roblox donut flying gear
Okay, so I wanted to make a flying donut in Roblox. You know, because why not? I started by grabbing a regular donut model from the Toolbox. I figured it’d be easier than building one from scratch, and I was right – saved me a ton of time.
Making it Fly
First things first, I needed this donut to, well, fly. I added a BodyVelocity object inside the donut’s main part. This is basically what tells Roblox, “Hey, make this thing move!”.
Then came the tweaking. I played around with the BodyVelocity’s Velocity property. This controls the direction and speed of the donut. I set it to go upwards initially, just to see if it worked. And it did! My donut was floating!
Adding Some Control (and Spin!)
Just floating upwards was boring, though. I wanted to control this pastry! So, I wrote a little script. Nothing fancy, just some basic stuff to use the arrow keys.
- Up Arrow: Made the donut go higher.
- Down Arrow: Made it descend.
- Left/Right Arrows: I decided to make it spin instead of moving sideways. More fun that way!
To make it spin, I used a BodyAngularVelocity object. Similar to BodyVelocity, but for rotation. I messed with the AngularVelocity property, linking it to the left and right arrow keys. One direction for clockwise, the other for counter-clockwise.
Sprinkles and Polish
The basic flying and spinning were working, but it felt…plain. I went back to the Toolbox and found some cool particle effects. You know, like sparkling sprinkles! I attached those to the donut, making it look way more magical.
Finally, I spent some time adjusting the speeds and forces. I wanted the donut to feel responsive but not too crazy. It took some trial and error, but eventually, I got it to a point where it felt just right. It was surprisingly satisfying to fly this thing around!
All the work is very interesting and worth sharing! Looking forward to my next share!
