How to Make Conveyor Belts
Conveyor Belt
This tutorial will teach you how to build a working conveyor belt! For those who may not know, a conveyor belt is an object that pulls other objects along, on top of it. Usually they're used in assembly lines, in factories.
How To Make One
Well, there are two ways to make a conveyor belt. One way is to give a brick an OnTouch script that will give Velocity to any brick touching it. This is just needlessly complicated and useless. So, instead, we're gonna make a brick anchor it, and give it velocity. Don't worry if this sounds confusing, I'll go into more detail, below.
Create The Brick
Start by a creating a brick. Its top surface should be smooth, so it doesn't form any connections. You can make the color whatever you want, though. Once you've created the brick, stretch it out, to the length of your conveyor belt. You should probably build some small walls on it, too. So that whatever rides it won't fall off.
Give It Velocity
For the next step, we have to give it the ability to move/move others. So, in the Roblox Editor, highlight the brick in the workspace, and go to Insert>Object. When prompted, select Body Velocity. Once you insert it, BodyVelocity should be a child of your conveyor belt. Highlight the BodyVelocity, and in its properties, change the velocity coordinates to whichever direction your conveyor belt goes. They're X, Y, Z coordinates, so you won't need the middle one (Y).
