title: Code the story
|
||||
description: Part of the Story Games series that teaches you to code in Roblox. Use string variables and concatenation to code the story script.

|
||||
|
||||
After the player answers all of the questions, they'll get to see their answers combined with the story. The story will also be stored in a variable using strings and then be combined with the strings holding the player's answers.
|
||||
|
||||
## Code the first string
|
||||
|
||||
Remember the first sentence you wrote for the story? Time to add that into the code.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make sure the playtest is stopped.
|
||||
2. Go back to the script by clicking on the StoryManager script tab above the game editor. If you don't see the script, look at the Explorer, find StoryManager, and double click it.
|
||||
3. Under where you typed the question, create a new variable named `story`. Make sure the variable name is **lowercase**.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- Code story between the dashes
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
|
||||
|
||||
local story
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. To find the first string, go back to the original story. Circle or highlight everything **before** the first placeholder. If your variable happens to be in the middle of a sentence, the rest can be added later.
|
||||
|
||||
**Original Placeholder**: _In a tree on a hill, lives the great wizard_ name1.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Have the story variable store the string like below. Make sure to add a space after the last word but before the quotation mark.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- Code story between the dashes
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
|
||||
|
||||
local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard "
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Add the name
|
||||
|
||||
Next, the first string of the story needs to be combined with the player's answer. Combining things together is called **concatenation**. To combine the two strings together, use `..`
|
||||
|
||||
1. On the same line as the story variable, type ..
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- Code story between the dashes
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
|
||||
|
||||
local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " ..
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Still on the same line, type the name of the variable holding the player's answer.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- Code story between the dashes
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
|
||||
|
||||
local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " .. name1
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Show the story
|
||||
|
||||
Now that the story is typed, it needs to be shown to players. T
|
||||
|
||||
1. Under the second dashed line, find `storyMaker:Write()`. Between the `()`, type the variable `story`. This tells the program to write the story in the game.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- Code story between the dashes
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
|
||||
|
||||
local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " .. name1
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
-- Add the story variable between the parenthesis below
|
||||
storyMaker:Write(story)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Playtest the game. You should see the two strings (show by different colors in the picture below) combined together.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting tips
|
||||
|
||||
If the sentence didn't show up, try one of the following.
|
||||
|
||||
**If the question is not being asked**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Check that the question is inside of quotation marks.
|
||||
|
||||
**If the story is combined**:
|
||||
|
||||
- The first part of the story is inside of quotation marks.
|
||||
- The name of the variable holding the player answers matches exactly. Capitalization counts!
|
||||
- The name of the variable holding the player's answer is not inside of quotation marks.
|
||||
- The two strings are separated by `..`
|
||||
|
||||
**If the story doesn't appear**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Look at `storyMaker:Write()`. Check that in between the `()` is the `story` variable.

title: Code a question
|
||||
description: Part of the Story Games series that teaches you to code in Roblox. Code the first question asked to players.
|
||||
next: /education/build-it-play-it-story-games/test-and-save
|
||||
prev: /education/build-it-play-it-story-games/start-coding
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
Remember how you wrote a sentence for your story, then swapped a word out for a placeholder? It's time to give players a chance to add something to your experience.
|
||||
|
||||
In the script, the placeholder you made will be a **variable**. In coding, variables are placeholders for information, in this case a word.
|
||||
|
||||
You'll start by asking players a question. Then, they'll type in an answer that gets **stored** in the variable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Create a variable
|
||||
|
||||
Variables have names that tell programmers what they store. In this case, you'll create a variable called `name1` for the placeholder.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click below the dashed lines and type `local name1`.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- GLOBAL VARIABLES
|
||||
local storyMaker = require(script:WaitForChild("StoryMaker"))
|
||||
|
||||
-- Code controlling the game
|
||||
local playing = true
|
||||
|
||||
while playing do
|
||||
storyMaker:Reset()
|
||||
|
||||
-- Code story between the dashes
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
local name1
|
||||
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
|
||||
-- Add the story variable between the parenthesis below
|
||||
storyMaker:Write()
|
||||
|
||||
-- Play again?
|
||||
playing = storyMaker:PlayAgain()
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Set a variable
|
||||
|
||||
Now players need to have a chance to put something inside the placeholder. To change a variable, it needs to be **set** to something using the **=** symbol.
|
||||
|
||||
1. After `name1`, make sure to add a space and then type `=`.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
while playing do
|
||||
storyMaker:Reset()
|
||||
|
||||
-- Code story between the dashes
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
local name1 =
|
||||
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
|
||||
-- Add the story variable between the parenthesis below
|
||||
storyMaker:Write()
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. After the equal sign, type `storyMaker:GetInput()`. The code must be typed exactly as is, and capital letters must match.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
while playing do
|
||||
storyMaker:Reset()
|
||||
|
||||
-- Code story between the dashes
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput()
|
||||
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
|
||||
-- Add the story variable between the parenthesis below
|
||||
storyMaker:Write()
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Type a question
|
||||
|
||||
Variables can store different types of data including small numbers, true or false values, and strings. **String** type variables are special because they can store whole sentences. It's easy to spot string type variables because they're always in quotation marks "like this".
