How to sit in roblox without chair

For a little thing I am making.

I've seen click-to-(action) things in the past and thought they were much cooler.

For chairs, I think it's just kind of "buggy" to just walk up to a chair and walk ontop of it to sit. Does anyone have any idea how to work this?

A type of BasePart that a player character can ‘sit’ in. When a character touches an enabled Seat object, it will be attached to the part by a Weld and the default character scripts will play a sitting animation.

How do Seats work?

When a model containing a Humanoid and a BasePart called ‘HumanoidRootPart’ (generally a player character) touches a seat, a Weld is created between the seat and the part. The JointInstance/C0|C0 and JointInstance/C1|C1 properties are configured so that the character is welded 2 studs above the seat. This weld is named ‘SeatWeld’ and parented to the seat.

When sitting the Seat/Occupant property is set to the Humanoid that is ‘sitting’ in the seat. Furthermore the Humanoid/SeatPart property of the humanoid is set to the seat.

A character can also be forced to sit in a seat using the Seat/Sit function.

There are two ways for a character to get out of a seat. When a player jumps, they are removed from the seat. However this can also be done manually by destroying the seat weld, for example:

seat:FindFirstChild("SeatWeld"):Destroy()

Note seats have a cooldown (currently 3 seconds) that is on a per-character per-seat basis. This means once a character has gotten out of a seat they cannot sit back on the same seat for 3 seconds. This cooldown behavior may change and should not be relied upon by developers.

What can Seats be used for?

Seats have a diverse range of uses, ranging from the obvious to the more unconventional.

Creating chairs or benches without the need for any programming
Allowing characters to ‘sit’ in moving objects such as vehicles without getting flung around
Creating interfaces that are controlled by the character in the seat using the Seat/Occupant property
