Installing Roblox Studio

If you already have Roblox Studio installed, feel free to skip this section.

Head to the Create tab ( www.roblox.com/Create ). You need to download Roblox Studio if you don't have it installed. Roblox Studio is the platform to create a game on Roblox, where all the games are created.
- Roblox Studio is currently only available on Windows and Mac. You can download Roblox Studio on a Chromebook, but you will need Linux. Please note that Linux devices (excluding Chromebooks), mobile devices, consoles, etc. will not work and are not compatible.
It should be the very large button in the middle of the screen.

Open up the download when it is complete. This is the installation package.
- On Chrome, click the bottom box and the bottom of your screen. It will automatically open. If you closed it, you can use Ctrl + J to check the download.
- On Microsoft Edge, it will prompt you when it's done downloading.
5
Wait. A blue Roblox (Roblox Studio), will open up. It will tell you that it's installing. Depending on your network connection, the download time may vary, but it should be quick!
- After it's complete, it might close, but don't worry. That's part of the process. When it closes, a new menu will open afterward!
6
Log in. After the installation menu closes, a new window will open up shortly. You'll see a log in menu.
- In the Username box, fill in your Roblox username.
- In the Password box, fill in your Roblox password corresponding to your account.
7
Click the "New" button on your left menu. In there, select any template you want!
- Your template isn't too important, depending on what exactly you want your game to be like.
It might take some time!

It should be located on the top menu. A "model" is a combined object of parts, but you only need a part to make a kill block.

Add a part. Click Part under the model tab. There should be a drop-down button once you click on it. Select the type of block you want to use.
- It doesn't matter about the shape of the model. It all can be used as a kill block!
3
Find your model in the Explorer menu. The Explorer menu is the menu on the right side of your screen. Your part should be automatically named "Part." Find your part and click on it.
- Remember to only click on it once.
It should be "Part +". Click on the + .
It should look like a blue scroll.

Warning! Remember to click Script , not Local Script or Module Script .

Question

Can you keep removing a certain amount of health or does it always have to kill you immediately?

In the line humanoid.Health = 0, you can change the 0 to match whatever health you want the player to be when they touch the block.
