db = false

while true do
	wait()
	if script.Parent.Velocity.Magnitude >= 5 and db == false and script.Parent.Occupant then
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Occupant.Name)
		if player == script.Parent.Parent.Name then
		db = true
		print("true")
		wait(3)
		db = false
		end
	end
end

How would I track who the occupant of the seat is I want to track it by name but I am not sure how to do this.

Seat.Occupant is the humanoid sitting in the seat. It’s name would be Humanoid. game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character) uses the Player’s character model and not it’s name. So, to get the Character model in the seat, we use Seat.Occupant.Parent.

db = false

while true do
	wait()
	if script.Parent.Velocity.Magnitude >= 5 and db == false and script.Parent.Occupant then
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(script.Parent.Occupant.Parent)
		if player.Name == script.Parent.Parent.Name then
		db = true
		print("true")
		wait(3)
		db = false
		end
	end
end

Edit Oct 2nd 2023: Fixed comparison of string to player, lol. 4 years late better than never!

I’m pretty sure you should get the occupants Parent instead of the name, because Name is a string and the Parent of the humanoid is the character.
