Preliminary information
Before going into the details of the procedure on how to create a Simulator on Roblox , I think it may interest you to know more about this possibility.
Well, as partially anticipated in the opening bars of the guide, a Simulator is nothing more than a type of game in which it tries to reproduce a really existing dynamic , for example the purchase of objects, often making the user repeat the same one over and over again. activities.
In short, it is a potentially infinite game, but with operations that are often short to complete, which finds its pivot in mechanics as simple as “replayable”, which therefore encourage users to spend some time there.
It is therefore clear why many want to create a Simulator: an operation that can be performed using Roblox Studio , or the official Roblox creation tool, made available by the game developers themselves.
If you’ve followed these pages in the past, you may remember that I’ve already made a tutorial on how to make a game on Roblox . Well, if you want some advice, before proceeding with this guide take a look at that guide as well, as it is “preparatory” to what I will show you later.
In any case, you shouldn’t have any particular problems, since I will start with the installation of the Roblox Studio program (which uses the same graphics engine as the game) and I will try to create a title as simple as possible, so as to allow you to quickly learn the basics you need to proceed independently, even if you are a beginner.
I warn you right now: the final result will not be a “masterpiece”, but it will allow you to indefinitely implement certain dynamics. More than a “complete” title, you will get a sort of tutorial, which will then allow you to deepen the subject and put your creativity into action. The purpose of this guide is more to give you the right tools and tell you “where to look”, rather than to get you to build a high-caliber Simulator. Clear? Well, then let’s proceed.
How to install Roblox Studio
Having explained the general situation to you, I would say that it is time to take action. Before proceeding with the creation of the Simulator, however, it is necessary to have the Roblox Studio tool available .
The latter, available for both Windows and macOS , has minimum requirements, which must be met in order to take advantage of them: I indicate them to you below.
- Operating system: Windows 7 or higher or macOS 10.10 or higher;
- RAM: at least 1GB;
- Other requests: Internet connection active.
In short, in reality the requirements are quite low and therefore you should not have particular problems using Roblox Studio, at least if you have a computer that is not too dated.
To proceed, go to the official Roblox Studio portal and click on the Start Create button first and then on the Download Studio button .
Starting with the Windows procedure , you will get the RobloxStudioLauncherBeta.exe file . Open the latter and click on the Yes button . The installation procedure will be completed completely automatically , so much so that at its end Roblox Studio will start up by itself.
As for macOS , however, after pressing the aforementioned Download Studio button , you will get the RobloxStudio.dmg file . Then start the latter and click first on the RobloxStudio icon (twice) and then on the Open button . You will be prompted to enter your local user account password .
Once logged in, installation will usually be completed quickly. You will then find the Roblox Studio icon directly in the macOS Launchpad .
Now you need to log in with your Roblox account . If you do not have this type of profile, you can click on the Sign Up button and fill in the appropriate form that will appear on the screen. More precisely, the data to be entered are: date of birth , username , password and gender .
To complete the registration, just press the Sign Up button first and then the Verify button . You may be asked to check that you are not a robot (e.g. you may be prompted to rotate images correctly and click the Done button ).
Perfect, you have now successfully created your account. If you want advice, you may want to add an email address to your profile so it doesn’t get lost. To do this, simply click on the gear icon , located at the top right, and navigate to Settings> Account Info .
All you have to do is press the Add Email button and enter your email address . You will be prompted to enter your account password and click the Add Email button to confirm. You will then receive an e-mail message: open it, press the Verify Email button and log in to complete the procedure.
You can then go back to Roblox Studio and run the log through the ‘ e-mail address and password that you set up, congratulations, you’re able to successfully log in!
How to create a Simulator on Roblox
Once Roblox Studio is set up correctly, it’s time to create a Simulator on Roblox . For the occasion, I’ll make a quick and easy game example using a great free tool called Simulator Kit By Roblo (made by user roblo_andrejDDi).
To get the latter, just connect to the appropriate page on the Roblox website and press first on the Accept button and then on the Log In button , at the top right. At this point, enter your Roblox account username and password and click the Log In button . You may be asked to enter a verification code sent by email.
Next, click the Get button first and then the Get Now button . By doing so, the kit items will be added directly to your account inventory and you can use them within Roblox Studio. After that, add another Simulator Kit pack in the same way .
