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 inside Roblox Studio? Well, you're in luck! This guide will walk you through the entire process, step by step, so you can build your own thrilling version. Get ready to dive into Roblox Studio and unleash your inner game developer!

Setting Up the Foundation

First things first, let's lay the groundwork. Open up Roblox Studio and create a new place. I usually go with the 'Baseplate' template because it gives you a nice, clean slate to start with. Once you're in, the first thing you’ll want to do is create the basic structure of your glass bridge. This involves creating the platforms and the surrounding environment that will house your deadly game.

Start by adding a Part from the Model tab. This will be one of your glass platforms. Scale it to a reasonable size – something like 4 studs long, 2 studs wide, and 0.2 studs thick works well. Make sure it’s thin enough to convincingly break! Rename this part to “GlassPlatform.” Now, duplicate this part multiple times (Ctrl+D or Cmd+D) to create a series of platforms. Arrange them in a line, leaving a small gap between each one. This gap is crucial because it adds to the suspense and makes it visually clear which platforms are safe and which aren't. Group all these platforms together by selecting them and pressing Ctrl+G (Cmd+G on Mac). Name this group “BridgePlatforms.”

Next, you'll need to create the surrounding structure to contain the players. Add more Parts to create walls on either side of the bridge. Make these walls tall enough so players can't easily jump over them. Color them a dark, ominous color like black or dark grey to add to the tension. Also, create a starting platform and an ending platform. The starting platform should be large enough to hold all the players at the beginning of the game, and the ending platform should be the goal they're all striving for. Rename these parts appropriately, such as “StartingPlatform” and “EndingPlatform.” Remember, the visual appeal is key to making the game engaging, so spend some time making the environment look polished and professional. Use textures and materials to enhance the look of the walls and platforms, and consider adding some ambient lighting to set the mood.

Implementing the Glass Breaking Mechanism

Now for the fun part – making the glass break! This involves scripting, but don’t worry, I'll guide you through it. We’ll use Roblox’s scripting language, Lua, to detect when a player steps on a “breakable” glass platform and then make it disappear, simulating the glass breaking.

Inside your “BridgePlatforms” group, select one of your “GlassPlatform” parts. Insert a Script into this part. Rename the script to “BreakableScript.” Open the script and start coding. First, we need to detect when a player touches the glass platform. We can do this using the Touched event. Here’s the basic code:

local part = script.Parent

local function onPartTouch(otherPart)
 if (otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")) then
 part:Destroy()
 end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onPartTouch)

This script gets the parent of the script (which is the glass platform). It then defines a function onPartTouch that checks if the part touching the glass platform has a parent with a Humanoid (which means it's a player). If it is, the script destroys the glass platform. Finally, it connects the Touched event of the glass platform to the onPartTouch function. This means that whenever something touches the glass platform, the onPartTouch function will be executed.

Now, here’s where it gets a bit tricky. We don’t want every glass platform to break, only some of them. To do this, we’ll randomly decide whether a glass platform should be breakable. Add a new BoolValue inside the “GlassPlatform” and rename it to “IsBreakable.”

Modify your script to check the value of “IsBreakable” before breaking the glass:

local part = script.Parent
local isBreakableValue = part:FindFirstChild("IsBreakable")

local function onPartTouch(otherPart)
 if (otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and isBreakableValue and isBreakableValue.Value == true) then
 part:Destroy()
 end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onPartTouch)

This updated script now checks if the “IsBreakable” BoolValue exists and if its value is true. Only if both conditions are met will the platform break. Now, duplicate this entire glass platform (with the script and the BoolValue) to create the rest of your bridge. For each platform, decide whether it should be breakable or not by setting the “IsBreakable” value to true or false in the properties window.

