The Basics of Roblox studio

Let us learn the basics of Roblox studio in this section. Roblox offers designers many powerful tools which they can use to create games.

Now we will see how to shape objects and parts using the functions Move, Scale, and Rotate. 

• Move

Click on the move option at the top to move your objects anywhere (Up, Down, Right, or Left)

• Scale

The Scale option is used to resize parts that change the size of your objects.

• Rotate

Rotate option is used to rotate your objects to any degree.

• Toolbox

Click on the toolbox which allows you to search and use in-built models, images, meshes, audio, videos, and plugins as shown in the images below.

• Part

You can insert shapes such as Block, Sphere, Wedge, and Cylinder by clicking on the Part.

• Windows

We have two important windows called Explorer and Properties windows. These windows are useful to make changes to the different parts you place on the screen.

The Explorer window contains a workspace that has all the parts or objects that we use in the game and in the server script service we have to write the script for the game. 

The scripting language used in Roblox is called Lua, a powerful language to make games.

The Properties window is used to change the property of the parts added in the game such as appearance, data, transform, etc.
