  BITE ME!!!!!
  If you're editing this to post about the Wedge, you'd better not waste your time. A Wedge is NOT a ramp, it's still a square brick. These are ramps that make real ramps, a wedge does not do that. I've already warned that the next one to post about a wedge gets a ban. So don't do it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

==Using a Hinge==


Make one small square brick 1x1x1 size. Up on the toolbar click on the little icon for Hinges. This lets you click anywhere and make a hinge on that surface. Click on the side of your brick, and there will then be a small yellow peg sticking out of that side.  
* In [[Roblox Studio|Roblox studio]], click Workspace.
 
* Click Insert > Object > Part
That, right there, is a Hinge. All you have to do is make sure another brick is RIGHT ON THE PEG and it will make a hinge. Anchor that brick you just made, move it up a few studs and make a new brick touching the hinge. The two bricks should sit right next to each other so that you can't see the hinge anymore. When you save and play the game Online, the hinge will let the other brick swing downward, making a ramp.
* [[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.

Instead of using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_%28angle%29 degrees], they use a special numbering system that is best explained by a 10th grade Math teacher. You can use numbers between 1 and 0, which will work fine.

For example, if you want to rotate the brick around the z axis, use <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">Vector3.new(0,0,1)</syntaxhighlight>. If you want to rotate the brick around the y axis, use <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">Vector3.new(0,1,0)</syntaxhighlight>.  If you want to rotate the brick around the x = z line, use <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">Vector3.new(1,0,1)</syntaxhighlight>.

It still appears as a ramp and a lot of people don't know how to make it. SO go ahead and ban me over a stupid thing like that if you want. How pathetic.
[[Radians]]


Create a brick that is 1X4. Go to view and select explorer and properties. Now click on the brick and select Insert->Object->SpecialMesh. You brick should appear as a spherical shape. Now go to your brick in the explorer. Press the plus sign next to the name of your brick, and clcik on SpecialMesh. Now look at the properties bar. You should see stuff like MeshID and MeshType. GO to meshtype and select the arrow next to the word "head." Now scroll down to wedge. It should appear as a ramp like brick. Remember, because some babies can't stand that this "isn't really a ramp," this is just a brick in the shape of a ramp. It looks more efficient than the Hinge and the CFrame. Don't try making the ramp huge because you cant walk on it. Copy and paste the smaller one as many times and needed. If it for decoration, make it bigger if you want!

I don't give a woot if anybody bans me. GO AHEAD!!! Im just trying to teach new players how to make a better looking ramp, since NO OTHER TUTORIAL SHOWS THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
