How do you script on Roblox?

Answer 1

You have to learn Lua first. The best place to learn is from the Roblox Wiki. My favorite article is 'The Absolute Beginners Guide to Scripting'. It is very helpful. You can also learn Lua from Lua reference manuals. Yet another way you can learn is by dissecting free models and looking over the scripts inside, trying to understand what the script does. But be careful when using free models, for they can infect you place and completely destroy it. (Note: Infecting scripts do not effect you computer, only your game on Roblox) To insert a new script, click Tools in the top left corner, a whole bunch of tools will pop up at the top of your screen. Then, go to the top of your screen, and click the Insert. Next, click Object. A window will appear in the middle of the screen. Find Script, click it, then click Ok.

Also there are many websites out there made specifically for learning Roblox Lua. To see one of the better but incomplete sites out there look at the related links.

it only work if your 13 and over or clik edit profile Go into Roblox Studio. Go into build or edit mode on your game. Click 'Insert' then 'Object' then browse until you see 'Script', click it then click ok. Now that the script is created, you can start coding in it by double clicking it in the explorer tab. Here is an example script: game.Workspace["YOUR NAME"].Head:Remove()

Scripting is hard, complicated and is just not as simple as the rest of roblox gameplay. I believe the roblox wiki sucks if your new to scripting, the way they wrote it was as if they thought you were as good as they were at scripting, but you forgot how to scrit, they used terms you wouldn't ever have heard about.

Hello to be able to script you have to learn a few basics they can be found here

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Scripting

You might also want to use LUA

here: http://www.lua.org/

Lua is much simpler than anything else or you can always either watch a vid on YouTube etc or search under Models in Roblox

Hope this helped

P.S. Just get a script from free models and then improve it and say it's yours.

Answer 5

the easy way to do this is to find a model or script in free models or learn how to type one like if you want to get an AK-47 you either type in the crud to make it give it to you or get it on free models

u gotta do different things for different scripts but in my script builder u'd have to put a script/ befor the script...

u would do "script/game" to make a script that changes somethings properties like the reflectance or transparency of a brick....

i would have to say "script/game.Workspace.Base.Reflectance = 8" to get the base to be shiny. I would say workspace bcuz that's what all bricks are inside of so after workspace i say the brick i want to change (the base) to tell what i want to change then reflectance because that's one of the properties of the base and then the ammount of shininess i want it to be... if u wanted to make the base invisible u would say transparency not reflectance... to make it walk through i would say CanCollide = false in stead of the reflectance = 8

to chang the size is... "Size = Vector3.new(10, 10, 10)" if u want to make it bigger then make the #s larger....... if u wanna change something with a mesh, or something that is not square, then say BRICK NAME.Mesh.Scale = Vector3.new(10, 10, 10) and don't leave out the game.Workspace

That's pretty simple stuff but its a start. If u want more coplicated ones then make a new question and be specific.

Open Roblox Studio and load the place you want to insert the script into. Then under insert(The tab at the top not the insert window) click on insert object. Select "script" and submit to insert a script into the Workspace.

Answer 9

First open the Roblox studio. Then on the taskbar click insert > object > Script. Then you can script whatever you want, check out the Roblox Wiki for some tips and tutorials.
