How To Make A Roblox Game - In 20 Minutes

In this post I'm showing you how to
make a roblox game fast we're gonna be
creating an obstacle style game which
you can create with roblox to do publish
for free and play with your friends
let's get started welcome to my channel
my name is Alvin blocks and I am all
about how can you learn to make awesome
games and on robux on roblox  if you're interested
as I have a lots more videos like this
well today we're gonna be learning how
to create an obstacle course in under 20
minutes so let's get started
so first thing that you're gonna need to
do is install roblox studio now to do
that there will be a link in the
description you need to go to roblox
cocom slash create once you're there
click on the start creating button and
that's going to check if you have roblox
studio installed now if you do it should
automatically start but if not it will
walk you through the process of getting
it installed now once you have roblox
studio opened we're gonna select the
baseplate template this is all we're
gonna need to create our obstacle course
from scratch now I'm gonna give you a
quick overview of roblox studio and how
you can use it so roblox studio is a
powerful tool which you use to create
roblox games every game on the platform
uses it and it's got loads of features
which allow you to build and code so
we're gonna need to open up a few panels
and I'm gonna give you a quick guide of
them before we start these panels are
going to be the Explorer window which is
over here the properties window and the
toolbox now if you don't see any of
these windows to open up the toolbox
click on home and blend you will see the
button here to open it and close it and
also the same goes for the Explorer
window and the properties window you can
open and close them by going to the View
tab and then clicking on Explorer and
properties so what do we use these for
so the Explorer is used to show
everything that's in your game world so
if we open up the workspace here you can
see we have a base plate and we can use
the properties tab down here to change
what it looks like and how it acts when
the game is running so for example its
color the tool box over here is used to
insert a models created by other people
so for example we could drag in a tree
like this and there's loads of different
models which you can use when it creates
your own game but today we're gonna be
creating our obstacle course completely
from scratch with parts we're gonna be
using the part tool and the four main
tools to edit apart
select move scale and rotate so let's
get started with our obstacle course I'm
going to select this baseplate in the in
the game here now when I select it I'm
going to set the color back to grey like
this for now now what I'm going to do is
I'm gonna scroll down to where it says
size and I'm going to set it to 20 studs
by two studs by 20 studs this just means
that the size of the base plate will be
20 studs you see one stood here 20 on
this axis 20 on this axis but it's only
going to be two studs high like this so
this is gonna be our spawn area where
our players are going to get teleported
to when they join or if they reset so
I'm gonna change this now to be C green
okay you can color it whatever you want
and I'm also going to click on surface
down here in the properties window and
I'm going to set top surface to smooth
once you've done that I'm gonna give it
a name I'm just gonna call it base and
set a base plate and I'm going to click
on it and I'm going to right click and
duplicate this is gonna create a clone
of the pot so now we can just drag it
and you can see we have two one on top
of the other now I'm gonna resize this
part by using the scale tool so click
scale and then drag the red circle to
make it two studs then I'm gonna use the
Move tool to drag it away and create a
border on the outside of this base part
then I can change the brick color to
black now all I have to do is duplicate
again by pressing ctrl D or command D
and then just move it along to the other
side like this we can do the same thing
again duplicate it and this time we're
gonna need to rotate it for this side of
the pot so you can either use the rotate
tool like this or you can press ctrl R
and that will rotate it 90 degrees now
we can move it to the side of the face
and drag it down and we're just gonna
resize it so that now we start to see
this black border on the side of our
part so let's duplicate it again by
pressing ctrl D or command D and we're
going to use the Move tool to
move it over to the other side just like
that there we go we've created our spawn
area let's select these parts here these
border parts you can't select them in
the game you have to select them in the
Explorer that's because they're locked
so you don't have to have them locks I'm
going to turn locks off for now and you
can see now that we've unchecked the
locks property we can select them so
select the borders and the base and make
sure that anchored is set to true
anchored basically means whether the
part is gonna stay in the air or whether
it's gonna fall to the ground now we
want this to be stuck in a fixed
