Transcripts
young little new bird doesn't know
anything about game development but
wants to make his favorite games on the
Roblox platform he reads up on the
Roblox documentation to learn how to
make a game until he hits a roadblock
trying to figure out what the heck a
script is and how a game comes together
and as a result of that he quits on day
one and probably doesn't have a computer
anymore after destroying it out of
frustration and now he can't pursue
making the games he's always wanted to
make oh Newbert becoming a Roblox game
developer doesn't happen overnight
you'll especially have to put in the
time put in the effort and face the
struggles headon when you don't
understand a concept especially in the
world of scripting and programming in
the beginning it can be very difficult
and demotivating to continuously learn
how to become a better Roblox scriptor
when you keep getting faced with error
messages and unintended effects in your
game it's a real struggle most beginners
face when learning how to script on
Roblox which is why I want to make this
playlist to help you reach your goals of
making the games that you want to create
on Roblox my name is brev and I will be
teaching you everything you need to know
to become a great Roblox scriptor I've
been scripting on Roblox for about 7 to8
years and during this time I've made
countless projects that just weren't
successful but one thing that kept me
going throughout all these years was the
desire to learn more and actually have
an interest in the things I was learning
even if I fa challenges when learning
new things especially during times when
I was demotivated and I hope you can
adopt the secret strategy to go through
this journey of becoming a Roblox game
developer as of recording this video I
have have two playlists ready for you to
watch once you finish this beginner
guide the advanced scripting tutorial
guide and the GUI tutorial guide it's
quite a scary journey to go through all
these episodes considering how many
there are now but like I mentioned
becoming a Roblox game developer isn't
easy and so I would like to make the
journey easier for you by having
everything you need to know in these
playlists ranging from the very Basics
to the advanced concepts and accelerate
you to become a pro Roblox scriptor and
game developer in 2024 and with that
being said let's now go ahead and start
making games on Roblox all right so what
you see here is the homepage of the
software called Roblox studio now this
is the software we're going to be using
to create our Roblox games so that we
can upload them to the Roblox website
and so players can actually play your
game that's uploaded to Roblox I'll
leave a link to this in the description
if you want to download Roblox studio so
that you can log in with your account
and then you can be greeted with this
same exact home screen just like you're
seeing in this video now before we do
anything I encourage you to basically
follow exactly what I do step by step so
that you can kind of get a feel for how
to use Roblox studio and you're
experiencing what I'm teaching you while
you follow through with these videos
because just watching me go through
these tutorial videos isn't going to be
enough to help you learn so that's why I
encourage you to literally do exactly
what I do as you watch these videos to
follow along and learn from doing it
yourself as well so now that we've
gotten that out of the way once we are
here inside of this home screen uh
Roblox has a bunch of templates that we
can choose from as a starter place to
start making our Roblox games for the
purpose of this tutorial guide we're
going to use this Bas plate template
right here I'm just going to click on
this and then what's going to happen is
Roblox is going to load in this template
that we just selected and now we are
thrown into this world that we can now
mess around with to create our Roblox
game and upload it onto the platform now
there are a couple of things here that I
want to introduce to you so that you get
a feel for how Roblox Studio works
because that's our goal for this first
episode it's to familiarize ourselves
with using Roblox studio and some of the
things that they have to offer and the
first thing I want to show you is being
able to navigate around this 3D world
that you see right here that represents
our Roblox game so I want you to imagine
you're playing Roblox on PC the controls
You' probably use are W and for the keys
and also the mouse as well so it kind of
works the same way here as well so if we
hold W that's going to move our camera
forward if we hold s that's going to
move our camera backwards if we hold a
that's going to go left and then D
that's going to go right and if we want
to move the camera specifically then
what we can do is hold the right Mouse
button and then drag our Mouse around
the world so that we can change our
camera to face a certain direction and
we can combine these movements together
so that we're able to move around Studio
as we so desire to uh some other things
we can do is hold Q to make our uh
camera go down and then hold e to make
our camera go up and we can even use the
scrolling wheel to scroll outward and
also scroll inward as well so these are
some basic movement controls that I will
um introduce to you for this episode and
maybe go through some more later down
the line but that's like the basics of
being able to move around inside of
Roblox studio so now there are some some
windows that I want to show you that are
going to be very important for the
entirety of this tutorial guide the
first one is this Roblox Studio ribbon
up here that basically shows all of the
resources and services that they have
provided to us so that we can use them
for our Roblox game so right now we're
in the home category so if we select a
different tab like model then it's going
to show us a bunch of different things
here that we can use and if we go to
Avatar uh it's going to show some
different stuff test view plugins and
all these other sorts of things that are
going to be very helpful for us now
another window that's extremely
important to understand is What's called
the Explorer as you can see right here
on the right side you can see that
there's all of these different folders
inside of here with different names and
I'm going to try and give a brief
explanation as to what this all means
well to basically summarize what the
Explorer is it's basically a directory
