How to make your character dance in roblox studio
Creating an Animation | Roblox Creator Documentation
Roblox Studio features a built-in Animation Editor to design custom animations for in-game characters. To learn how to use the editor, you'll create an animation of a character doing a victory leap. Once finished, that animation can be played for any Roblox avatar.
Animation Setup
Before animating, you'll create a poseable character rig and name a new animation file in the editor.
To create player animations, a character rig is needed. In the Avatar tab, click on Build Rig.
In the popup, make sure R15 is selected and then click Rthro Normal.
To open the Animation Editor, go to Plugins → Animation Editor.
Select the rig. Inside the Animation window, type in a name and click Create.
Create an Animation
The victory leap animation will be a series of keyframes, each one storing information for how parts are positioned. In total, the one second animation will have four keyframes for each pose of the leap.
Neutral
Crouch
Leap
Land
First Pose (Neutral)
The first pose will be the neutral pose with the character standing at rest. To start, you'll set keyframes to the rig's current pose.
Make sure the rig is selected. Then, in the Animation Editor, click the + button. Select Add All to include all the parts in the rig in the editor.
Set the neutral pose by right clicking on the top bar beneath the timeline and selecting Add Keyframe. You'll see a set of diamonds (keyframes) appear.
Save the animation by clicking on the ... button and select Save.
Until an animation is exported, that animation is stored locally to the game place. Saving through the animation editor does not save the game itself.
Second Pose (Crouch)
The next pose will have the character posed to crouch before leaping up.
Click on the top bar to set the animation time to a third of the length (e.g. 0:09).
Select different body parts and use the Rotate tool to pose the rig. One way animators pose is to start with parts connected to the torso, like the shoulder. Then, move out to parts like the hand.
To move the rig, switch to the Move tool by pressing R. Click the LowerTorso part (either in the rig or animation hierarchy) and position the body slightly down.
Continue to pose the rig, switching between Move and Rotate by pressing R.
Third Pose (Leap)
Set the animation time to the middle by clicking on the top bar.
Animate using Rotate and Move to create a pose like below.
Finish the Animation
To save time and transition between animation loops, the last pose will be a copied version of the first, neutral pose.
Then, you can either leave the pose as is or tweak it to get a more interesting animation.
Select the top keyframe (diamond symbol) in the timeline for the first pose. Notice how keyframes for each part are selected. Once you select all keyframes, copy them Ctrl+C (⌘+C).
Move to the end of the animation (1:00 in the example) by clicking on the timeline. Then paste the keyframes using Ctrl+V (⌘+V). If desired, take some time to adjust the pose to add more detail in the animation.
With the animation done, toggle Looping on, then press Play.
Export the Animation
A finished animation has to be exported to play it in games.
Click the .. button in the upper-left section of the animation editor window.
Select Export. Follow the dialog boxes and click Submit.
Once the animation is exported, copy the ID by clicking the Copy icon. You should see a green "ID Copied!" text.
The copied ID can now be used in Roblox animations, as explored in the Scripting Avatar Animations course. Additionally, for more information about Animation see the Animation guides.
Emotes | Roblox Creator Documentation
Emotes are expressive character animations that are accessible by using chat commands ("/e cheer") or by accessing the emotes menu on the top right of any experience. All users have access to default emotes, such as dance, point, and cheer. Additional avatar emotes can be purchased and equipped from the Avatar Shop.
In your experience, you can perform the following emote customizations:
Open and close a user's emotes menu programmatically.
Add or remove emotes options from a user's menu.
Disable access to the menu.
Play an emote, targeting a specific user character.
You can open and close a user's emote menu manually, customize the menu to display specific emotes, or disable the menu completely.
Opening and Closing
To manually open or close a player's emote menu, call GuiService:SetEmotesMenuOpen() with a boolean value of true or false.
The following code sample will open the emotes menu for the user:
1-- Open the emote Menu
2local GuiService = game:GetService("GuiService")
3GuiService:SetEmotesMenuOpen(true)
4
If you need to detect whether the emotes menu is open, call GuiService:GetEmotesMenuOpen(). This returns a boolean indicating the menu's current state.
Adding and Removing Emotes
Customize the emote menu by setting emotes from the catalog and then equipping emotes to a Humanoid. Set emotes with the HumanoidDescription:SetEmotes() method and equip up to 8 emotes to the emotes menu using HumanoidDescription:SetEquippedEmotes().
Use the following code sample in a LocalScript within the StarterCharacterScripts folder to set and equip emotes in your experience:
1local Players = game:GetService("Players")
2local humanoid = Players.
LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
3local humanoidDescription = humanoid.HumanoidDescription
4
5-- Set custom emotes within a table
6local emoteTable = {
7["Hello"] = {3576686446},
8["Stadium"] = {3360686498},
9["Tilt"] = {3360692915},
10["Shrug"] = {3576968026},
11["Salute"] = {3360689775},
12["Point"] = {3576823880}
13}
14humanoidDescription:SetEmotes(emoteTable)
15
16-- Equip emotes in a specific order
17local equippedEmotes = {"Hello", "Stadium", "Tilt", "Shrug", "Salute", "Point"}
18humanoidDescription:SetEquippedEmotes(equippedEmotes)
19
Disabling
Disable the emotes menu with StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(). Disabling the emotes menu will not prevent emotes from being performed with a chat command.
The following sample code will disable the emotes menu:
1local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
2StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.
CoreGuiType.EmotesMenu, false)
3
In addition to disabling the menu, you can disable loading of user-owned emotes by setting the StarterPlayer.UserEmotesEnabled property within StarterPlayer > Character to false. This specific property can only be set in Studio and cannot be set by scripts.
To manually play an emote that a character has in its HumanoidDescription, call Humanoid:PlayEmote(), passing the string name of the emote. This call will return true to indicate that the emote was played successfully, or false otherwise.
Use the following code sample to play the Shrug emote:
1local Players = game:GetService("Players")
2local humanoid = Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
3
4humanoid:PlayEmote("Shrug")