position so we're gonna keep anchored
set to true now that we've done that
we're gonna need to create a spawn part
which is where our player is going to be
teleported to when they join the game so
click on the module tab and click on
spawn let's drag it down onto our base
and I'm gonna use the scale tool to make
it a little bit smaller I'm gonna click
on the green circle I'm gonna hold down
shift and this will just make sure that
when we resize it it keeps the ratio for
each axis but I'm gonna click on the
model first and where it says move I'm
just gonna turn this off okay this
allows us to have no snapping we can
move it with no increment so we can move
it wherever you want and now I hold down
shift and I scale down in the spawn part
and now we can just drag it on to our
spawn area and I'm gonna delete this
decal this image on top of the spawn
just by clicking on top I'm gonna click
on delete there we go we've just created
our spawn area now let's create our
first obstacle some rainbow jumps let's
insert a part I'm gonna turn snap to
grid back on and I'm gonna set it to one
stood and with this part I'm just gonna
drag it so it goes against this black
border I'm gonna scale it down so it's
the same depth and I'm gonna scale it
across like this next I'm just gonna
move it away from the border I'm gonna
make sure that it's anchored so it
doesn't fall out of the sky and we're
gonna use the scale tool to make it a
little bit bigger like that okay
I'm gonna give it a color let's do red
for now and then I'm going to select it
and I'm gonna duplicate it again I'm
gonna right click and press duplicate or
ctrl D and I'm gonna move it across with
the move tool now if you want to quickly
access these tools select move scale and
rotate
you can press down control or command if
you're on a Mac and press either 1 2 3
or 4 for each tool 3 is for scale
2 is for move one is for selects and 4
is for a rotation so I'm going to move
this part along and I'm gonna duplicate
again and just keep making these jumps
which go higher and higher a bit like a
staircase now once you've got enough you
can start but I'm just going to take
three more and duplicate them all at
once by selecting them and also I'm just
going to make sure they all look good
like that okay so now I've got my jumps
we can start curling them differently so
I'm gonna use this color tool up here
we're gonna click on this arrow I'm
gonna make sure that color action is
tool is selected that allows us to paint
a loads of bricks at once so selects a
color and then make sure that you
selected the color tool and then you'll
see this paint bucket this allows us to
quickly select a color so I'm gonna
select green light blue dark blue and
we'll have a pink and we'll finish off
with a purple just like this so there we
go we have just created our own rainbow
jumps so we're gonna select all of these
parts by dragging click holding down the
left mouse button and dragging so
they're selected and we're going to ctrl
+ G or command G alternatively right
click and click on group this is gonna
put them all in the model so that we can
move them all around at once and that we
can organize all of our parts in the
game I'm gonna give this model a name of
jumps there we go next what we're going
to need to do is clone this spawn area
and turn it into a checkpoint which we
can put over here but first let's group
together all of the parts which are in
our spawn as well so we're gonna select
them we're going to then group them and
I'm going to call this checkpoint so now
we've got two models one for our spawn
area and one for our rainbow jumps I'm
gonna go and clone this checkpoint I'm
going to duplicate it so right-click
duplicate and there we go we have now
got another spawn point or a checkpoint
now because we don't want our players to
spawn at the second level we want them
to spawn back at the start we're gonna
remove this spawn point for now we only
want the spawn points to be at the start
in a future video we will add
checkpoints so that you don't have to go
back to the start every time that you
die but now that we've got our second
check
in here what we can do is create our
second obstacle let's create some lava
jams so lava jumps are bricks which the
player will have to jump over and if
they touch the lava brick they will die
and go back to the start so I'm gonna
select the white color and I'm going to
click on paths this is gonna insert
another part for us and we can just drag
it over here so it's touching the
checkpoint now because they're gonna
have to jump over the lava jumps we're
gonna want to have a base so this is
gonna be our base where we're gonna put
the lava jumps on top of I'm using the
scale tool to make it a little bit
bigger and so there's enough room for us
to put all of our jumps on so let's make
sure it's anchored and it doesn't fall
out of the sky and I'm going to change
the name to base now we just need to
insert another part and this will be our
lava jump so make sure it's scale was
the entirety of the base and that it's
high enough so that people have a
challenge when jumping over it I'm gonna
