| + | |||
| + | First, upload your map model to Roblox. Do this by right clicking the model and selecting "Save to Roblox" | ||
| + | |||
| + | Next, you will have to join the [[http:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | The bot will tell you when it has taken the map. If it could not take it read the error it tells you and fix what you did wrong. Once accepted, go to either [[https:// | ||

| + | |||
| + | ===== Making a booster ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Boosters do not have special names. To make a booster you simply change the Velocity property of a normal part or a '' | ||
| + | |||
| + | For example, if a player with a velocity of 40 u/s in the positive x-direction jumps on a part with velocity (30, 0, 0), their velocity will now be 70 u/s in the x-direction. To help discern direction in Studio there is a cube at the top right with axes. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It is recommended to use a script when changing the Velocity property, because this property is reset whenever the part is moved, including if the map model itself is moved. | ||
| + | By using a script it is easy to store and come back to the value without having to worry if you reset it accidentally. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code Lua> | ||
| + | -- Example script (put the script inside the part you want to turn into a booster): | ||
| + | script.Parent.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Finally, if you want to make a vertical booster with a specific height, you can do so with a simple physics equation. The height variable is in studs (so the example will boost the player 30 studs high). | ||
| + | The gravity variable should be set to 100 for bhop and 50 for surf, because the gravity is different between the two games. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code Lua> | ||
| + | local height = 30 | ||
| + | local gravity = 100 | ||
| + | script.Parent.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Caveats and things to keep in mind ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Unions and meshes do not have normal collision. In bhop/surf they will simply have a box for collision. It is the same box you see in Studio when you select a union/mesh and highlight it. | ||
| + | To work around this you can create your own collision manually by making individual parts and making them invisible, and making the original union/mesh CanCollide false. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Avoid having surfaces on the same level as another and directly adjacent to eachother. This greatly increased the chances of a player accidentally edge boosting on the part and losing lots of their speed. | ||
| + | If you need to have this, it is recommended to make the parts CanCollide false, and creating a single invisible part that outlines the parts inside. This is common practice for certain platform designs. | ||
