Just looking at one part of this script … I don’t think you can use true or false with Occupant.

testing …

local seat = workspace:WaitForChild("Seat")
if seat.Occupant == nil then
	print("x")
end

But that works.

Basically seat.Occupant can have 2 values. A nil value where nothing is sat in the seat. Or a value of displaying what is sat in the seat. In your case a player the value of seat.Occupant would be humanoid.

So instead of if randomSeat:GetAttrivute(“occupied”) == false then …
do

local humanoid = randomSeat.Occupant
if humanoid then...

When there is no player in the seat, humanoid will be false and therefor the if statement will be false.

hey klm,
thank u 4 ur response. i figured it out eventually with a bit of help from this post so credits to him but tysm 4 ur help: :slight_smile:

solution:

	local seatOFFSET=CFrame.new(0,2,0)

	game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
		p.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(c)
			local seatFolder = workspace.tableModel.seatFolder
			local hum:Humanoid = c.Humanoid
			local randomSeat = seatFolder:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #seatFolder:GetChildren())]

			if randomSeat:GetAttribute("occupied") == false then
				c:PivotTo(randomSeat.CFrame* seatOFFSET) 
				wait()
				randomSeat:Sit(hum)
				if randomSeat.Occupant then
					randomSeat:SetAttribute("occupied", true)
					randomSeat:SetAttribute("playerName", randomSeat.Occupant.Parent.Name)
				end			
			end	
		end)
	end)
end

You don’t have to manually create a table of all the instances inside of the folder. That’s what :GetChildren() is for.

local randomSeat = seatFolder:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #seatFolder:GetChildren())]
