There are two ways you can make ramps. Using a Hinge or a CFrame to edit rotation.
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.
That 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.
Using a CFrame
Make a brick, anchor it and name it "slope". Then open the Command Line and type this in:
game.Workspace.slope.CFrame=CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0,0,0)
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. You can use numbers between 1 and 0, which will work fine.
Play around with it, you can put the new number in either one of the three zeroes in the line, like this:
game.Workspace.slope.CFrame=CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0.5,0.9,0.3)
Which will make it rotate in all kinds of directions. You can also press enter a couple of times and it will make the brick rotate again, so you can rotate it farther.
Zuka: Try math.pi, its equal to 180 degrees. Then, try multiplying or dividing it to get different angles.
Also, you can use
brick.CFrame=CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,100,0)) * CFrame.fromAxisAngle(Vector3.new(0,0,1), math.pi/2)
Change the 1st Vector3.new() to change the position of the brick, and the 2nd one: change which one(s) are 1 rather than 0. Make sure that at least one of the values are non-zero. Change the 2nd value to the radians you wish to angle the brick by.