make it a little bit shorter like that
there we go
and I'm gonna move it along here but
because it's lava we want it to be shiny
and red so let's change the brick color
property to a nice red color I'm gonna
change the material to neon this will
make it stand out and it looks as if
it's lit up so now that we've got our
lava brick we to make it kill the player
make sure it's anchored so it doesn't
fall out the sky or it doesn't start
moving around if someone touches it and
let's name it the lava so how do we make
it clear the player well we need to do
scripting scripting allows you to bring
your parts to life it allows things to
happen when you don't have to control
them it allows you to tell the game what
to do and it will do it for you so make
sure that you right-click cover over
into object and click scripts once
you've got your script in the game we
can start by writing some simple code
now we're gonna need to do a touched
event which detects when someone touches
the brick so we can say script up parent
which is the part of the larva brick
because the script parent is this lava
here doctor that's the name of the event
in which we're waiting to see waiting to
see if something touches it curl on
connect and then we say function and I'm
gonna do a pair of parenthesis and drop
a line like this and roblox should add
this end with a closing bracket on it
now inside of this bracket we're going
to
a parameter now a parameter is some data
that gets passed to this scripts
whenever something happens so for
example when someone touches this brick
with the script we'll know what hit what
hit the part okay
and so in this case we're calling it hit
so we need to check to see if hit is
natural player so say if hit dot parent
come on find first child humanoid then
we know that it is a player that touched
it and it's not anything else like a
brick might have touched it we don't
want that to kill itself we only want to
kill a player so we can say hits dot
parents curl on break joints and what
break joints does is it basically any
joints in the player such as like back
joints or neck joints will be broken and
the player will fall apart so they
basically die and they will have to be
respawned so we're checking if something
touches the brick and hit is whatever
touched it and if that's hit is a player
if it has a humanoid object in it which
only players have then we're gonna break
its joints and it's going to die so
let's go and test this out let's go and
con this arrow where it says play and
click on play here so that we spawn on
this checkpoint and if we touch the lava
brick you can see our joints break and
all of our body parts they fall apart so
we die and we get respawn back to the
start so now what we can do is keep
pressing ctrl D to duplicate them and we
can just add a couple onto this base
like this
next we're gonna take our checkpoint
model again we're gonna duplicate it and
we're gonna move it over here and now we
can quote our next obstacle which is
gonna be a choose path now you might not
have heard of these before there are
three paths and you have to choose the
correct one two of them basically if you
walk on them you're gonna fall straight
through them and fall to your death but
one of them is going to be at the
correct path so you're gonna need to
choose wisely so what we're gonna do is
we're gonna take at this base again
which we have and we're going to just
duplicate it let's move it over here and
just position it down so it's touching
the checkpoint and now we're gonna just
make it a little bit shorter because
we're gonna have our choose path so
we're gonna insert three more bricks
three bricks for each path so this is
gonna be our first path let's just make
it wide enough like this we're gonna
need to make it small enough so that the
base can fit three parts we're gonna
duplicate and we're gonna move it across
and chip it again and move this one down
like that so we now have three paths now
we're gonna give each path a different
color so this path could be yellow this
path can be purple and this one can be
blue so we now need to select which path
is going to be the correct one so we're
gonna have to have two of them which the
player will fall straight through and
one which will which will work so I'm
gonna select these two paths on each
side and these are going to be the paths
that don't work so we're going to go to
this kanka like property and we're going
to make it unchecked when can collide is
unchecked it means that nothing will
collide with a brick it will just fall
straight through it so the player is
gonna fall straight through the purple
one and the yellow one now we're gonna
do we're gonna actually keep can collide
set to true on the blue one but we're
gonna select all of our paths and make
sure that anchored is set to true so
they don't fall out of the sky now let's
clone our base again and we'll clone the
checkpoint but whilst we're just here
let's take our current obstacles that we
have so we'll select the base and the
three choose paths and we will group
these together and we'll call this model
choose path just that everything's
organized and each path I will
