Roblox Scripting For Beginners
Scripting on Roblox can be hard, especially for beginners. However, in this article, I will break down everything you need to know so that you can get started with scripting on Roblox!
Instead of jumping straight into the advanced scripting on Roblox, you will need to have solid knowledge of the basics. Fortunately, I made a full beginner scripting series for you to watch on YouTube, which should make learning easy. The Roblox Wiki also has some great tutorials for you to read as well as documentation about the latest Roblox updates.
A lot of scripters want to start making super advanced things straight away. What they forget is that scripting is a long process to learn and you can’t grasp it overnight. You have to know the basics before you go any further. This is where a lot of people give up, when they realise scripting takes a while to learn.
However, you shouldn’t give up! Scripting should be fun, not a chore. Just keep experimenting with scripting on Roblox and you’ll get there! Once you have enough knowledge of scripting, you can begin to make your own game which is interactive and fun for users to play. All of the best Roblox games use scripting to make them work, whether that be to make the round script or control in-game purchases.
Get started with some beginner tutorials and you will go far in Roblox scripting!
How To Script A Tool in ROBLOX
Scripting a tool on Roblox can be fun, because there are lots of different properties and variables which you can mess about with. I like scripting tools on Roblox because there are endless possibilities. You can make any type of weapon and you can customise your tools to do anything you want. Getting started on scripting tools can be difficult, however, and in this article I’m going to break down the steps so that you can script your own tool easily with little effort.
It’s best to use a LocalScript when working with tools because we are working on the client and gaining input. The client is the player on your end, on your computer screen. This client interacts with a big computer on Roblox’s end called the Server, but you don’t need to know that yet.
There are four main events which we use when working with tools: Unequipped, Equipped, Activated and Deactivated. Each of these events are able to run certain code when the action has been done. For example, when you equip the tool, you can execute some code. When you Activate the tool by clicking it, you can run some code too.
Unequipped – When the tool is unequipped, code inside the event will run
Equipped – When the tool is equipped, code inside the event will run
Activated – When the screen is clicked during the tool being equipped, the code inside the event will run. Note that if you don’t have the tool equipped, the event will not trigger.
Deactivated – When the mouse click on the screen ends, the code inside the event will run.
Creating an event is easy, all that you have to write is in this little code snippet below. You will obviously substitute in the name of your event depending on which one you want to use, but the rest of the code is the same for each one. You can also change the code inside the event to your needs:
By using these events, you have endless possibilities of what you can do with tools. Each event does something different and it’s interesting seeing them work, so why don’t you jump into Roblox Studio now and experiment with them?
Scripting A Tycoon on ROBLOX
Scripting a tycoon on Roblox can be easy and advanced depending on your skill level. If you’re just a beginner, there are lots of different templates which you can use to start out, but if you’re an advanced scripter, you can even try and make your own tycoon from scratch! This article goes over everything to do with scripting a tycoon, and which templates are the best for you.
A tycoon is a game where you start off with a small business and you make money to expand your business to bigger and better levels. For example, you could have a grocery store tycoon where you take deliveries and sell produce on a market stall, then later on expand into a huge warehouse, making millions of in game currency. The great thing about tycoons is that they are very popular among the Roblox community. You can make a lot of robux from a tycoon because players are willing to spend their Robux in your game whether that be to buy cash or speed up the time of producing something.
You can create a tycoon by importing a kit from the Roblox Library, or you can script one from scratch! However, scripting a tycoon from scratch will take a lot of time, just to set up the mainframe which includes purchasing items and loading them in. The most popular tycoon kits are Berezaa’s Tycoon Kit and Zed’s Tycoon Kit. It is always a good idea to make sure that you have the right version of the tycoon kit so that you don’t have an outdated version which could break your game.
A good thing about these tycoon kits is that they should work with experimental mode turned off on your game, which used to be called having FilteringEnabled. Your game will be much safer and much easier to develop when you use a tycoon kit which is compatible with no experimental mode because it saves you hassle and time.
Once you get started with your Tycoon kit, there will be instructions inside of the model which you can use to help build out your tycoon. Did you know that some of the top tycoons on Roblox were built from kits? For example, 2 Player Gun Factory Tycoon and Mars Invasion Tycoon were built from Berezaa’s tycoon kit!
Personally, I love Roblox tycoons because there’s always something new to unlock every time you go back to play again and the games never get old.
What Language Is Roblox Scripting?
As you may know, computers are programmed to do things in languages. There are lots of different languages in computer programming, such as HTML5 or Python. In Roblox, the language Lua is used. You may not know what Lua is, so this article will explain what it is and how you use it!
Lua is one of the fastest scripting languages out there. Roblox uses a sandboxed version of Lua which prevents malicious code from being run on the client. The current version of this is Lua 5.1. Did you know that Lua was used in making Adobe Photoshop Lightroom? It is the number one scripting language for games across the world.
Lua is used in Roblox to allow developers to make their game more interactive. For example, you can take your game to the next level by making bricks move instead of just having them sit there frozen in your game. There are endless possibilities with Lua on Roblox and the best thing that you can do with it is experiment, if you’re new.
The best place to learn Lua is on my YouTube channel. I teach all of the basics in short, easy to follow along videos which are broken up into different parts and explain them in detail. Another place where you can go for Roblox Lua scripting help and updates about the platform is the Roblox Wiki.
If you have any issues with Roblox Lua scripting and you need support, you can go to the Roblox Scripters Forum, where there are developers online 24/7. You can ask them a question about scripting or paste your code and explain your issue if you have one. There will always be someone online to answer your query.
Have a go with Lua in Roblox Studio and try to make something awesome!
Is Roblox Scripting Hard?
On Roblox, scripting can be difficult for a newcomer to learn. However, there are lots of resources which you can use to pick up scripting at your own pace so that it becomes easier for you. This article goes through most of these resources which you can use to expand your knowledge of scripting.
Often, new scripters on Roblox want to dive straight in and make awesome creations straight away. However, you can’t learn scripting overnight, it is a long process which involves learning the basics first. Most of the advanced scripts on Roblox use a lot of the basic topics which you need to know. I made a full YouTube series teaching you all of the basics of Roblox scripting, which you can watch above.
The Roblox Wiki is also a good place to go if you have any scripting issues or if you are unsure about anything regarding scripting. All of the latest Roblox updates are posted there as well, so it’s always good to check in there to see if there are any updates or things which have become deprecated.
Another place where you can go to get help is the Roblox Scripters Forum. There are thousands of developers on that forum who are willing to help you with any scripting problems. They can even give you a different explanation on how to do something something, so that you might be able to grasp an area of scripting which you didn’t understand before. The best thing about this forum, though, is that they are online 24/7. No matter what time you are online, there will always be some scripters online to help you, because of timezones.
In my opinion, I don’t think scripting is hard once you start learning it. What you have to remember is that all that scripting is, is just telling your computer what to do via instructions. You are the one in control of your computer.
Learning the basics of scripting can be fun, too! Experimenting with your own projects and making funky things is what made scripting fun for me, because it gave me endless possibilities of things that I could make. Don’t give up if it looks too hard, just keep on going and you’ll get there in the end!
