What is a very easy way to make a character customization script?

Asked by 5 years ago

I'm very new to coding, I've been specializing on building for the past 10 years I've been on ROBLOX so I haven't really put any time to making any advanced scripts for any of my games (I usually make showcases and never really any actual games until now)

The game I'm currently working-on is kind of like a remake of Booga Booga but more of a remaster. (Also because I'm sick of cheaters)

Anyways, how could I make a character customization script that is capable of having multiple clothes to choose from and being able to spawn with those clothes that you have chosen. And when you die you are brought back to the character creation screen to remake your character if you so choose.

If there are any places that I could learn how to do any of those scripts from please link me so I can learn about it.

And if you would like to help even more, reach out and PM me, I'm even willing to pay ROBUX for some assistance.

Thank you for your time!

Since you are new...

I'll give you a list of links you could use to get started on coding! The search bar at the top of this website, the community chat on the website (once you reach enough reputation), the ROBLOX Developer Wiki, the Scripting Helper's Discord Server and maybe YouTube videos (most YouTube videos do a seldom job teaching; not recommended).


Sites that help you teach the basics

Developer Tutorial page or the Official ROBLOX YouTube Channel.


Scripting is hard at the beginning

but don't give up! It's definitely worth it, especially in the future!


What you Need to Learn (More advanced stuff)

Besides the basics of scripting in RBLX Lua 5.1, it sounds like you need to learn about GUIs, Camera manipulation, client vs server sided scripts, RemoteFunctions/Events and maybe DataStores. It may seem overwhelming at first, but learning the basics is probably the hardest part (everything else builds upon the basics).


If you have a friend who codes a little, they may be able to help decipher some pages for you. If not, it's probably best that you start from the beginning and start working your way up to harder things.


A Few Benefits of Coding

It's fun, it makes you think, strengthens your algebraic skills, there is a chance to innovate, you can create anything you'd like, it's super rewarding if your code works and it's good for finding future jobs in the tech industry.


Most important question asking rule:

We cannot give free code: if you want an answer from us with code in it, you need to have your own code we can modify in your question as well. You should try to look up solutions before asking us as soon as you hit a problem in your code (because sometimes the answer could be solved with a google search).

How to increase the chances of your questions being answered quickly:

Questions that have scripts usually get answered faster than ones without. If you have basic questions that don't really require a script at all, you could use DevForums, the SH discord or ask on here if you'd like. When you post a question with a script, you can cut out unnecessary parts of your code that may not be causing errors at all. You can also point out where you believe the problem may lie, that way we can focus on a few lines and find the error faster.

Aside from that, you're all set!



Hope it helps! Good luck!

Sorry if it seems overwhelming. This is basically all you need to know about the basics of coding. Favorite this page in your browser if you fancy so you can always come back to it for the links! EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 5y

Also one more thing,just try your best.Althought if you think you're not good,it is always good to try.People can assist you for trying.Most importantly,Understanding.If you're just 'copying and pasting' scripts,you won't learn anything. rochel89 42 — 5y