|
||||
|
||||
The question to ask players will be a string variable.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In `GetInput()`, click **between** the parentheses. Inside type a question enclosed by quotation marks.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- Code story between the dashes
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
|
||||
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
end
|
||||
```

|
||||
|
||||
**Congratulations**, you just finished the latest Roblox Creator Challenge!
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you've completed the experience, here are a few ideas to take your experience further and keep learning.
|
||||
|
||||
## Share your experience
|
||||
|
||||
One of the most exciting features of Roblox is that it's really easy to share your experience with connections. Currently your experience is probably private, meaning only you can play it. For your connections to see the experience, you need to make it public.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select **File** (top left of Studio) and click **Experience Settings**.
|
||||
|
||||
1. On the left bar, select **Permissions**, then choose **Public**.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click the **Save** button.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the top right of Studio, click on the **Share** button. A pop-up menu displays.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click the **Copy Link** button, then share the link with your connections.
|
||||
|
||||
## Add more to the story
|
||||
|
||||
Although you completed the challenge, there's always more that you can add into the story.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are a few ideas:
|
||||
|
||||
**Add More Characters** – Think of one or two more characters in your story. Remember to create a new variable for each character, like name2 or name3.
|
||||
|
||||
**Add More Lines** – Write down a new sentence for your story and pick an object you can replace.

||||

<img src="../../assets/education/story-games/wcc_heroUsing.jpg" width="100%" />
|
||||
|
||||
You're **almost** done with the project!
|
||||
|
||||
What's left is to complete the first sentence, then add in another question to give players some more choice.
|
||||
|
||||
## Finish the sentence
|
||||
|
||||
To add more words or punctuation to the sentence, add another string using concatenation.
|
||||
|
||||
1. On the same line as the story variable, type `..`
|
||||
2. Add another string containing the rest of the sentence, or just punctuation. Don't forget to add an extra space at the end of the sentence.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- Code story between the dashes
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
|
||||
|
||||
local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " .. name1 .. ". "
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Add a second question
|
||||
|
||||
To ask a second question, create a new question and keep adding to the same variable holding the story.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Decide what word to delete from the second sentence in your story.
|
||||
|
||||
**Original Placeholder:** _Every morning, the wizard loves eating a giant bowl of honey roasted_ **food1**.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Beneath the first variable, create a new variable to act as a placeholder.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
|
||||
local food1
|
||||
|
||||
local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " .. name1 .. ". "
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Use `storyMaker:GetInput("")` to ask the player a question and store their answer.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
|
||||
local food1
|
||||
|
||||
local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " .. name1 .. ". "
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. In the story variable, concatenate the next story string using `..` Be sure to include a space after the end of the sentence.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
|
||||
local food1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite food?")
|
||||
|
||||
local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " .. name1 .. ". " .. "Every morning, the wizard loves eating a giant bowl of honey roasted "
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
<Alert severity="info">
|
||||
You may need to scroll in the code editor window to the right for longer sentences.
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
5. After the new story string, concatenate the answer for the second question and finish with punctuation.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
local name1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite name?")
|
||||
local food1 = storyMaker:GetInput("What is your favorite food?")
|
||||
|
||||
local story = "In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard " .. name1 .. ". " .. "Every morning, the wizard loves eating a giant bowl of honey roasted " .. food1 .. ". "
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Optional additions
|
||||
|
||||
If you're interested in developing the story more, we've included some ideas. For example, some ways of improving the story include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Add more lines to your story
|
||||
- Playtest the game every time you add a new set of variables and strings
|
||||
- Ask a peer or friend on what other words they would like to customize.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, below are some **tips and tricks** to make stories for fun for players.
|
||||
|
||||
### Use variables more than once
|
||||
|
||||
Variables can be used more than once — just use concatenation between strings where you want to include the word(s).
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Code**:
|
||||
`"I am " .. name1 .. " and you are in the palace of " .. name1 .. "!"`
|
||||
|
||||
**Result**:
|
||||
I am Sameth and you are in the palace of Sameth!
|
||||
|
||||
### Add line breaks
|
||||
|
||||
Line breaks can be added by typing `\n` in a string. Also, more than one line break can be combined like `\n\n`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Code**:
|
||||
`"One \n Two \n\n Three"`
|
||||
|
||||
**Result**:
|
||||
|
||||
One
|
||||
|
||||
Two
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
<br />
|
||||
Three

|
||||
|
||||
1. Download and install Roblox Studio.
|
||||
|
||||
<a href="https://www.roblox.com/create">
|
||||
<Button variant="contained">Download Studio</Button>
|
||||
</a>
|
||||
|
||||
2. After installing, double-click the desktop icon (Windows) or click the dock icon (Mac).
|
||||
3. On the login screen, enter your Roblox username and password, then click **Log In**.
|
||||
|
||||
<Alert severity="info">
|
||||
If you're new to Roblox and are <a href="https://www.roblox.com/home">signing up</a> for the first time, 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 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!
