Player Only Seat

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi there devforum. Hope you are all well.

I am trying to find out a way to make a seat only accessible by certain player(s). I know I could use a Seated event, but that still puts them in the seat for a split second.

Is there any way to make players not be able to sit in a seat at all unless they have a certain User Id (for example)?

What is your use case? I believe you can disable seats and then create your own touched / interact function to only allow certain players in.

A car that only the owner can sit in the driver seat.

#4

Disable the seat and then create your own interact event.

#5

That could be done by using seat:Sit(humanoid) right?

#6

Yes, I would recommend using the new ProximityInput instances over a touched event as it is more user friendly.

Yo! I think I found a solution to this… If you don’t wanna use ProximityPrompts, what you could do is set the Seat’s Disabled property to “true”, and put a Server Script in the seat with the following code:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local seat = script.Parent
local sitting = false

local allowedPlayers = {} -- Enter the player(s) userids here

seat.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local humanoid = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
		
		if table.find(allowedPlayers, player.UserId) then
			if sitting == false then
				sitting = true
				seat:Sit(humanoid)
			end
		end
	end
end)

seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
	local occupant = seat.Occupant
	if occupant == nil then
		task.wait(1)
		sitting = false
	end
end)
