realistic basketball script roblox
Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this Roblox thing, and I wanted to make a basketball game that actually feels like, you know, basketball. Not that clunky stuff you usually see. I wanted it to be smooth, like butter.
First thing I did was grab a basketball model. I mean, you can’t have a basketball game without a ball, right? I found a pretty decent one, all orange and bumpy like a real one. Then I started messing with the physics. Roblox has these built-in physics things, but they’re kinda wonky sometimes.
I tweaked and I tweaked. I wanted the ball to bounce just right, not too high, not too low. I spent hours just making the ball bounce, over and over. My friends thought I was crazy, but I was determined to get it right. I changed the bounciness, the friction, all that stuff. Finally, it felt pretty good. It was bouncing like a real basketball!
Making the Player Move
Next up, I had to make the player actually move around the court. This was a whole other beast. I used some basic Roblox scripts to get the player running and jumping. I used the WASD keys for movement and spacebar to jump, kinda like every other game out there.
- W: Move forward
- A: Move left
- S: Move backward
- D: Move right
- Spacebar: Jump
But it felt stiff, you know? Like a robot playing basketball. So, I started messing around with animations. I found some animations online, people just giving them away, which was cool. I plugged them into my script and, boom, the player was dribbling, shooting, the whole nine yards. It looked way better.
Shooting Hoops
Shooting was a tricky one. I wanted it to be based on where you were aiming and how long you held the button, just like a real shot. I had to use raycasting, which sounds fancy, but it’s basically just shooting an invisible line from the player’s hand to see where the ball should go.
I wrote a bunch of code that calculated the arc of the shot based on the angle and the power. It took me forever to get it right. I kept missing, the ball would go flying off in weird directions. But, I kept at it. I’m not a quitter, you know? And finally, I got it working. You could actually aim and shoot, and it felt awesome when you made a basket.
It Actually Feels Like Basketball!
After all that work, I finally had something that resembled a basketball game. It wasn’t perfect, but it was way better than anything else I’d seen on Roblox. It felt smooth, the ball physics were on point, and the shooting was satisfying.
I even added a little scoreboard that kept track of the points. It’s pretty basic, but it does the job. I invited my friends to play, and they were actually impressed. They said it felt like a real basketball game, which was the whole point.
So yeah, that’s my story of making a realistic basketball script in Roblox. It was a lot of work, a lot of trial and error, but it was totally worth it. I learned a ton, and now I have a cool little game that I can play with my friends. If you’re into Roblox and you like basketball, give it a shot. It’s a fun challenge!
