How to make a PC User only seat

2jammers · January 4, 2023, 11:07pm

You must change this to the location of your seat, leaving it nil will cause the script to error.

Something like this?

2jammers · January 4, 2023, 11:09pm

Yes, but:

Tell me if you need help, and you may put your script in ServerScriptService

erlmix · January 4, 2023, 11:10pm

Oh, Very sorry didn’t see that my bad… So the ServerScript goes to StarterPlayerScripts
and the LocalScript goes to ServerScriptService Am I correct?

Edit: Sorry if I am asking to many questions. Just making sure I’m doing it right.

2jammers · January 4, 2023, 11:13pm

Actually the opposite, and I had an error in my script, it should be fixed now:

-- LocalScript

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local CanPlayPianoEvent: RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CanPlayPianoEvent")

if UserInputService.MouseEnabled and UserInputService.KeyboardEnabled and not UserInputService.TouchEnabled then
	CanPlayPianoEvent:FireServer(true)
else
	CanPlayPianoEvent:FireServer(false)
end

-- ServerScript

local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Seat: Seat = nil

local CanPlayPianoEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")

CanPlayPianoEvent.Name = "CanPlayPianoEvent"
CanPlayPianoEvent.Parent = ReplicatedStorage

CanPlayPianoEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, isDesktop)
	player:SetAttribute("CanPlayPiano", isDesktop)
end)

Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function(humanoid: Humanoid)
	local Character = humanoid.Parent
	local Player = PlayerService:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)

	if Player and Player:GetAttribute("CanPlayPiano") then
		-- play the piano and such
	else
		print("Player cannot play piano as they don't have a keyboard and mouse!")
	end
end)

Re-paste the script into their respective classes accordingly. If this works for you, please mark this as a solution so other people that need help with this topic will know in the future.

Very sorry to tell you this because you probably worked on the script hard but it sadly doesnt work at all…

2jammers · January 4, 2023, 11:22pm

Do you get any errors? Please send me a video of what happens. I cannot test it myself as I do not have access to a mobile device.

erlmix · January 4, 2023, 11:24pm

Wait nevermind it seems to work in test studio but in-game it acts strange let me test this again…

erlmix · January 4, 2023, 11:32pm

Okay, For some reason this thing works in Studio but not in-game?? Very confused…

Studio Test:

In-game Test:

2jammers · January 4, 2023, 11:36pm

I think I may know the problem, try changing your code to this:

if Player then
		if Player:GetAttribute("CanPlayPiano") then
			-- run your code here
		else
			print(string.format("%s is on mobile and cannot play the piano.", Player.DisplayName))
		end
	end

It might have been since before I needed the player to exist and have the boolean to be true.

erlmix · January 4, 2023, 11:38pm

Sorry, What and where do I change the code exactly?

2jammers · January 4, 2023, 11:39pm

Change this section to the code I mentioned.

erlmix · January 4, 2023, 11:42pm

There are Errors for some reason

Edit:

2jammers · January 4, 2023, 11:43pm

You sure you just changed that section I mentioned? Please hover over it and tell me what it says. Your server script should look like this:

local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local Seat: Seat = nil

local CanPlayPianoEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent")

CanPlayPianoEvent.Name = "CanPlayPianoEvent"
CanPlayPianoEvent.Parent = ReplicatedStorage

CanPlayPianoEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, isDesktop)
	player:SetAttribute("CanPlayPiano", isDesktop)
end)

Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function(humanoid: Humanoid)
	local Character = humanoid.Parent
	local Player = PlayerService:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)

	if Player then
		if Player:GetAttribute("CanPlayPiano") then
			-- run your code here
		else
			print(string.format("%s is on mobile and cannot play the piano.", Player.DisplayName))
		end
	end
end)

erlmix · January 4, 2023, 11:46pm

Okay fixed the error and yeah it looks exactly like that. Imma test if it works in-game now

erlmix · January 4, 2023, 11:51pm

Sadly, The same thing happenend again. In the Studio it works, In-Game it doesn’t? It’s honestly kinda suprising why this doesn’t work.

2jammers · January 4, 2023, 11:56pm

I have no idea why it wouldn’t work. Try this new code in the LocalScript:

-- LocalScript

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local CanPlayPianoEvent: RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CanPlayPianoEvent")

if UserInputService.MouseEnabled and UserInputService.KeyboardEnabled then
	CanPlayPianoEvent:FireServer(true)
else
	CanPlayPianoEvent:FireServer(false)
end

Other than that, I am completely out of ideas. Make sure to check the output too, you can do this by doing /console in chat.

erlmix · January 5, 2023, 12:03am

Yeah I did /console and tried gathering what I had…

Edit:

2jammers · January 5, 2023, 12:25am

Try changing your code to this:

local CanPlayPianoEvent: RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CanPlayPianoEvent")

CanPlayPianoEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, isDesktop)
	player:SetAttribute("CanPlayPiano", isDesktop)
end)

Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function(humanoid: Humanoid)
	local Character = humanoid.Parent
	local Player = PlayerService:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Character)

	if Player then
		if Player:GetAttribute("CanPlayPiano") then
			-- run your code here
		else
			print(string.format("%s is on mobile and cannot play the piano.", Player.DisplayName))
		end
	end
end)

And then, make a new RemoteEvent called CanPlayPianoEvent and place it inside of ReplicatedStorage. It also looks like you forgot to add a t at the end of your seat by looking at the errors.

I can certainly try to help you with this problem! It sounds like you want to prevent users who are using mobile devices from interacting with certain elements in your game. Here is one way you could achieve this:

Use the UserInputService to detect whether the user is using a mobile device or not. You can do this by checking the TouchEnabled property, as you have already done in your code.
If the user is using a mobile device, you can use the HumanoidRootPart of their character to move them out of the seat or away from the piano. You can do this by setting the CFrame property of the HumanoidRootPart to a new position.
If the user is using a computer, you can allow them to interact with the seat or piano as normal.

Here is some example code that demonstrates how you could implement these steps:

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local function onCharacterAdded(character)
    -- Check if the user is using a mobile device
    if UserInputService.TouchEnabled and not UserInputService.KeyboardEnabled and not UserInputService.MouseEnabled then
        -- Move the character out of the seat or away from the piano
        local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
        humanoidRootPart.CFrame = humanoidRootPart.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 0, 5)
    end
end

-- Connect the CharacterAdded event to the onCharacterAdded function
game.Workspace.ChildAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)

This code will detect when a new character is added to the workspace, and if the user is using a mobile device, it will move the character out of the seat or away from the piano.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or if you need further assistance.
