ROBLOX Studio | 7 Pro Tips & Tricks for Advanced Builders #1

[@Andrew-ee2mc]

I’ve been a roblox dev for a while, and I’ve learned most of these from other friends who are also devs and from my journey. The ones I haven’t learned will most likely help me even more in my builds. Thanks dude! I also love your content.

[@lavapalazzo1519]

I'm also trying to become a dev do Know any other channels that can give some information

[@robloxsongids1463]

Do you have any games that u made?

[@Andrew-ee2mc]

Roblox Song IDs No, but I currently dev for a scp group.

[@Andrew-ee2mc]

Chillnax _ I recommend looking at other peoples builds for references, if you wanna get better than practice random building. Stuff like showcase games and the vibe genre. I also recommend using 0.1 increment or 0.5 as a increment, I use it and it makes my builds more even out. 0 studs is for small details and such. You can also use images from google as references. Build stuff you have on your mind. I have a discord, you can contact me if you like, I’m on all the time. Discord: Andrew.#3079

[@StarModelX]

Yeah, Use Ctrl + L to change local to global. (Method Number 4) Also forgot to mention that you should use Increments in method No. 3 (Arching). For better Arching, use "5 in Rotate" and "0.05 for Moving"

[@Evercreeper]

Ayyy I said that too, glad you pinned this.

[@cIoudyy]

@@GamerDogePlaysYT You can already do it, put collisions OFF. and you can change your studs!

[@Evercreeper]

r4m3n selection boxes get in the way when scaling small, I think they meant to ask for a plug-in with studio tools but no selection box

[@TaxFraudBruh]

How do you make the Scale go both ways?

[@iagocity]

@@TaxFraudBruh holding crtl while you resize or with f3x plugin in the resize option clicking both. Also if you mean resize all ways (height, width and long) at the same time it's holding shift while you resize

[@nekoanim]

For 4:32 You can do Ctrl + L and you Will have the same thing as selecting 2 parts For Mac do Command + L It helped me so i Hope this helped for you too! edit: Aw thx for 20 likes, most like ive got so far this year!

[@jackthehacker05]

What?! Thank you! If this works I’m gon be super happy. I’ve been using the double part method for a while now.

[@gator7774]

Thx alot!

[@sophiepowell4523]

If they didn't work for you, then you can hold ctrl with left click mouse after you can see blue lines. Or you can use select click left mouse all parts. I am not sure if you already knew that.

[@audrete6071]

for mac is shift plus click lol

[@bonk-dog]

TYSM

[@Konusu]

Instead of using Gapfill to make arches, May I suggest "Resize Align". It reduces parts for more efficiency.

[@aishe7491]

Whenever I see other people with super advanced models, they are usually made in blender, and blender is so confusing to use. However, your builds inspire me to be more creative with what I have in roblox studio! Also you are so talented this is all very helpful!

[@b_mbyz]

Hey! For global moving(tip 4), you actually can press ctrl + L to change the movement from local to global! So rotated parts can be moved on the global axis :D

[@StarModelX]

thats another thing i forgot to mention but thank you :D

[@enzobrunog]

Yea, like ItzBlueFloofYT said. You can press ctrl + L or command + L if you’re on Mac to turn on global movement without having to insert another part. Btw the tip where you insert a sphere into a cylinders location was really useful! I didn’t know that before.

[@indominiso]

About the first tip, if you worked with a 0.1 increment instead of 0.02 which is stupid it would be much easier to do. About the arch, you could simply use resize align instead of spamming gapfill. To prevent the parts from clipping with each other you could simply make them properly and not put them inside each other.

[@StarModelX]

1.i didn't mention any specific numbers because any good numbers could make it fit 2.it's ok you can use both methods , my method just gives smoothness with the curve 3. i mentioned 3 ways to eliminate z-fighting and that was one of them btw.... ( Check 6:18 )

[@BlobsoR0ck]

This is better than other tutorials i've seen. They get straight to thr point and not blabber on about why you should do it that way.

[@glenn8459]

More tips: use increments in halfs 1, .5, .25, .125 to make it easy to line stuff up. A way to line corners up perfectly on corners with simple math is clone the block, then move the block so the middle of the block is on the edge of the other block you want to rotate about, then turn your block and move it into place. Probably hard to understand but a video would make it clear. There is also plugins that do this easier, which works too

[@StarModelX]

I didn't put that cuz any advanced builder should know about it. Also here is a video... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYSxeZd_bKqBb6s

[@hesterclapp9717]

I find the easiest way to make a curve is by putting another part a long way away but parallel and using the rotate tool to build segments, and then gap fill them together

Not gonna lie ik iam so late for comments but bro you saved my modeling career iam a 2 months modeler i just do simple stuff and sometimes i follow your own tutorials

[@pufferfish96024]

Tip from what I have learned and my experience before not bothering to do it: when you’re searching for an item, all ways check the script of that item, there was loads of red trees I put in my game and somebody had scripted a virus in it, I didn’t know this until I was on my sister account playing the game, and then a random dude join called dememetion or something like that, (I had HD admin in the game) he has admin, when I had never granted him access, he had brooks and all, I went on my main acc and asked his friend, he finally broke loose and told me to look in the trees. This happened again another time. Please don’t make the same mistake as I did heh 😅

[@elizaschuyler8865]

This happens a lot when you use free models, so just make sure to clean the models and get rid of any unneccessary scripts ! This is how I started making my own models, just to avoid any viruses. Thanks for sharing your experiences ! (Sorry if my grammar is bad, I'm only using google translate)

[@keralanews4710]

[@dry6334]

hey, so I have this problem: I dont know and i cant find any scripts of friendly fire. i want my weapons only to damage npc not other players.

