How do you script magic abilities?

So, I’m trying to figure out how to script magic abilities or sword abilities that are similar to these:

It seems really impossible to do for someone who doesn’t know where to begin. I have no clue how to approach it. Any insight into this type of scripting would be greatly appreciated. I’ve looked for tutorials and explanations but I can’t seem to find any. I just need to know the basic building blocks and the method behind the madness.

Thank you for reading! If I made any mistakes or if this is in the wrong category, please let me know. :slight_smile:

These kinds of “magical” abilities are very well made sequences that honestly require a lot of developing experience in general to make in all realms of ROBLOX (scripting, animating, building, gfx/particle design, etc). Unfortunately, there’s no real way to just say “you do x, y, z, and w ontop of all of that” to make this kind of stuff.

However, these are at least some of the topics you’ll want to search for and look into from the ROBLOX wiki (Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub) to start this kind of journey:

  • RemoteEvents/RemoteFunctions
  • Players/Characters
  • Animations
  • BodyMovers
  • ParticleEmitters

Essentially, anything you see in these clips from Twitter are subjects you’ll want to learn like the back of your hand. It will take a lot of time, dedication, and headaches, but ultimately if you persevere, you will be able to make something comparable.

Good luck!
