One way in per topic. None of these assume you already know.
In the suggested order
Lua ScriptingBeginnerYou watched 60 videos, you know what a variable is, and the blank Studio screen still wins every time you open an empty place. Swap the playlist for a 12-week plan of six blocks with deliverables, plus a coin script you type by hand instead of pasting.
Roblox AnimationBeginnerYou dragged Reflectance from 0 to 1 expecting the room to show up on your sphere and got clouds instead. Roblox reflects the skybox, not your map — here are the three layers that get you close to a Blender render, including a script that mirrors your scenery under the floor.
UGC & ItemsBeginnerYou uploaded (or want to upload) an accessory and you are not sure whether you have to put it on sale to wear it on your avatar. You do not: "on sale" is a separate button, and before that you can wear the item for free inside Studio.
Lua ScriptingBeginnerYou have eight .rbxl files saved, twelve ideas in a notes app and no published game. The fix is to stop looking for an idea, pick a verb and close a playable 60-second loop before you touch the map.
Lua ScriptingBeginnerYour group changed owner and the Robux balance vanished without anyone discovering your password. The theft comes in through a stolen session, a backdoor in a free model or a role with permission to spend funds — and you can close all three doors in an afternoon.
Monetize Your GameBeginnerA pass charges once for a permanent privilege. This guide covers the right order to create one, the price limits, why the privilege is not automatic, and what the official documentation marked for 30 May 2026.
Roblox AnimationBeginnerAnimating in Roblox is two things in two places: drawing the movement in the Animation Editor and telling it to play from a script. This guide walks both, with the Add Keyframe Here detail that ruins timelines and the case of the rig with no Humanoid.
Monetize Your GameBeginnerA developer product is what the player buys more than once. Creating one takes five minutes; what decides whether you deliver or lose the purchase is ProcessReceipt, and it has a response rule almost everybody discovers late.
UGC & ItemsBeginnerPublishing on the Marketplace has two different costs and most people only know one. An 80 Robux upload fee, a publishing advance that varies by item type — from 10 to 2500 Robux — and a rebate that returns the advance sale by sale.
DevEx & BusinessBeginnerNot every Robux in your account can become money. This guide separates what the documentation calls earned Robux from what it excludes, shows the official rates, and explains the queue rule that makes the old balance go out first, at the old rate.
UGC & ItemsBeginner3D accessories and clothing reach the Marketplace in two stages, Studio and publishing. The sentence that changes everything sits in the middle of the documentation: you cannot update or edit the asset and the thumbnail after submitting.
Lua ScriptingBeginnerThe built-in Roblox leaderboard has three tabs and two different data sources. The Here tab comes from a folder called leaderstats — and its name, in lowercase, is the difference between working and showing nothing at all.
Lua ScriptingBeginnerA ModuleScript is how you reuse code in Roblox. The rule that explains half the hard bugs: require runs the module only once and always returns the same reference — and on the client and the server, one for each side.
Monetize Your GameBeginnerA private server charges monthly and leaves the game open; paid access charges once and closes the door. The two do not coexist — and changing the private server price cancels every active subscription at once.
DevEx & BusinessBeginnerRetention measures who comes back after the first visit, at 1, 7 and 30 days. The axis is the date of the FIRST session, not of the return — and that is why today's D30 only exists a month from now.
Lua ScriptingBeginnerA door, a switch and a button do not need an interface of their own. The ProximityPrompt already shows the right key for each input type — and ProximityPromptService lets the whole game respond from one place.
Monetize Your GameBeginnerThe official documentation divides the foundations of monetization into three components and describes the shop as a destination, not a menu. The three questions that organise everything: what is being sold, where, and how.
Lua ScriptingBeginnerAn attribute is a property you invent, and it is the cleanest way to configure an object without a script inside it. What almost nobody knows: the engine does not guarantee the order in which things reach the client.
DevEx & BusinessBeginnerYour game's storefront has ten image or video slots, and video has a monthly quota of three. A rejected video spends the quota all the same — and the list of what gets rejected is narrower than it looks.
Lua ScriptingBeginnerA table is Luau's only collection type, and it works as an array and as a dictionary. Two things catch people coming from other languages: the index starts at 1, and removing an item during a loop reorders the table underneath you.
DevEx & BusinessBeginnerPlayers have an automatic translation option in their account, and it works in your game even if you never switched anything on. Manual translation always beats automatic — and there is text that should never be translated.
UGC & ItemsBeginnerThe review takes up to 24 hours, and passing it is not final. If Roblox removes an item that has already sold, it refunds everyone and cancels pending payments — and archiving is only possible 180 days after the upload.
Lua ScriptingBeginnerThe Touched event fires several times in a row because of subtle physical collisions. Without debounce, a trap dealing 10 damage takes far more than 10 — and the same applies to sound, collectibles and cooldowns.
UGC & ItemsBeginnerThe default thumbnail may not represent the item well, and there is an official plugin for framing the camera. The expensive detail: once the asset is uploaded, the thumbnail never changes.
