How to make a game like Doors | Room Generation | Roblox Studio [P2]

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a game similar to "Doors" using Roblox Studio, focusing on room generation. This guide is designed for those who want to enhance their game development skills in Roblox and create engaging environments.

Step 1: Setting Up Your Roblox Studio Environment

• Open Roblox Studio and create a new place.
• Choose a template that fits your game design; a baseplate is often a good starting point.
• Familiarize yourself with the interface, including the Explorer and Properties panels, as these will be essential for game development.

Step 2: Creating Room Templates

• Start by designing a basic room layout:
  • Use the "Part" tool to create walls, floors, and ceilings.
  • Adjust the dimensions to fit your desired room size.
• Group your room components:
  • Select all parts of the room, right-click, and choose "Group" to keep them organized.
  • Name the group “RoomTemplate” for easier reference later.

Step 3: Scripting Room Generation

• Insert a Script into the Workspace:
  • Right-click on Workspace in the Explorer panel, select "Insert Object," and choose "Script."
• Write a script to generate rooms:
  • Use the following code snippet to clone and position your room template randomly:

local roomTemplate = game.Workspace.RoomTemplate
local roomCount = 10 -- Number of rooms to generate

for i = 1, roomCount do
    local newRoom = roomTemplate:Clone()
    newRoom.Parent = game.Workspace
    newRoom.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-50, 50), 0, math.random(-50, 50)) -- Randomize position
end

• Adjust the roomCount and position ranges as needed to fit your game design.

Step 4: Adding Room Features

• Enhance your rooms by adding features like doors and decorations:
  • Use the "Model" tool to create doors. Consider using a hinge system for functionality.
  • Insert other elements like furniture, lighting, or textures to make the rooms more immersive.
• Use the Properties panel to adjust the appearance and functionality of these objects.

Step 5: Testing Your Game

• Save your project frequently to avoid losing progress.
• Click the "Play" button in Roblox Studio to test your room generation.
• Observe how rooms are generated and make adjustments to the script or room design as necessary.