[@YourNormalPersonDavi]

Make the script into the startercharacterscript and do this -- While true do wait() script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid").MaxHealth = 100 script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health = 100 end -- well if the gun damage are above 100, sorry cant help you. Don't mention me about your comment didn't mentioned by model creator.

[@metalbray9975]

Or you could just make a team and enable neutral and customize it... sometimes your TeamsFolder is not in your baseplate but you can save your game by copying or save the contents to another game.

[@dry6334]

thank you guys for helping me

[@azilin8717]

I was thinking that maybe you could make an invisible brick hitbox on the NPC and then insert a script to make it so it damages the NPC if a 'bullet' from the gun hits it, but you guys are profesional and I don't even know how to script so my idea probably doesn't make sense lol but just do what they said

[@graphitic5578]

@@YourNormalPersonDavi and also you can do for loops or any other loops

[@bazookabullet101]

Glad to say as building alone for 6 or 7 off-and-on years, I basically discovered all of these myself. What I do to get a moldable sphere is adding a brick part, inserting a "special mesh" object into it, and then choosing "sphere" in it's properties. I haven't used mesh-packs since the old days of using C-frame in game, but maybe it'd be a good idea and would expand the tools for building new things. Someone pointed out that in studio you can press Ctrl+L to fix that local/global movement issue. But one thing that fex *actually* does have up on studio is resizing. Technically you can select a bunch of blocks and resize them all individually at the same time, as opposed to resizing them as a group (last I checked, I don't use fex.) But they'd all have to be aligned the same way, or the direction you want them to be resized. This could be considered a downside at certain times though

You could press control + L to use global moving if you wanted, also for number 5, that is commonly known as v-glitching, if you union both parts then it will stop without needing to change the size, if you don’t want both parts to be unioned. Yes I noticed model creators comment, I did after I wrote this and just don’t feel like deleting it

[@amadonza5181]

Quick tip : For the first tip u can actually use f3x much faster, i build skateparks and stuff so what i do is place a cylinder and then duplicate it go to the plugin f3x click on add mesh select sphere then i make it the size which u can copy from the properties and there we go, also if u wanna make rails and fences u can use the plugin pipes!

At 4:00, if the plugin works with unions, then you can union the sphere and the pipe, and then do the thing.

2:26 F3x has a feature where you press “T” while rotating. A pink marker will appear and you can place it on an edge or a point. Then you can rotate around the edge. It’s the method I use to create arches

[@Araknala]

As a Roblox developer for four years in a row (mainly a scripter) I think that keeping stud increments EVEN should be a NEED. This can allow for much more well designed builds with a very little amount of unneeded/unnecessary lines. Try to keep increments as little as even factors of a stud or whole number sizes (if greater than 1). I know some may use no incrementing and just use by eyeballing it, though I think its more precise (especially when scripting positions and tweening, that it should be made with accuracy, not precision.

[@AirlinerCamera]

Thanks mate, they really did help. I can't thank you enough.

[@thing4826]

Gonna edit this as I watch the video. Okay first tip: How about using the proper grid snap like 1,0.5,0.1,0.05 rather than 0.02... that is a much too small measurement when making most things that need to be precise. Second tip: just scroll down to the part size and resize it that way. If you want very accurate resizing you can do some VERY BASIC math. Third tip: There are some very helpful add-ons for this! One good one I believe was named Archimedes two? (I haven't worked in studio for a bit) Rest of the tips are fantastic!

2:37 you can also just copy the same block and move it up how much you want to than rotate it until you get a circle, glitching is not a problem, just make the block longer or thinner or give it a gap to fill with a plugin called gapfill

[@Torontian]

These tips are great and very helpful! Although I discovered them before this video, I'm glad you're sharing it with others! One thing to take into consideration: on tip No. 5, the first method will automatically reverse the effects and cause clipping IF the player is in a low-graphics setting. That's my ONLY complaint about this video. Everything else I absolutely recommend using.

Possibly just me, but at 1:48 there's a weld on the baseplate that's preventing it from resizing down. Unless you hold Ctrl or Alt to resize models, or you're using a union, this isn't going to happen and it would resize normally

It is important to clarify that if you want to make complex models or with many objects using these methods, it is very likely that the game where you use these models will not be compatible for mobile devices, laptops or desktop computers. If you want to improve performance, it is best to learn how to using blender, which also allows you to achieve shapes that are impossible to achieve in Roblox Studio effectively.
