				wait(0.5)
				end
		end
		end)
	
	
	UserInputService.InputEnded:connect(function(key, gameProcessedEvent)
		if not gameProcessedEvent and key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
			running = false		
		end
	end)
	
	while true do
		if not running and stamina < 100 then
			fill:TweenSize(UDim2.new(stamina * 0.01, 0, 1, 0), "Out", "Quad", 0.5)
		end
		if stamina >= 33 then
			canSprint = true
		elseif stamina == 0 then
			canSprint = false	
		end
		wait(0.5)
	end

You can check if the Occupant property of the seat is the player’s humanoid

local car = workspace.Vehicles:FindFirstChild(player.Name … “Car”)

if car then
    local seat = car:FindFirstChildOfClass("VehicleSeat")
    if seat and seat.Occupant and seat.Occupant == player.Character.Humanoid then
        -- player is in the seat
    end
end

I want to check for the car only once the player is in the seat.

Using this will let you get the seat the player is sitting it, then you can look at it’s ancestor to reference the car or look it up by the name of the player.