To make it more interesting, you can add a visual effect when the glass breaks. For example, you can add a particle emitter to the glass platform that emits shards of glass when the platform is destroyed. To do this, insert a ParticleEmitter into the “GlassPlatform.” Customize the particle emitter to look like glass shards by adjusting the texture, size, and speed of the particles. In your script, before part:Destroy(), add code to enable the particle emitter:

local part = script.Parent
local isBreakableValue = part:FindFirstChild("IsBreakable")
local particleEmitter = part:FindFirstChild("ParticleEmitter")

local function onPartTouch(otherPart)
 if (otherPart.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and isBreakableValue and isBreakableValue.Value == true) then
 if (particleEmitter) then
 particleEmitter.Enabled = true
 wait(1)
 particleEmitter.Enabled = false
 end
 part:Destroy()
 end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onPartTouch)

This will enable the particle emitter for one second before destroying the platform, creating a nice visual effect. You can also add a sound effect to play when the glass breaks to further enhance the experience.

Adding Player Elimination and Game Logic

Okay, so now you have a bridge that breaks, but what happens when a player falls? We need to add some game logic to handle player elimination and determine a winner. This involves creating a system to track players, detect when they fall, and teleport them back to the starting area or eliminate them from the game.

First, create a ServerScriptService in your game. This is where we’ll put the scripts that manage the game logic. Inside the ServerScriptService, add a new Script and rename it to “GameManager.” This script will handle player tracking, elimination, and game state.

Here’s some basic code to get you started:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
 player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
 -- Code to handle player joining the game
 end)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

This script listens for when a player joins the game and connects a function to the CharacterAdded event. This event fires whenever a player’s character spawns. Inside the CharacterAdded function, you can add code to teleport the player to the starting platform.

To detect when a player falls off the bridge, we’ll need to use the Humanoid.Died event. Modify your CharacterAdded function like this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
 player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
 local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
 if (humanoid) then
 humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
 -- Code to handle player falling off the bridge
 character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)) -- Teleport to start
 end)
 end
 end)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

This code finds the Humanoid in the player’s character and connects a function to the Died event. When the player dies (e.g., by falling off the bridge), the function is executed. In this example, the function teleports the player back to the coordinates (0, 10, 0), which you should adjust to be the location of your starting platform.

To properly eliminate players, you might want to keep track of who is still in the game. Create a table to store the players who are still alive:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local alivePlayers = {}

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
 table.insert(alivePlayers, player)

 player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
 local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
 if (humanoid) then
 humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
 -- Code to handle player falling off the bridge
 table.remove(alivePlayers, table.find(alivePlayers, player))
 character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)) -- Teleport to start
 end)
 end
 end)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

This code adds each player to the alivePlayers table when they join the game. When a player dies, it removes them from the table. You can then use this table to determine when there is only one player left, indicating a winner.

Polishing and Testing

Alright, guys, we're almost there! Now it’s time to polish up your game and make sure everything works smoothly. This involves testing the game thoroughly, fixing any bugs, and adding extra features to make the game more engaging.

Start by playtesting your game. Invite some friends to join and see how they interact with the glass bridge. Pay attention to any issues that arise, such as platforms not breaking correctly, players getting stuck, or the game logic not working as expected. Use the Roblox Studio debugger to help identify and fix any errors in your scripts.

One common issue is players accidentally jumping over the glass platforms. To prevent this, you can add invisible walls above the bridge to limit the player's jump height. Simply create some thin, transparent parts and position them above the bridge. Make sure they are tall enough to prevent jumping over, but not so tall that they are visually distracting.

Another way to enhance the game is to add a timer. Display a countdown timer on the screen to create a sense of urgency. You can use a ScreenGui and a TextLabel to display the timer. Update the text of the TextLabel every second to show the remaining time. When the timer runs out, you can eliminate any players who have not reached the end of the bridge.

Consider adding a leaderboard to track player progress and performance. You can use Roblox’s built-in leaderboard service or create your own custom leaderboard. Display the leaderboard on the screen so players can see how they stack up against each other. This adds a competitive element to the game and encourages players to keep trying.

Finally, don’t forget to optimize your game for performance. If you have a lot of players in your game, it can start to lag. Reduce the number of parts and scripts to improve performance. Use streamingEnabled to load only the parts of the game that are visible to the player. Test your game on different devices to ensure it runs smoothly on all platforms.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully created a glass bridge game in Roblox Studio. With a little creativity and attention to detail, you can create a truly thrilling and engaging experience for your players. Happy developing!
