In this easy roblox scripting tutorial for absolute beginners, you’ll learn how to script new objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, you’ve been thinking of getting into Roblox scripting, but it’s been difficult for you to take the first step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take that first step together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s an easy Roblox Scripting tutorial for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we get started with this article, make sure that you have Roblox Studio downloaded<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re confused about how to download Roblox Studio, check out this article.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, you should be on the Baseplate of Roblox Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Roblox Scripting?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roblox scripting is when you write code that Roblox understands to make your game work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s say you wanted to create a game where you arrest criminals, and you wanted the system to work where you can press E and it’ll arrest a nearby criminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This entire system would be scripted by a Roblox scripter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy Scripting Tutorial For Beginners<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, let’s get started with our first script in this easy Roblox scripting tutorial for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by clicking the “View” button on top of Roblox Studio and clicking on the “Explorer” and “Properties” buttons on the top left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This will enable you to see the two windows on the right side. Make sure that they’re selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Explorer Window in Roblox Studio?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Explorer window shows you all of the objects in your game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’d like to learn more in-depth about the Explorer window, check out this article.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you click on the little arrow to the left of Workspace, you can see all of the objects in our 3D world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The SpawnLocation is the object where the players in your game will spawn at when they first enter your game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to get rid of it because it will cause some issues when we write our first script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for the SpawnLocation on your Explorer window, click it, and press delete to get rid of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And your SpawnLocation will be gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, you might be worried that your character won’t spawn without a SpawnLocation. Don’t worry! Roblox will automatically spawn the character in the center of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving on, the Baseplate is the big gray checkered object. You can think of the Baseplate like a really large gray lego block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let’s add our first script into Roblox Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Explorer, look for the ServerScriptService section and click on the little “plus” sign next to it. ServerScriptService is essentially where you’re going to put all of your scripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then, search for the word “Script” and click on the white script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Adding<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You will immediately see a text editor with the words print(\"Hello, world!\")<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A Roblox Scripting Keyword to Create New Objects<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can delete it, and replace it with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instance.new(\"Part\", workspace)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This line of code basically tells Roblox “Add a new Part into workspace”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Instance.new<\/code> means “I want to add something new”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \"Part\"<\/code> means “I want to add a Part”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The workspace<\/code> means “I want it to be added into the Workspace section of Roblox Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, all the way on the top left of Roblox Studio, you will see a blue play button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Click it to begin testing your game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Roblox will now simulate your game, and beneath you is….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Your<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The Part that the script created!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We told Roblox to create a Part and place it inside of workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that’s exactly what it did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you’re done admiring your work of art, click on the red stop button to stop testing your game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Scripting a WedgePart<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now, go back into your Script and change the word “Part” to the word “WedgePart.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
And click on that happy blue play button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suddenly, your character is now on a different type of Part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
