(SOLVED) How do you make a click e to sit like in jailbreak?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Now I assume this is scripting with a key down script. I have not been able to find how this was done. Can someone let me know. Thanks from John.

Here’s an example using the ContextActionService, which will allow you to bind actions cross-platform a little easier:

function SitRequest(name, state, input)
	
	if (state ~= Enum.UserInputState.Begin) then return end

	-- Check if close enough to vehicle.
	-- If so, sit in the seat.

	-- Example:
	local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local seat = someSeat
	if (player.Character and player:DistanceFromCharacter(seat.Position) < 30) then
		seat:Sit(player.Character.Humanoid)
	end

end

game:GetService("ContextActionService"):BindAction(
	"Sit",
	SitRequest,
	false,
	-- Inputs to listen to:
	Enum.KeyCode.E,
	Enum.KeyCode.ButtonX
)

Note that the example above isn’t necessarily game-ready. You might want a single binding that will do this for all the vehicles in your game. In that instance, you could loop through all the vehicles to see which one is closest. That would be a passive system. If you want an active system, you might even keep a continuous record of which vehicle is closest, and then use that vehicle in the SitRequest function. But that would require a lot more code. You could technically use FindPartsInRegion3 too, but I would find that a bit overkill, since checking distances between objects is really easy.

How do I detect when a player pressed E and is near an object efficiently?
Find closest specific object to player?

Ok thanks! :open_mouth: its Crazyman32 I enjoyed your Ro Port Tycoon!

To make it easier to check the “Vehicles” and their distance use CollectionService for the parts that contain the BillboardGui (if you’re using one) or a main part of the vehicle. You can use this tutorial:

and re-do some of the code to fit with what you’re trying to do. Such as detect the distance, then the input. It can all be done locally, as it should be when working with User Inputs, and if you’re working with FilteringEnabled (which I highly recommend :smile:)
If you use the following example, the localscript should be put in StarterCharacterScripts, and change “InputTriggerBrick” to whatever the tag name is.

----- Services -----
local cs = game:GetService('CollectionService')
local cas = game:GetService('ContextActionService')
local uis = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local rs = game:GetService('RunService')
----- Player Stuff -----
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until player.Character
local char = player.Character
---- Variables -----
local data = {}
local bricks = {}
local canInput = false
local closestPart
----- Functions -----
local function sitRequest()
	--[[
		INSERT CRAZYMAN32'S CODE HERE
	--]]
	if closestPart then
		if closestPart.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Really red") then
			closestPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey")
		elseif closestPart.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey") then
			closestPart.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
		end
	end
end
local function closestTrigger()
	for _, part in pairs(cs:GetTagged("InputTriggerBrick")) do
		local distance = (part.Position - char.PrimaryPart.Position).magnitude
		local closePartDistance
		if closestPart then
			closePartDistance = (closestPart.Position - char.PrimaryPart.Position).magnitude
		end
		if distance <= 5 then
			print('Close Part: ', part.Name)
			if uis.TouchEnabled then
				part.InputGui.InputText.Text = "[ TAP ]" --- InputGui is the billboard INSIDE the trigger part.
			elseif uis.MouseEnabled then
				part.InputGui.InputText.Text = "[ E ]" --- InputText is a TextLabel inside InputGui
			end
			local gamepads = uis:GetConnectedGamepads()
			if #gamepads >= 1 then
				part.InputGui.InputText.Text = " [ X ]"
			end
			part.InputGui.Enabled = true 
			canInput = true
			closestPart = part
			print('Can Input: ', canInput)
		elseif distance > 5 then
			part.InputGui.Enabled = false
			if closePartDistance then
				if closePartDistance < distance then
					return
				end
			end
			canInput = false
			closestPart = nil
			print('Can Input: ', canInput)
		end
	end
end
----- Code -----
rs.RenderStepped:connect(function()
	closestTrigger()
end)

uis.InputBegan:connect(function(input, gameEvent)
	if gameEvent then return end
	if not canInput then return end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
		sitRequest()
	elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X then
		sitRequest()
	end
end)
uis.TouchTap:connect(function()
	if not canInput then return end
	sitRequest()
end)

If you want, I could also make a short tutorial video on how to do this. I would utilize the CollectionService as @Eventive mentioned. I feel like this would benefit a lot of users. It could be a single LocalScript that could be dropped into the StarterCharacterScripts folder.

I bet it could benefit new users as well! I say if you have the time, go for it. :slight_smile:

I did it. It’s 40 minutes long omg. It doesn’t cover mobile support or changing the label dynamically though. Oops. Whatever, I guess it’s a good start.

Edit: Made a shorter version that just summarizes the code:
