Seat that requires a tool

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want a seat that makes the player jump if the player does not have the correct tool. How would I do that?

#2

You want to check if they have the tool in their inventory or if it’s equipped?

#4

if they have the tool in their inventory.

#5

This script can be thrown into the seat

script.Parent:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Occupant'):Connect(function()
	local humanoid = script.Parent.Occupant
	if humanoid then
		local char = humanoid.Parent
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
		if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild('Tool') then -- 'Tool' is your tool name
			print('allowed')
		else
			humanoid.Jump = true
			print('not allowed')
		end
	end
end)

;-; so much better then the one I posted.

I noticed that, yours was a little overcomplicated so I created a simplified version lol

#8

jumping bit isn’t working for me I’m afraid, it prints “allowed” or “not allowed” but it’s not having the player jump

Hi!

@StraightScared your script is actually more accurate, because the tool moves out of player’s backpack when they hold it, and you’ve covered that case. I took your script and made some small changes. Apparently, you have to turn off humanoid.Sit before triggering jump, and even before that, wait for a short time interval, likely for SeatWeld to create, in order to jump.

EDIT
Replace “MyTool” with the name of your tool.
@StraightScared I know that your choices don’t concern me, but I think it is my place to say that you didn’t have to remove your post, because it certainly helped!

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

local function CheckForTool(character)
	local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
	local backpack = player.Backpack:GetChildren()
	
	-- check for the tool in workspace
	if character:FindFirstChild("MyTool") then return true end
	-- check for it in backpack
	for i, v in pairs(backpack) do
		if (v:IsA("Tool") and v.Name == "MyTool") then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end

seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
	if (not seat.Occupant) then return; end
	local character = seat.Occupant.Parent
	local access = CheckForTool(character)
	
	if (not access) then
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		if (humanoid) then
			wait(0.1)
			humanoid.Sit = false
			humanoid.Jump = true
		end
	end
end)
