Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Hey developers, I’m trying to make a system where if a player sits on a VehicleSeat then they are given a tool, but the it isn’t giving them the tool, please help!

Script;

local Player

seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(function()
	local Char = seat.Occupant
	Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Char)
	print("New player")
end)

while true do
	if Player then
		local FindTool = Player.Backpack:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Tool")
		if FindTool and FindTool.Name == "Paddle" then
			print("having tool")
			if FindTool.Equipped == true then
				UsingTool = true
				print("using tool")
			else
				UsingTool = false
				print("not using tool")
			end
		else
			game.ServerStorage.Paddle:Clone().Parent = Player.Backpack
			print("not having tool")
		end
	end
	task.wait()
end

You are trying to get the player here, but the game will consider it nil on other functions

But I have the variable above the function so that way everything can use it, or at least I thought that was how it works.

Try this:

local Player

function Occupant()
local Char = seat.Occupant
	plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Char)
if plr then
	print("New player")
     return game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Char)
end
end

Player = Occupant()

seat:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Occupant"):Connect(Occupant)


-- Rest of the Code

I got this Example by testing this:

local Player -- Misleading Variable

function A()
	local i = 20
	if i == 20 then
		return 20 + 1 -- 21
	end
	
end

Player = A()

print(Player) -- Prints "21" due to the function returning it

This Should transfer the data to the Variable so it isnt lost
I am dumb tho so i may be wrong

This works partially, I have found that the occupant isn’t actually the character, it is the humanoid, meaning it needs to be occupant.Parent.
