Getting Started

  1. Download Roblox
  2. Open Roblox Studio
    • Go to "New" and select "All Templates"
    • Choose "Baseplate" to start a new project

Understanding the Interface

  • Workspace:
    • Contains all visible elements in the game
    • Parts placed in "Server Storage" are not visible
  • Explorer, Properties, and Output:
    • Enable these views in the "View" tab to access essential details about your game elements

Basic Features of Parts

  • Inserting a Part:
    • Navigate to the "Home" or "Model" tab and click "Part"
  • Properties of Parts:
    • Brick Color (e.g., Really Blue, New Yellow)
    • Material (Foil, Brick, Concrete, Smooth Plastic)
    • Position and Orientation (using coordinates)

Important Properties

  • Anchored:
    • Keeps the part in place; does not fall due to gravity
  • Can Collide:
    • Determines if the player can collide with the part
    • Can be toggled to allow or disallow interaction
  • Transparency:
    • Adjusts how see-through a part is (0 = opaque, 1 = invisible)
  • Reflectance:
    • Controls how much the part reflects its environment

Scripting Basics

  • Inserting a Script:
    • Click on "Workspace" and use the plus button to add a script
    • Scripts must be in Workspace or Server Script Service to run
  • Printing Output:
    • Use print() to output messages to the console (e.g., print("Hello World"))
