Setting Up Your 2015 Roblox Obby
Creating an obby (obstacle course) in Roblox 2015 requires using Roblox Studio, which had a simpler interface compared to today’s version. Start by opening Roblox Studio and selecting “Build New” to create a fresh baseplate. The 2015 Studio featured a more basic toolbar with essential building tools like Move, Scale, and Rotate clearly visible at the top.
Essential Building Blocks and Parts
In 2015, you’ll work primarily with basic parts from the Insert menu. Click Insert > Object > Part to add blocks, then use the Properties panel to adjust their size, color, and material. Popular obby elements include:
- Jump platforms: Small rectangular parts spaced for challenging jumps
- Moving parts: Use BodyPosition and BodyVelocity objects to create moving platforms
- Kill blocks: Bright red parts with a script that respawns players on touch
- Checkpoints: Spawn locations marked with distinctive colors
Basic Scripting for 2015 Obbies
Roblox 2015 used simpler Lua scripting. For a basic kill brick, insert a Script into your part and add:
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
hit.Parent.Humanoid.Health = 0
end
end)
For checkpoints, you’ll need to modify player spawn locations using similar touch detection combined with changing the player’s SpawnLocation property.
Design Tips for 2015-Style Obbies
Keep your obstacle course linear and clearly marked. Use bright, contrasting colors to distinguish safe platforms from dangerous ones. The 2015 Roblox aesthetic favored simpler textures and solid colors rather than complex materials. Test your jumps carefully since the physics engine was slightly different, making some modern techniques unavailable.
Remember to publish your place through File > Publish to Roblox and set appropriate permissions for other players to enjoy your challenging obstacle course creation.
TL;DR
Create a 2015 Roblox obby using Roblox Studio’s basic parts, simple Lua scripts for kill blocks and checkpoints, and linear obstacle course design with clear visual cues.
