To work correctly in a race, the driftspeeder can only have one body. But, it can have as many wings and other parts as you'd like.
## Change snapping
Before adding wings, set **rotate snapping** to make it easier to position your wings. Snapping rotates parts a set amount a time.
1. In the toolbar, make sure **Rotate** snapping is enabled.
1. Set it to `45°`.

title: Customize and share

next: /education/build-it-play-it-galactic-speedway/going-for-a-race
description: Learn how to modify a Luau script in Roblox Studio to customize how your spaceship handles and flies in the Build It Play It Galactic Speedway challenge.
---
<img src="../../assets/education/build-it-play-it-galactic-speedway/customize-and-share/hero-group.jpeg" width="100%" />
This last lesson is all about putting the final touches on the driftspeeder, such as making it faster or quicker to turn. Once finished, take flight and share your work with friends.
## Modify the Engine
To change a driftspeeder's speed or how quickly it can turn, you'll open the **_Settings_** script. In Roblox, code is typed inside of scripts using the coding language [Luau](https://luau.org). Games often have separate scripts for each thing the game needs to do.
1. Click on your speeder.
1. In the **Explorer** window, look for the **Garage** folder and your driftspeeder.
1. Next to the driftspeeder's name, click the &#9656; arrow to expand it. Then, find **Body** and click the &#9656; to see the attached script.
<img src="../../assets/education/build-it-play-it-galactic-speedway/customize-and-share/open-explorer-garage.png" width="40%" />
1. Double-click the **Settings** script to open it.
## The Settings script
In the script, you'll see words like `DefaultSpeed` or `BoostSpeed`. These words are **variables**. Variables are placeholders for information that can be changed as needed.
```lua
-- ================================================================================
-- Settings
-- ================================================================================
local Settings = {}
Settings.DefaultSpeed = 100 -- Speed when not boosted [Studs/second, Range 50-300]
Settings.BoostSpeed = 200 -- Speed when boosted [Studs/second, Maximum: 400]
Settings.BoostAmount = 10 -- Duration of boost in seconds
Settings.Steering = 5 -- How quickly the speeder turns [Range: 1-10]
-- ================================================================================
return Settings
```
Make your speeder the fastest on the track by increasing the default speed setting.
1. Change the number in the line `Settings.DefaultSpeed = 100` to any number between `50` (slower) and `300` (faster).
```lua
Settings.DefaultSpeed = 100 -- Speed when not boosted [Studs/second, Range 50-300]
Settings.BoostSpeed = 200 -- Speed when boosted [Studs/second, Maximum: 400]
Settings.BoostAmount = 10 -- Duration of boost in seconds
Settings.Steering = 5 -- How quickly the speeder turns [Range: 1-10]
```
1. Playtest and see how the change feels. Ask yourself if the speed fits the driftspeeder's design and if you'd be excited using it in a race.
<GridContainer numColumns="2">
<figure>
<video controls src="../../assets/education/build-it-play-it-galactic-speedway/customize-and-share/speed50.mp4" width="100%"></video>
<figcaption>`Settings.DefaultSpeed = 50`</figcaption>

<figcaption>`Settings.DefaultSpeed = 300`</figcaption>
</figure>
</GridContainer>
1. Stop the playtest when finished. Remember, because you can't use your mouse while flying, press <kbd>E</kbd> to exit the speeder so you can stop the playtest.
<Alert severity="info">
<AlertTitle>Making multiple speeders</AlertTitle>
If you make multiple speeders, make each one feel unique by giving them different strengths and weaknesses. One speeder might be slower normally, but have a faster boost. Another speeder might be very fast, but slow to turn.

## Get ready to build
To move parts where you want them, first turn off **collisions** and **move snapping**. Turning off collisions allow objects to pass through one another. Having snapping off lets you freely move objects.
1. In the toolbar, click the **Geometric** button and make sure **Collisions** is turned off.
1. Make sure that **Move** snapping is also turned **off**.
<img src="../../assets/education/general/Snap-Settings-B.png" width="510" />
## Change the camera view
To work on the driftspeeder, use the camera controls below.