call that a path instead of parts like
that and let's just go back to our lava
jumps here and click and drag to select
all of our lava bricks and the base okay
so now we can just ctrl G to group them
and I'm gonna call this lava and jumps
okay so now we have grouped everything
together it looks really nice and
organized let's create our final
obstacle this is going to be some bull
jumps so a bit like the rainbow jumps
but the player would have to jump on
some balls so let's insert a part so
we're gonna click on the arrow and click
on sphere then we're gonna hold down
shift again and click on the green
circle on the scale tool and just scale
them up and we will just position them
in the middle here and what we can do is
we can duplicate now instead of having
the bricks duplicate on top of each
other you can click on collisions over
here and that will mean that they don't
collide with each other so they're going
to be duplicated in the same place so we
can just drag them apart like this okay
one two three four and we'll do one more
and what I'll also do is just take a
couple of them and move them from side
to side so it's a little bit more
challenging and then we can go back to
the model model tab and use the color
action as tool over here so we can do
one as red one as green blue a pink one
an orange one so there we go that's our
final obstacle completes let's make sure
that they're all anchored and we're
gonna just group them together and we're
gonna call them balls now I'm just gonna
make sure each part is also called ball
so we know what they all are and there
we go we've finished our obstacle course
now let's just add our final winner
section we're gonna duplicate one of
checkpoints and let's move it along
again like this but because it's the
winner zone we're gonna make it a little
bit bigger so we're gonna use what we've
learnt we're gonna hold down shift and
then we're gonna use the scale tool on
the yellow circle to make it a little
bit bigger like this then I'm just gonna
make sure that it's able to be jumped on
from the final block and there we go we
have completed our obstacle course in
under 20 minutes now I'm gonna show you
how to publish your game to roblox so
that you can play it with your friends
so you're gonna want to click on file
then click on publish to roblox as and
then it will load up your places
click on creating you and we're gonna
call it my avi or you can call it
whatever you want make sure that you you
select public on privacy and also you
can take a snapshot for a thumbnail
click on ok it's gonna take a snapshot
and also you can change some details
here about your game their maximum
amount of players that you can have I
will set that to 40 but it's up to you
whether you want the IP servers enabled
or whether you want to sell your game
but we just keep keep this at default
right now I'm gonna click on create
place once you've done that it's gonna
create the game for you it's gonna
upload your place and when you click on
next you'll be taken to this link so
take this link right click copy it and
click on done then head to your web
browser and just paste the link right in
there and it's gonna take you to your
game alternatively you could go to
create and you'll see it there but we
can click on play and we will be able to
play our own roblox and game so here we
go waiting for a server and join in and
there we go this is what we've just
created in roblox to do in our own game
look we can chat we can II danced we can
do everything so let's try it out and
make sure it works and that there's no
bugs or anything if you can't complete
your office of course so you might need
to go back and fix it so that it's
easier for the players so I'm gonna go
back over here and I'm just gonna move
this a little bit closer to the green
one like that there we go
so we can republish again by going to
file and publish to roblox this time we
already have it published so we're going
to publish it to another game we're just
updating it and we can head back in I've
just added some fixes I've made the some
of the obstacles a little bit closer
together so that we won't we won't be
able to fall off them we don't want them
to be impossible because if they were
then our players wouldn't like that and
they would start down voting our game we
don't want to get thumbs down so you
want to make sure that you keep testing
your game before you launch it and
testing out new updates so that you know
that everything works perfectly because
that way you can have a great game that
people love
alright so on to the balls again I see
if we can do them this time onto the
green one
there we go on to the blue one on to the
pink one and the final one the orange
one there we go
boom boom boom we have completed our own
obstacle course so there we go we're in
the winner section now think of some
things that you might want to add to the
winners section you could add for
example a little sign which says
congratulations or you could add some
things from the tool box as well if you
wish so there's lots to experiment with
with your first robots game but there
you go in 20 minutes you've just learned
