There are three ways you can make ramps. Using a Hinge, a CFrame to edit rotation, or a SpecialMesh (which the moderators cry about because it "isn't actually a ramp")


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, 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.


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. Radians are a different way of saying how big an angle is. Instead of using 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.

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.


Using a SpecialMesh

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!
