What is Ro-Nui?
Ro-Nui (or Ro-Nui Online Game) is a 3D, ROBLOX version of Mata Nui online game (Or MNOG). That name may be familiar to some of you, to the rest, MNOG is a 2001 flash game by LEGO, to advertise Bionicle, at the time the best selling LEGO theme. I personally love Bionicle, but anyways, after flash stopped being supported by most browsers, I wanted to make a ROBLOX version of it. So I started.
- Making the Movement system.
if you didn’t know, MNOG is a 2D, click to move adventure game. So I wanted to make a quick movement module.
local module = {}
function module.Move(part)
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.MoveEvent
part.MoveD.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
event:FireClient(plr)
plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(part.Position.X,part.Position.Y - part.Position.Y,part.Position.Z)
end)
end
return module
-
Modeling.
(This is how Tohunga look like:)
Modeling was going to be the hardest part, I already had some masks and heads for the toa and tohugna (matoran), but, I needed the bodies for each character.
I made the body using negative unions, and then I needed to make the limbs.
I started off making a quarter circle, and make it very thin to make it look like a tohunga arm. I then added small out crops to make it look more like the arms.
I then began working on the hands. In MNOG, there is only the grab hand, unlike the sets where there are 2 hands, the grab hand, and the disk throwing hand, so I made a grab hand. I added the head, the arms, and the hands to a body, creating Macku in ROBLOX!

Detailed modeling.
After making 75% of the tohunga, I had to make the feet.
This is how the feet look:
I had a troublesome time making them.
After sometime, I got to a basic version of the feet that I am happy with.
Conclusion:
Not many people will understand this, but if you made it to the end of the log, I at least hope that you have an idea of what I am trying to make, If you don’t, search up videos of Mata Nui Online Game, but If you understood everything to the end, please consider liking this topic, I have been working incredibly hard on this project.
If you know Bionicle lore like me, and you have some ideas, (like bohrok , MNOG2, or even MNOG3) please comment this down below!
