Create a Glass Bridge Squid Game in Roblox Studio

Hey guys! Ever wondered how to recreate that super intense glass bridge scene from Squid Game in Roblox Studio? Well, you're in the right place! I'm going to walk you through all the steps, so you can build your own thrilling version. Let's dive in!

Setting Up the Foundation

First things first, let's get our Roblox Studio ready. Open up a new project. You'll want to start by creating the basic structure of your glass bridge. Think of it as building the stage for your game. Start with a simple BasePart to represent the initial platform where players will start. Adjust its size to something reasonable, like 20x1x20 studs – this gives players enough room to gather before the mayhem begins. Now, duplicate this base platform and move it a good distance away, say 50 studs. This second platform will be the end goal, the place where players can breathe a sigh of relief (if they make it, that is!).

Next, we need to create the supporting structure for our glass panels. These supports will hold the glass in place and give the bridge its overall shape. Use more BasePart objects, making them long and thin, like 1x0.5x2 studs. Place these supports along the length of the bridge, ensuring they are evenly spaced. A good rule of thumb is to have supports every 4 studs or so. This not only provides a realistic look but also gives the glass panels something to rest on. Don't forget to anchor all these parts! Select each part and in the properties window, make sure the "Anchored" property is checked. This prevents the parts from falling apart when the game runs, which would be a bit of a disaster, wouldn't it? Now that you have the basic structure, you can start thinking about the aesthetics. Change the colors and materials to match the vibe of the Squid Game set. A dark gray or black color for the supports and platforms would work well, giving it that ominous feel. Experiment with different materials like concrete or metal to see what looks best. Remember, the goal is to create a visually appealing and immersive experience for your players.

Crafting the Glass Tiles

Now for the fun part – creating the glass tiles that will make or break our players! Create a Part and size it to fit perfectly between your support beams, something like 4x0.1x2 studs. Make sure it sits flush on the supports. This is crucial for the illusion of a real glass bridge. Next, change the material of this part to Glass. You’ll find this option in the properties window under the "Material" property. Set the transparency to something like 0.7 to give it that semi-transparent, glass-like appearance. Now comes the clever bit. Duplicate this glass tile and place it right next to the first one. This is where we introduce the element of danger. For one of these tiles, we’re going to make it breakable. How? Well, we’ll use a script to make it disappear when a player steps on it. But before we get to the scripting, let’s differentiate the two tiles. Rename one of the tiles to “SafeTile” and the other to “BreakableTile.” This will make it easier to reference them in our script. Change the color of the “BreakableTile” slightly – maybe a lighter shade of the original color. This subtle difference will be unnoticeable to players, adding to the suspense. Now, repeat this process along the entire length of the bridge, alternating the “SafeTile” and “BreakableTile” randomly. The key here is randomness. You want to make it unpredictable which tile is safe and which one isn't. This will keep your players on their toes and make the game much more exciting. Once you’ve placed all the tiles, double-check that they are all anchored. This is super important because you don't want the safe tiles to move when players step on them. Imagine the frustration if a player carefully chooses a “SafeTile” only for it to wobble and fall off!

Implementing the Breaking Mechanism

Alright, let's get into the scripting! This is where we bring the glass bridge to life. We need a script that detects when a player steps on a “BreakableTile” and then makes that tile disappear. In Roblox Studio, create a new Script inside the “BreakableTile.” This script will be responsible for detecting the player's touch and then destroying the tile. Open the script and let’s start coding.

First, we need to get a reference to the parent part, which is the “BreakableTile.” We can do this using script.Parent. Next, we need to use a function called Touched. This function will fire whenever something touches the tile. We can connect this function to our own custom function that will handle the tile breaking. Here’s the basic code:

local part = script.Parent

local function onPartTouched(hit)
 -- Code to handle the touch
end

part.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)

Now, inside the onPartTouched function, we need to check if the thing that touched the tile is a player. We can do this by checking if the hit.Parent is a player. If it is, then we know that a player has stepped on the tile. Here’s the updated code:

local part = script.Parent

local function onPartTouched(hit)
 local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
 if player then
 -- Code to handle the player touching the tile
 end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)

Finally, we need to make the tile disappear. We can do this by setting the Transparency of the tile to 1 and the CanCollide property to false. This will make the tile invisible and allow the player to fall through it. We can also add a small delay before destroying the tile completely, just to give the player a moment to realize what’s happening. Here’s the complete script:

local part = script.Parent

local function onPartTouched(hit)
 local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
 if player then
 part.Transparency = 1
 part.CanCollide = false

 wait(1)
 part:Destroy()
 end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)

Copy this script into each of your “BreakableTile” parts. Make sure the script is directly inside the part, not in any subfolders. Now, when a player steps on a “BreakableTile,” the tile will disappear after a short delay, causing the player to fall! Test your game to make sure everything is working as expected. Walk across the bridge and see if the breakable tiles disappear when you step on them. If they don't, double-check your script and make sure it's placed correctly inside each “BreakableTile.”

