I’m wanting to make my own game, about just fighting enemies in randomly generated dungeons. It’s meant to be like cube cavern but different - Well thought through levels, lots of items and more. It’ll be fun and balanced while you play; enemies deal a balanced amount of damage, with common drops from them. The system I need help is, to make randomly generated dungeons like this.

Just a little representation of what I mean. If anyone can help, contact me on discord: moe#5958. I’m not smart enough to code the dungeon thing itself, just some advanced things like admin, datastorage, user list and chat list. I won’t let anything make me stop making the project I want to try master and create - just like my mining game.

Use math.random

30 charcters

Hi! A good way is to use square rooms.

Make a bunch of them up at the same size (like say, 80x80 studs) and have them sitting in a folder.

Then at runtime you can “make” a level just by cloning them into your workspace.

(You can see how I did it with this project here: Dungeon Shooter - Roblox )

Hey, thank’s for responding! I just need to know how I can generate them in random sections. An explanation on how to generate these rooms and make them be enterable without their entrances or exits leading to just the void or wall this would be great if you can help me out. I’ll design some rooms for starters, then try what you say in the explanation, if you want to elaborate. Again, thanks for responding.

How I did the doorways:

Each room has 4 doorways, that have little walls that can be deleted to make connections. North, south, east west.

How you can place the rooms: (Cellular automata style)

Make a table representing the used “space” in your map.

Place a seed room

For Num Rooms
Find an unused space neighboring an already filled space
place a new room

Then once all your rooms are placed
loop through and delete any doorways shared between rooms!

Okay. I’ll try this out in a bit. Remember, I’m not good at making things like this; so I’ll probably fail at it.

I realised I don’t even have the knowledge to make this. Thanks for the help anyways. I’ll only be able to make stats, items etc.