Roblox: Everything You Need to Know

We figure out what games are here, how to create your own and make money on it.
What is Roblox
Roblox is a virtual platform that appeared in 2006. In it, you can create your own games, visit different locations, communicate with other users and organize joint activities.
But Roblox is not an MMORPG in the classic sense. This is a sandbox in which everyone can build their own location and invite guests here - and, possibly, make money on it. nine0003
About 800 thousand players enter the game every day. In the MMORPG ranking on the MMO Population website, she is ranked 7th. In total, Roblox has over 16 million users worldwide.
Approximately 75% of Americans aged 9 to 12 already have a Roblox account. But younger children can also play here: for example, on Google Play, the application is included in the “7+” category.
Roblox games are created by more than 2 million developers worldwide, including teenagers. The company is valued at $30 billion. Just a year ago, it was worth 4 billion, but due to the pandemic, the number of users has grown a lot - and with it, revenues have increased.

How to play Roblox
Roblox has already arrived on almost all popular platforms. On Windows PC and Mac, you can go to the official Roblox website, and after registering, the system will automatically prompt you to install the player for games.
Apps for iOS, Android and Xbox available from official stores:

The game is not yet available on the Sony PlayStation.
On a PC, the player will launch a browser game selection. There you can find a suitable option and see information about it. If you decide to start, you will return to the player again. On other platforms, everything happens directly in applications.
The interface of Roblox itself is in English. But it has games that support several languages, including Russian.
You can chat in any language.
What are places
A place is a separate game world: a place where the user can come and spend time in a certain way. For example, in the popular Adopt Me place, they take a pet and take care of it. And in the Tower of Hell they do parkour and go through an obstacle course.
Places are usually divided into genres and types. Genre is the general atmosphere and principles of interaction in the game. Here they are:
- Building (construction).
- Fighting.
- Adventure. nine0008
- Sports (sport simulators).
- RPG (role-playing games).
- FPS (first person shooters).
- Horror.
- Sci-Fi (science fiction).
- Military (military games).
- Naval (naval battles).
- Town and City.
- Comedy (comedy plays).
- Medieval (medieval games).
- Western (cowboy places).
The genre is indicated in the description of the game.
But more often, users are guided not by it, but by the type of place. nine0003
For example, there are plagiarized plays based on CS:GO, GTA V Online, Granny and other popular games. There are also tycoons (tycoons) where you need to develop your business and make money on it. In anime and RP (Roleplay - role-playing games), it is important to recreate a certain image with the help of a character. Many players collect and MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena): when two teams on the map attack each other to occupy the main structure of the enemy.
One of the most popular game types in Roblox is obby. The name comes from the English phrase obstacle course - "obstacle course". In such places, you need to overcome the route as quickly as possible, using jumps and parkour techniques. nine0003

