Hello, so I was wondering how to setup a keybind event for a vehicleseat/seat. So maybe in a car if you held down the H key, the horn would sound. Or maybe for a steam train if you held down E, a particle emitter would be enabled shooting steam out of a pipe.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
Try using UserInputService and a LocalScript that gets run when the VehicleSeat.Occupant is changed. Good luck!!!
Would the .Occupant property even affect anything?
There are many ways to solve the problem of “Is the user currently sitting on the seat?” and that is one of them.
Yes but that isn’t what I am trying to do. I’m trying to have a keybind for if you sit in a seat and you press E, something happens.
Well how do you plan on distinguishing a key press from when you are sitting in a seat vs standing about?
When you only press E while sitting, the car horn sounds
When the player is not seated and pressing E the car horn does not sound
You must put everything in its proper place as pictured for it to function properly
ScriptLoadHorn
function powers()
if script.Parent.Occupant~= nil then
local Anyone = script.Parent.Occupant
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Anyone.Parent)
if player ~= nil then
if Anyone.Parent:findFirstChild("LocalScriptHorn") == nil then
local Load = script.LocalScriptHorn:Clone()
Load.Parent = player.Character
Load.Disabled = false
Load.CarValue.Value = script.Parent.Parent
end
end
end
end
script.Parent.Changed:connect(powers)
LocalScriptHorn
local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local HornSound = false
local HornEvent = nil
humanoid.Seated:Connect(function(isSeated, seat)
if isSeated then
if seat then
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "e" then
print("Down E")
HornSound = true
HornEvent = script.CarValue.Value.HornEvent
HornEvent:FireServer(HornSound)
end
end)
mouse.KeyUp:connect(function(key)
if key == "e" then
print("Up E")
HornSound = false
HornEvent = script.CarValue.Value.HornEvent
HornEvent:FireServer(HornSound)
end
end)
end
else
script:Destroy()
end
end)
ScriptHorn
local HornEvent = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HornEvent")
local Horn = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Horn")
local Effect = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Effect")
local function onHornFired(player, HornSound)
print(player, HornSound)
if HornSound == true then
Horn.Sound:Play()
Effect.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = true
end
if HornSound == false then
Horn.Sound:Stop()
Effect.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = false
end
end
HornEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(onHornFired)
If it doesn’t work properly, tell me about the problem
I wish you good luck in what you do
Thanks. I’ll take note of everything.
It only works locally, I tried to add a RemoteEvent, but it’s too complicated to do so.
Thank you very much for your note, I fixed the error and it is working on the server now
I suggest using ContextActionService: ContextActionService | Roblox Creator Documentation
This is because you can do something like:
-- Player in Vehicle
ContextActionService:BindAction("SoundHorn", SoundHorn, true, Enum.KeyCode.H)
-- Player not in Vehicle
ContextActionService:UnbindAction(SoundHorn)Questions regarding the lines of code
Is a script inside the VehicleSeat?
Does it have more lines other than that?
Can other players hear the horn without the Remote?
Quick question, is the effect thing necessary?
No, it’s not effect thing necessary
If you understand the code, you can act with it as you wish
If you have any questions, about the code I can answer them