full of folders that have its own
specific purposes where you combine all
of them together to make up one Roblox
game so every single Roblox game you can
think of basically has this structure
right here with all of these different
folders with different purposes that you
will need to learn how to use as a
Roblox game developer so one of the ones
uh as an example is called workspace uh
workspace is what basically shows us the
entire 3D World and this is how we're
able to render things inside of this
game screen it's when we put objects
inside of this workspace folder now if
we were to open up this workspace folder
so if we click on this Arrow that's um
to the left of it then we can see that
there's actually stuff contained within
this workspace folder so we have the
camera terrain spawn location base plate
and things like that and if we open
these up we can see that there's other
stuff in here contained within the thing
that's within the workspace so you can
kind of see that there's this hierarchy
structure going on uh with this
workspace
and it's very important to understand
the structure when you're working with
finding stuff within your game and so
it's a really good practice to
understand how this structure works now
if I were to select one of these objects
like let's say the workspace uh we can
see that down here uh it showed a bunch
of things in this uh other window called
properties now this is the next window
that is going to be extremely important
to understand so basically what this
window does is it shows all of the the
properties the attributes the settings
or configurations whatever you want to
describe it as uh for the objects that
we selected so what we selected is this
workspace object and there's all these
properties here um that are associated
with that object that we can actually
change ourselves um and if we select a
different objects like let's say the
spawn location it's going to show
different properties for this spawn
location object and we can actually
change it and see the change in real
time inside of our game so if we were to
let's say change um the color let's say
so if I click on the color then it's
going to show us this color wheel right
here that we can just pick whichever
color we want so if I were to let's say
pick this color and I hit okay then it's
going to change the color in real time
and we can actually see this change
inside of Roblox studio so that's kind
of a cool thing to know about uh when it
comes to understanding the properties
window and also the Explorer window and
how both of them work together to
basically um have stuff inside of our
workspace and now the next thing I want
to demonstrate is being able to add
parts inside of the game so I'm actually
going to deselect the spawn location by
simply selecting anywhere inside of this
world uh just like that and what I'm
going to do is go on the top ribbon and
click on this part button that's inside
of the insert category so I'm going to
click this and as you can see Roblox has
inserted a part for us to use and what I
can do is take this part hold left click
and drag it wherever I want to put it
inside of the workspace now there are
other tools that I want to introduce to
you that you might find extremely
helpful so we're able to select this and
move it around and this is what's called
the select tool as you can see up here
um on the screen the next tool is called
move so if we select this then we can
see these arrows that are surrounding
this part so if we hold this blue arrow
and then move it this way then it's
going to move the part in this specific
Direction and we can do the same thing
for the red arrow and we can do the same
thing for the Green Arrow as well
another thing we can do is change the
size of this part by clicking on this
scale tool so if we scale this part this
way then it's going to move it in this
direction and the last tool is the
rotate tool so if we select this then we
can see that this basically resembles a
bunch of circles we select whichever
Circle we want and then we move it in
that direction specifically so I'm kind
of just moving this part around a little
bit and that is basically how you use
the rotate part now once again I want to
deselect this so I'm just going to click
elsewhere like this and now we have a
part that basically just does absolutely
nothing but uh what I wanted to get out
here was uh getting the feel and
practice for moving around Roblox studio
and also adding Parts into the game so
that's basically the introduction to
using Roblox studio now at the end of
every single video for this playlist
what I want to do is give you a learning
objective or a challenge um to assess
what you learned inside of each video
now for this learning objective what I
want you to do is basically just
continue to experiment with Roblox
Studio either e by moving around inside
of the workspace or by adding more parts
like this so I'm actually going to go up
here and I'm going to insert another
part and we can do whatever we want with
it by I don't know changing the brick
color changing the size if we select the
scale tool just like this and you know
things like that you can even navigate
through more settings over here and
that's another great way of
familiarizing yourself with Roblox
studio and once you are done with this
learning objective I want you to go down
to the comments of this video and
describe what you did for for this
learning objective so that other people
who watch this tutorial can see what
other people have been doing and I think
it would just be a really great way to
show what everybody else is doing for
these challenges now before we end off
this video there's one final thing I
forgot to mention and that is the
importance of saving your work so that
you don't lose your progress so what we
can do is go on the top left here in
file and we're going to click save to
file as and it's going to show up our
file directory right here and you can
just pick wherever you want to save this
Roblox Studio place in so I'm just going
to pick this place you can even rename
it to whatever you want to I'm just
going to say beginner scripting guide to
2024 just like that and I'm going to hit
enter and there we go now our place is
saved and I encourage you to save your
game uh very frequently so that you
don't lose progress as you go through
this tutorial guide so that's pretty
much going to be it for this episode and
I will see you in the next episode take
care