So go back to Roblox Studio and press first on the New button , present at the top left, and then on the Baseplate box , in order to have completely free land for your Simulator.
At this point, expand the Toolbox tab on the left as much as possible (you can also close the others). If this tab is not displayed on the screen, just click on the VIEW button at the top and click on the Toolbox button .
Next, click on the inventory icon (the second from left to right, present at the top of the Toolbox pane). Here you will find the Simulator Kit By Roblo , which you previously added to your account.
Then click on the Simulator Kit By Roblo box to insert it into your game. If everything has been done correctly, you will see a small “green island” appear on the screen in the preview area.
Perfect, now you can “clean” your project by removing the Baseplate element , that is the empty space that was present previously. To do this, move to the Explorer tab on the right, right-click on the Baseplate item and click on the Delete option .
At this point, expand the Simulator Kit item in the Explorer tab , on the right, select Ungroup In [StarterGui] with the right mouse button and click on the Ungroup option . So do the same with Ungroup In [Workspace] .
Now, move the Main element inside the StarterGui folder , always present in the Explorer tab. After that, move the SpawnLocation and Baseplate elements above the Workspace entry . Perfect, now you can also delete, using the Delete option , the Simulator Kit element , since you have “extracted” all the elements.
If everything has been done correctly, you will see some blue buttons appear in the space dedicated to the preview , from Shop to Rebirth . Well, this means that you already have interesting possibilities at your disposal.
To proceed, press the HOME key , located at the top, and click the Play button : your game will start, obviously in its current state. You will see that you can already move your character within the game world using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
By clicking on the Shop button on the left, you will notice that there is already the interface to potentially give life to a Shop . By clicking on the Rebirth button instead , you will be informed of the presence of a mechanic that allows the player to “resurrect” by paying a certain number of dollars .
For the rest, at the moment the dollar space shows N / A and you can’t do much in the game. What you are using is in fact only a basic kit to start making a Simulator. Then press the Stop icon to stop the game preview.
Well, to provide money to your character, move to the Explorer tab , present on the right, press on an empty space with the right mouse button and select the Insert Object> Folder options .
By doing so, a folder called Folder will be created . Press on it with the right mouse button and click on the Rename option . Then type leaderstats and enter . After that, move the folder above the Players entry .
At this point, right-click on an empty space in the Explorer tab and select the Insert Object> IntValue items from the menu. A Value element will be created , which I recommend you rename to Money . Put simply, the latter is the number of dollars you have available.
Move it, therefore, above the leaderstats folder you created earlier. At this point, press the Play icon and move the leaderstats folder above the entry for your username . If everything has been done correctly, you will see the amount of money available to you at the top right of the game preview .
Select, therefore, the Money element on the right and click first on the VIEW item at the top and then on the Properties one . By doing so, a tab will appear at the bottom right that allows you to set how much money your character has.
All you have to do is change the value and enter, for example, 500,000 . By doing so, you will actually get the money inside the game and you will see all the related writings change. Perfect, you are practically at the end: hold on a little longer.
At this point, go back to the inventory , using the tab on the left, and press on the Simulator Kit box (and not on “Simulator Kit by Roblo”). By doing so, you will see another “island” appear. You just have to expand the Simulator Kit item and, as you have done previously, use the Ungroup function in the folders specifically indicated in the name of the elements.
You will see many more possibilities appear on the screen in the preview. Then expand the entry for your username , click on the leaderstats folder and change the Cash value from 0 to, for example, 500,000 .
If you want you can also use the Cash Giver button at the bottom and press on your character , in order to get money directly in-game . In any case, you can now press the Shop button to take a look at the items to buy, as well as the To Surface button , to drop your character.
If these mechanics don’t work, you might want to try deleting the previous Main item , present in the StarterGui folder . For the rest, congratulations: you have successfully created your first Simulator: a shopping and falling simulator !
Of course, this is still a basic game , among other things created using another user’s starter kits . However, this is probably the quickest way to bring a Simulator to life.
Anyway, now that you know a little about the basics of Roblox Studio, you can put them in place to carry your ideas forward and build a Simulator that you think best suits your needs and expectations.
If you want some advice, a YouTube channel, in English , that might interest you to follow is that of PurlyDev – RBLX , since it is the creator of the kits used in this tutorial and often provides interesting information from this point of view. I just have to say good luck to you for your project!