What you can get for free
Most of the plays in Roblox are free.
Each of them can have its own in-game currency. nine0003
Usually you will receive some of this money at the start or for daily entry into the game. You can earn more for actions, such as completing a route or taking good care of your pet.
Dozens of avatars, outfits, dances and expressions are available for free. In various games, you can open not the most luxurious house, relatively simple parkour tracks, ordinary cars, and so on (depending on the place). And then improve it all for the in-game currency. nine0003
In a word, users who do not plan to donate will feel quite comfortable. At least for the first time.
What you have to pay for in Roblox
There is donut on the platform, and part of it goes to ordinary developers of places and items. That's what they give money for.
For the purchase of Robux
Roblox has an in-game currency - Robux. You can buy it for real money one-time or subscribe: with it you will get more coins.
Virtual coins and points from individual games are not converted to Robux. nine0003
You can also receive 100 coins for participating in the Microsoft Rewards program. Signing up here is free, and points are awarded for activities ranging from Bing searches to app store purchases. But in Russia and many post-Soviet countries the program does not work.
For Premium Membership
Paid Roblox subscription starts at $5/month and provides Premium Membership. With it, you will automatically receive from 450 coins monthly.
In addition, Premium users can trade in the game: sell T-shirts, shirts and pants, game passes to access the features of a certain place (for example, VIP rooms or powerful weapons), limited items. nine0003
For in-game purchases
Robux can be spent on access to paid places, buying clothes and accessories, avatars, badges, changing nicknames and so on. Places with a large number of players offer the opportunity to play on dedicated servers for coins - so that the game loads faster and does not slow down.

In addition, groups are created for Robux, as well as clans and ranks within it. You can add video previews to places, upload your music to the library, and advertise products. All this is also not free. nine0003
How to make games on Roblox
Users have had more time on Roblox since the coronavirus restrictions began. And the developers realized that here you can earn quite real money by creating places and selling game passes.
For example, 20-year-old Ann Shoemaker has already received over $500,000 from the platform. She earned most of this amount from March to August 2020 - in just 6 months.
Maybe it's time for you to take a closer look at this niche? Experience in professional game development is usually not required for this. nine0003
Master Lua
This scripting programming language is similar to Python: logical, simple, with concise syntax and minimal chances of missing a critical error that may appear in the course of work.
Lua also resembles JavaScript - it also implements the prototype model of object-oriented programming.
All user data types in Lua are based on the table mechanism. Classes and objects, multiple inheritance, operator overloading and other complex things - through metatables (tables with additional metadata). In a word, there are no daunting concepts here. nine0003
Decide on a theme and genre
It would seem that Roblox has games for every taste and color - from copies of CS:GO and Among Us to simulators of working in a pizzeria and solving mathematical problems. But since new places appear every day, we are sure that you will also be able to find your niche. Here are some tips:
- Try to create a world that you yourself would like to be in. If you enjoy the place, then it will please other users.
- Ask friends and colleagues what games they miss. Better yet, their children. nine0008
- Reading books, watching movies, listening to music can inspire you.
- Remember what you dreamed about as a child and what toys you loved.
- Don't hone an idea to perfection, start implementing it.
- Don't try to copy successful games. They have already collected thousands of players, and it will be very difficult for you to compete with such places at the start - especially without a huge advertising budget.
- Avoid violence and scenes with a hint of sex - such a game may not pass moderation. nine0008
Download Roblox Studio
The development environment is available for Windows and macOS. If you click on the Start creating button on this page, the installation of Roblox Studio will automatically begin. This will take less than a minute.
Templates are immediately available to you in the environment. Based on them, you can quickly create your first place. Roblox Studio also has ready-made 3D models of characters and other objects, tools for transforming and working with the landscape.

Finally, testing tools are built into Roblox Studio.
You can emulate the behavior of your game on various devices and fix bugs before you decide to add a place to the platform.
Install plug-ins for the development environment
They will speed up the construction of the place and give additional features. You can find plugins on the first Marketplace tab in the Toolbox - by default, it's on the left.
A large number of plug-ins are available for free. But there are those that are sold for Robux. nine0003

How game creators make money in Roblox
They get money from in-game purchases, finding Premium players in their place or accessing servers.
- For in-game sales, Robux is credited minus a commission - it is 30% of the cost of the product. nine0008
- Paying for staying in a place is a bit more complicated. Roblox calculates the total revenue from subscriptions and divides it among the game creators in proportion to the time spent in the places.
- Fee for paid entrance - up to 90%. If you set the price tag to 100 Robux, you will only get 10.
- Same fee for playing on paid servers. When a player pays 10 Robux, the developer gets only one coin.
- The platform takes 30% from the sale of game passes.
- Finally, you can create plugins for Roblox Studio and put them on the marketplace. The platform commission is also 30%. nine0008
The monetization setting in Roblox Studio is located in the Home → Game Settings → Monetization panel.