|
||||

With the story created, it's time to turn that vision into code using Roblox.
|
||||
|
||||
## Start Roblox Studio
|
||||
|
||||
The experience will be created using **Roblox Studio**. It's free to use and can instantly publish games to iPhone, Android, Xbox Live, PC, Mac, and VR.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open **Roblox Studio** by double-clicking the it's icon on the desktop (Windows) or clicking the dock icon (Mac).
|
||||
2. On the login screen, enter your Roblox username and password, then click Log In.
|
||||
|
||||
## Open the template
|
||||
|
||||
A template has been created that has everything needed for the experience to work, except the code for the actual story. Templates are pre-made worlds that you can use as a base for your own experiences.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download the template.
|
||||
|
||||
<a href="../../assets/education/story-games/Story_Games_Template.rbxl">
|
||||
<Button variant="contained">Download Template</Button>
|
||||
</a>
|
||||
|
||||
2. In Roblox Studio, in the top left, click **File** → **Open from File** and select the downloaded file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Close extra windows
|
||||
|
||||
The first time you launch Roblox Studio, extra windows might open up that you don't need right now. Closing the extra windows will give you more space to see what you're doing.
|
||||

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. The library template already has a script named **StoryManager** which you'll add more code to for your word game.
|
||||
|
||||
## Find the StoryManager
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the **Explorer** window, click the arrow next to **StarterGUI** to see everything beneath it.
|
||||
2. Click the arrow next to **GameGUI** to expand that section.
|
||||
3. Double-click the **StoryManager** script to open it.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Script contents
|
||||
|
||||
The script already contains some of the code that's necessary for showing the completed story to the player. All of the code you create will be typed below the dashed lines.
|
||||
|
||||
For now, notice how a large portion of the script starts with the `--` symbol. Lines of code starting with `--` are called **comments**. These are used to leave notes for coders and don't change the way a program runs.
|
||||
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
-- GLOBAL VARIABLES
|
||||
local storyMaker = require(script:WaitForChild("StoryMaker"))
|
||||
|
||||
-- Code controlling the game
|
||||
local playing = true
|
||||
|
||||
while playing do
|
||||
storyMaker:Reset()
|
||||
|
||||
-- Code story between the dashes
|
||||
-- =============================================
|
||||
|
||||

|

storyMaker:Write()
|
||||
|
||||
-- Play again?
|
||||
playing = storyMaker:PlayAgain()
|
||||
end

This is a good point at which to check your code and make sure it runs. Testing your code often makes it easier to figure out where you might have made a mistake.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Test your by code by clicking the **Play** button.
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../../assets/education/general/play-button.png" width="360" />
|
||||
|
||||
2. Walk up to the pedestal using <kbd>W</kbd> <kbd>A</kbd> <kbd>S</kbd> <kbd>D</kbd> on your keyboard and press <kbd>E</kbd>.
|
||||
|
||||
<table>
|

3. Check to see if your question is displayed. **Don't** try to answer the question or click the "Submit" button. The code for that isn't made yet.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Save your code
|
||||
|
||||
It's important to save the whole project by **publishing** it to Roblox. It's a good idea to publish every ten minutes while you're working or after making a big change.
|
||||
|
||||
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. Once published, games can be edited from any computer since they're connected to your account.

title: Write the story

|

|
||||
## Brainstorm ideas
|
||||
|
||||
Before coding, write the story you'll use as the base of your game. The story can be about anything you wish.
|
||||
|
||||
To start, on a piece of paper or using a text editor, **write 2-3 sentences** for the opening paragraph. Here's a few story ideas to get you started:
|
||||
|
||||
- Your dream vacation
|
||||
- What a wizard eats for breakfast
|
||||
- A superhero's shopping trip
|
||||
|
||||
An example story is below:
|
||||
|
||||
_In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard Nia. Every morning, the wizard loves eating a giant bowl of honey roasted lizard leaf._
|
||||
|
||||
## Create placeholders
|
||||
|
||||
With an idea for a story, you can start the process of turning it into a game.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember, in your experience, players will type in words that **replace** key parts of your story. For this step, you'll find parts of the story that can be **placeholders**, where a player can add in their own input.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the first sentence, pick a single word to be replaced by the player such as a name, action, or a noun. In this example, we'll select the wizard's name.
|
||||
|
||||
_In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard **Nia**._
|
||||
|
||||
2. Replace the word with a placeholder for what type of word you'll ask the player for. Since you might end up asking the player for more than one noun or adjective, number the playerholder.
|
||||
|
||||
_In a tree on a hill lives the great wizard **name1**._
|
||||
|
||||
With the sentence created, it's time to turn it into code!