As you build, parts can be used more than once by creating duplicates. This is useful for reusing a part from the scrapyard, or copying something already added to the speeder.
1. Click the wing you just added and duplicate it (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd><kbd>D</kbd> or <kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>D</kbd>). Nothing obvious will happen in the 3D viewport because with collisions off, the wing overlaps the original.
1. Use the **Move**, **Rotate**, and **Scale** tools to position it differently than the first.

## Continue building
Now that you know how to work with parts, add as many wings as you'd like to create a cool design.
Use the following designs as inspiration:

All of the parts for building your driftspeeder and the code for the annual Junker's Canyon Race are included in the **Galactic Speedway** template.
## Open the template
Time to open Roblox Studio! If you need to, [download Studio](https://www.roblox.com/create), then click the following button to open the **Galactic Speedway** template.
<UseStudioButton variant="" buttonTextTranslationKey="Action.EditInStudio" placeId="8136629976" universeId="3128984898" />
## Junker's Canyon
With the template open, you can see Junker's Canyon, home to crafty builders and daring racers. To build your driftspeeder, **salvage** parts from the scrapyard and combine them in the work area. Once you're done, race your driftspeeder over the **racetrack waters** to be the champion of Junker's Canyon.
## Close extra windows
The first time you launch Roblox Studio, extra windows might open up that aren't needed right now. Closing the extra windows will give you more space to work. You can always open them up again later.
1. Close each window on the **left** of the 3D view by clicking the **&times;** in the window's upper-right corner. If you don't see anything to close on the left, go to the next step.
2. Leave the **Explorer** and **Properties** windows open on the right side of Studio. If you have done each step correctly, Studio looks like the following image.
<img src="../../assets/education/general/Studio-Setup-Galactic-Speedway.jpg" width="960" />
<Alert severity="warning">
If you don't see the **Explorer** and **Properties** windows on the right, toggle them on from Studio's **Window** menu.

The driftspeeder is almost complete! Everything just needs to be **grouped** into a single model. Once grouped, the code attached to the body will work for the entire speeder.
1. Before grouping, get a good view of your entire design by positioning your camera above it, then click and drag to select **only** the driftspeeder parts.
2. Right-click anywhere and select **Group** (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd><kbd>G</kbd> or <kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>G</kbd>) to combine everything into one model.
<video controls src="../../assets/education/build-it-play-it-galactic-speedway/grouping-the-parts/grouping.mp4" width="80%"></video>
3. Before moving on, double-check that everything is grouped by moving the driftspeeder. If any pieces were left behind, or you grouped objects not part of the speeder, undo the grouping (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd><kbd>Z</kbd> or <kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>Z</kbd>) and try again.

## Download Roblox Studio
To start, you'll need Roblox Studio. This program is used to create every game on Roblox and is available free for **PC** and **Mac**.
If you've played Roblox games on your computer, you already have Studio installed. While creating, we strongly recommend using a **3-button mouse with a scroll wheel**.
<Alert severity="info">
If you're completely new to Roblox, follow these instructions to get started:
1. [Sign up for an account.](https://www.roblox.com/account/signupredir)
2. Download [Roblox Studio.](https://www.roblox.com/create)
3. After installing, double-click the Roblox Studio desktop icon (Windows) or click the dock icon (Mac).
4. On the login screen, enter your Roblox username and password, then click **Log In**.
With your new account, remember these safety tips:
- **Never share your password**, even with a real life friend.
- **Make your password hard to guess** -- If your username is "bloxdev," your password should not be "bloxdev123."
- **Roblox employees will never ask for your password** -- Report anyone who asks using the [Report Abuse](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/articles/203312410)feature.
- **There's no such thing as free Robux** -- Never trust players or sites who say they have a secret way to get free Robux!
For more tips, please see <a href = "https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203313380-Account-Security-Theft-Keeping-your-Account-Safe-" >Keeping Your Account Safe</a>.