Adding Visual and Sound Effects

To really sell the experience, let's add some visual and sound effects. When a tile breaks, we can play a shattering glass sound and maybe add some particle effects to simulate glass shards. First, let’s add the sound effect. Find a good glass breaking sound effect in the Roblox Asset Library. You can search for “glass break” or “shatter” to find suitable sounds. Once you’ve found a sound you like, add it to your game. Now, go back to your script and add the code to play the sound when the tile is touched. Here’s how you can do it:

local part = script.Parent
local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://YOUR_SOUND_ID" -- Replace with your sound ID
sound.Parent = part

local function onPartTouched(hit)
 local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
 if player then
 part.Transparency = 1
 part.CanCollide = false
 sound:Play()

 wait(1)
 part:Destroy()
 end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)

Replace YOUR_SOUND_ID with the actual ID of the sound you added to your game. This code creates a new sound object, sets its ID to your chosen sound, and then plays the sound when the tile is touched. Next, let’s add some particle effects. Create a new ParticleEmitter inside the “BreakableTile.” Adjust the properties of the particle emitter to create a glass shard effect. You can change the texture, color, size, and speed of the particles to get the desired look. A good starting point is to use a small, white texture and set the emission direction to be outwards from the tile. Here’s how you can modify the particle emitter properties:

  • Texture: Use a small, white texture or a texture that resembles glass shards.
  • Color: Set the color to white or a light gray.
  • Size: Keep the size small, around 0.1 to 0.3 studs.
  • Speed: Adjust the speed to make the particles move quickly away from the tile.
  • Lifetime: Set the lifetime to a short duration, like 0.5 to 1 second.

Now, you need to enable the particle emitter when the tile is touched. Add the following code to your script:

local part = script.Parent
local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
sound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://YOUR_SOUND_ID" -- Replace with your sound ID
sound.Parent = part
local particles = part:FindFirstChild("ParticleEmitter")

local function onPartTouched(hit)
 local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
 if player then
 part.Transparency = 1
 part.CanCollide = false
 sound:Play()
 particles.Enabled = true

 wait(1)
 part:Destroy()
 end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onPartTouched)

This code finds the ParticleEmitter inside the tile and then enables it when the tile is touched. After the tile is destroyed, the particle emitter will stop emitting particles. These visual and sound effects will greatly enhance the player's experience and make the game feel much more immersive.

Polishing and Final Touches

Now that we have the basic mechanics in place, let's add some finishing touches to make our game even better. This includes adding a reset button, improving the level design, and optimizing performance. First, let’s add a reset button. This will allow players to quickly restart the game after falling off the bridge. Create a GUI Button in the StarterGui. This button will appear on the player's screen and allow them to reset their character. In the button's properties, change the text to “Reset” or “Restart.” Now, add a script to the button to handle the reset functionality. Here’s the code:

local button = script.Parent

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
 local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
 player:LoadCharacter()
end)

This script listens for the MouseButton1Click event, which is triggered when the player clicks the button. When the button is clicked, the script calls the LoadCharacter() function on the player, which resets their character to the starting point. Next, let’s improve the level design. Add some walls or barriers around the bridge to prevent players from accidentally falling off the sides. You can also add some decorative elements to make the environment more visually appealing. Consider adding some lighting effects to create a more dramatic atmosphere. Use the Lighting service in Roblox Studio to adjust the ambient light, brightness, and shadows. Experiment with different settings to find a look that you like. Finally, let’s optimize performance. If your game is running slowly, there are several things you can do to improve performance. First, reduce the number of parts in your game. The more parts there are, the more processing power is required to render them. You can also use the Debris service to automatically destroy parts that are no longer needed. This will help to reduce memory usage and improve performance. Another tip is to use StreamingEnabled. This feature allows the game to load only the parts that are currently visible to the player, which can greatly improve performance in large games. To enable StreamingEnabled, go to the Game Settings and enable it in the Rendering tab. By adding these finishing touches, you can create a polished and enjoyable gaming experience for your players. Test your game thoroughly and gather feedback from other players to identify any areas for improvement.

And there you have it! You've successfully created a glass bridge game in Roblox Studio. Now you can customize it, add your own twists, and share it with your friends. Have fun creating, and I'll catch you in the next tutorial!
