Introduction

There are three ways you can make ramps. You can either use a Hinge or a CFrame to edit rotation, or you can simply insert a WedgePart

Using a Hinge

  • In Roblox studio, click Workspace.
  • Click Insert > Object > Part
  • Resize the newly brick so that it is one unit wide, one unit long, and as tall as you want.
  • Click the Weld option in your Toolbar (it has an X in a square).
  • Click ONE side of your tall brick with the weld option.
  • Click Workspace.
  • Click Insert > Object > Part
  • Resize this newly created brick so it is one unit wide, one unit long, and one unit tall.
  • Click the Weld option in your Toolbar.
  • Click the side of this brick that is facing the welded side of the TALL brick with the weld option. You should have two welded faces facing each other.
  • Select the Drag option in your Toolbar.
  • Place the small brick near the top of the tall tower.
  • Select the Hinge option on your Toolbar
  • Click the small brick. A yellow dot should be protruding from it.
  • Click Workspace.
  • Click Insert > Object > Part
  • Resize this newly created brick to a long, flat, rectangle.
  • Drag this newly created rectangle so that you can't see the yellow dot.
  • Test your game. If you did this correctly, your bar should fall downwards.

Using a CFrame

Make a brick, anchor it and name it "slope". Then open the Command Bar and type this in:

s = game.Workspace.slope; s.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(0,0,0) + s.CFrame.p

Change the "(0,0,0)" to how many radians (not degrees) you want it to rotate. Instead of using degrees, they use radians, which are a different way of saying how big an angle is.

Play around with it, you can put the new number in either one of the three zeroes in the line, like this:

s = game.Workspace.slope; s.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(math.rad(30), math.rad(45), 0) + s.CFrame.p

Which will make it rotate in all kinds of directions.

Also, you can use

s = game.Workspace.slope; s.CFrame = CFrame.fromAxisAngle(Vector3.new(0,0,1), math.pi/2) + s.CFrame.p
  • Change the
    Vector3.new(0,0,1)
    
    to the line to rotate around. For example, if you want to rotate the brick around the z axis, use
    Vector3.new(0,0,1)
    
    . If you want to rotate the brick around the y axis, use
    Vector3.new(0,1,0)
    
    . If you want to rotate the brick around the x = z line, use
    Vector3.new(1,0,1)
    
    .
  • Lastly, change math.pi/2 to the value in radians you wish to angle the brick by. This can be a constant, a variable, up to you.

Using a WedgePart

  • In Roblox studio, click Workspace.
  • Click Insert > Object > WedgePart
  • It's as simple as that. You now have a WedgePart that acts like a ramp.