It's a good idea to publish your game every ten minutes while you're working or whenever you make a big change. Once published, you can edit it from any computer. For now, your game will be private, but once the driftspeeder is ready, you'll make it public for everyone to play.
1. Select **File** → **Publish to Roblox** to open the publishing window.
2. Enter a place name and an optional description.
3. When ready, click the **Create** button.

width="100%" />
Swap driftspeeders with your friends by sharing it as an asset. Assets are parts of a Roblox game, like a 3D model or sound, that are stored online.
To share your speeder with friends:
1. Select your driftspeeder. In the **Explorer** window, right-click the highlighted speeder model and select **Save to Roblox** from the contextual menu. The **Asset Configuration** window displays.
1. Give the model a **title** and **description**. This information is used so other players can search for new models and understand what they're downloading.
1. Click the **Submit** button. The **Asset Configuration** window displays two links to see your asset on the Creator Dashboard.
1. Click the link to the **Configure** page. Your default web browser opens.
<img src="../../assets/education/build-it-play-it-galactic-speedway/sharing-your-speeders/LinktoCD.png" width="60%" />
1. Under the **Distribution** section, enable the **Distribute on Creator Store** toggle. This allows your friends to copy your speeder into their inventory.
<img src="../../assets/education/build-it-play-it-galactic-speedway/sharing-your-speeders/DistributeonCS.png" width="680" />
## View and use models
If you've added models from friends, or just want to reuse your own, find them in the **Inventory**. This stores any models you've added and lets you add them into a game.
1. Ask a friend to share the link to their 3D model asset. Each link should follow a formula like this: `www.roblox.com/library/0123456789/My-Speeder`
1. Open the link in your web browser.
1. On the page for the asset, click the **Get Model** button to add it into your inventory.
<img src="../../assets/education/build-it-play-it-galactic-speedway/sharing-your-speeders/GetModelButton.png" width="100%" />
1. In Studio, find the **Toolbox**. If it's not visible, open it from the **Window** menu.
1. In the **Toolbox** window, click the icon for **Inventory**.
<img src="../../assets/education/general/Toolbox-Inventory.png" width="360" />
1. Make sure the left dropdown is set to **My Models**, then find and click on your friend's speeder. This will add the speeder into your experience.
<Alert severity="warning">
<AlertTitle>Thumbnail Blank?</AlertTitle>
If you just uploaded a model, you might see a temporary placeholder instead of a thumbnail. It may take some time until the new asset has been reviewed by Roblox moderators.

Before moving on, take time to check that your speeder works correctly.
1. Click **Play** to test.
<img src="../../assets/education/general/play-button.png" width="360" />
2. In the experience, walk up to the robot character under the spaceship sign and press <kbd>E</kbd> to open up a menu. On that screen, select **Race** and pick your speeder in the selection menu.
<img src="../../assets/education/build-it-play-it-galactic-speedway/test-the-speeder/select-speeder.png" width="80%" />
3. While flying, make sure that your driftspeeder looks as you intended. Then **stop** the playtest and, if needed, fix any issues. Remember, you can stop playtesting with <kbd>Shift</kbd><kbd>F5</kbd>.
<video controls src="../../assets/education/build-it-play-it-galactic-speedway/test-the-speeder/test-speeder.mp4" width="80%"></video>
## Troubleshoot the speeder
If your driftspeeder does not show up in the selection screen, check the following steps:
**Make sure the speeder is in the Garage.**
1. Click on your speeder to help locate it in the **Explorer** window.
2. In the **Explorer** window, check that it's inside the **Garage** folder.
3. If not in **Garage**, use **Cut** and **Paste Into** to move it there.
**Check that the speeder has a Body.**
The code in game only loads speeders that have a Body part grouped within its model.
