Why doesn't the player jump when I make the player jump via script?

When a player drives into a part I have this script (below) activate. One problem, the player does not jump, everything else works fine, just the player does not jump. This is a problem because the player is still technically still in the car and thus cannot move.

Here is the script:

plrname = "roblox"
carname = "string"
vehicle = script.Parent
debounce = true
Instance.new("ObjectValue", script).Name = "vehicle"
local connection
function check(hit, vehicle)
	if debounce == true and plrname == carname and game.Players:FindFirstChild(plrname) and vehicle:FindFirstChild("custom") then
		--debounce = false
		workspace[plrname].Humanoid.Sit = false
		workspace[plrname].Humanoid.Jump = true
		local clone2 = vehicle:FindFirstChild("custom")
		local clone = game.ServerStorage.cars[vehicle.Name]:Clone()
		game.ReplicatedStorage.remoteevent:FireClient(game.Players[plrname], "camera", script.Parent.Parent.camera, script.Parent.Parent.Name, script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name)
		clone.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.building.parking:FindFirstChild("1")
		clone:MoveTo(script.Parent.Parent.building.parking:FindFirstChild("1").Position)
		clone:PivotTo(clone:GetPivot() * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0))
		clone2.Parent = clone
		print(clone.Name)
		clone:FindFirstChild("ingarage").Value = true
		hit.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
		connection:Disconnect()
		wait(5)
		debounce = true
	end
end
connection = script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit and hit.Parent and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		plrname = hit.Parent.Name
		check(hit)
	elseif hit and hit.Parent.Name == "Body" and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("car") then
		--vehicle = hit.Parent.Parent.car.Value
		vehicle = hit.Parent.car.Value
		print(vehicle.custom.Name)
		script.vehicle.Value = hit.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
		carname = vehicle.owner.Value
		check(hit, vehicle)
	end
end)

Here is the problem lines:

workspace[plrname].Humanoid.Sit = false
workspace[plrname].Humanoid.Jump = true

I had to rewrite this script because the old one was horrible, and, while the variable for the player name is different, the old one maes the player jump.

workspace[carname].Humanoid.Sit = false
workspace[carname].Humanoid.Jump = true

No it is not a problem with the variable, the variable is used to reference the player a multitude of other times in the script and it works. The problem lines work out of context, just in context they donā€™t want to work.

I donā€™t know much about thisā€¦ but consider changing your Instance.new() to a local.
EX: local Obj = Instance.new(ā€œObjectValueā€, script)
Obj.Name = ā€œVehicleā€

Try using

Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)

plrname isnā€™t the player ā€¦ that is just a string.
workspace:FindFirstChild(plrname).Humanoid.Sit = false

Also really dislike all the .and .and .and .and added to a command. This kind of stuff makes debugging a program a nightmare. Try to pre-define the relative things up top, this is faster in the loop and more organized and efficient.

Ok, this isnā€™t related to the question but like

Why do you need to make it in the script? Canā€™t you just put an ObjectValue inside the script named vehicle?

sorry but that doesnt work. (character limit)

what

workspace[plrname].Humanoid.Jump = true

does is basically the same as FindFirstChild(), as its finding anything by the name of ā€˜plrnameā€™ inside of workspace.

Sweet, nice and short. Didnā€™t know that. I was more talking about presetting some of them calls and not so much use lines like:

game.ReplicatedStorage.remoteevent:FireClient(game.Players[plrname], "camera",script.Parent.Parent.camera, script.Parent.Parent.Name, script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name)

As that gets hard to debug.
