How to go about learning Luau physics and constraints? (Bodymovers, etc)

[coolguyweir]

Hi,

I want to learn more about physics in roblox studio. Not much of scientific physics, but like cars and body movers and all that good stuff.
However, I don’t see any good tutorials out there, as opposed to something like datastore or certain backend tutorials.

If anyone can let me know how you learned it, that would be great!

Thanks!

If you want to learn how to implement bodymovers, the roblox create page has a lot of good tutorials and documentation on how they work. But if you want to learn how to use bodymovers to make cool things like cars, hoverboards, boats, etc, you will need to learn how the physics behind those things work.

Thanks for your response!

But what if I were to want to learn like, the parent category of body movers? All those physics related roblox studio subjects?
Is there somewhere I can go to see a whole collection of them?

The devforum post below explains all the new bodymovers, and includes a roblox place where you can try them out.

New Body Movers

Hey everyone! As you may or may not have known, the good folks on our Physics team have been working on a revamp of the body movers system. These new movers take advantage of the attachment/constraint system and all of the other optimizations we have been making under the hood. To help you get started, we’ve created a sample place showcasing the new movers in various configurations. While we tried to cover a lot of simple cases, this merely scratches the surface of what you can do, so don’t be…
