Multiple Team Seat

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, I’ve ran into an issue where I cannot get a script to where multiple teams can sit on a seat whereof any unwritten teams cannot sit on the seat.

I had a script but it is incredibly bad and I can’t think of any solutions. If you can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Could you please elaborate on what you’re trying to do, and give us some more insight on how you want it to be done?

i.e if you’re using custom teams or roblox playerboard teams, if its the same seat, specific seats or just any seat, etc.

If you could answer those questions then I’ll be able to help you figure out a solution. :smile:

I’m not talking about CollisionGroups. By that I mean I mean the service that ROBLOX provides under Explorer and I want this to be done in a specific seat that can be replicated. My main goal is to just get a vehicle seat that kicks out a player if they’re not in a defined team. Thank you.

I think this aligns with the behavior you’re looking for; just make sure to replace the teams within the table.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")

local Seat = script.Parent

local TeamsAllowed = {
	[Teams.Blue] = true,
	[Teams.Green] = true
}

Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
	local Occupant = Seat.Occupant
	if not Occupant then return end   -- Player is standing up
	
	local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Occupant.Parent)
	
	if not TeamsAllowed[Player.Team] then
		wait(0.5)   -- Short delay to ensure that the player is removed
		Occupant.Sit = false
		return   -- This player is not allowed to sit
	end
end)

Colbert explained how this solution is flawed. However, if you want to see it you can look at the the old solution below.

Old Solution

I would just break the weld instantly, rather than doing that.


local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")

local Seat = script.Parent -- put this inside a seat

local TeamsAllowed = {
	[Teams.Blue] = true,
	[Teams.Green] = true
}

Seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
	local Occupant = Seat.Occupant
	if not Occupant then return end -- if the occupant was set from it existing to it being nil then this shouldn't run
	
	local Player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Occupant.Parent)
	
	if not TeamsAllowed[Player.Team] and Seat:FindFirstChild("SeatWeld") then
		-- there's no need for a delay because this is instant
		Seat:FindFirstChild("SeatWeld"):Destroy() -- destroy it because this is way cooler
		return -- end it here just incase there's any code after this
	end
end)
How do you properly teleport a player out of a seat?

Breaking the seat weld isn’t enough because the Humanoid is still registered as the sitting Occupant of the seat. In addition to this, instantly destroying the weld can result in a race condition where either you receive an error of “Something unexpectedly tried to set the Parent of SeatWeld” or the code runs ahead of time before the SeatWeld is created.

Ok. Just follow @Spooce’s solution, @codykneeper.

#8

Is it possible to do this also?

occupant:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Seated, false)
#9

This disables the Humanoid’s ability to sit on any seat after they’ve sat on the seat in question. It works for the purposes of preventing sitting at all but it doesn’t work for what OP is looking for which is granular control over what seats a Humanoid is allowed to sit in.

Did you mean to use the ChangeState function to get the Humanoid out of the sitting state? This works as well, however it’s no different from Spooce’s solution (Sit = false) and using this immediately after a player sits will not move them out of the seat.

Your script works, thank you so much.

#11

Don’t forget to mark it as a solution, so people don’t try to answer further.
