How would I go on making a Ski Lift for a game?

The Building Support sub-category is intended for all development support relating to architecture on the Roblox platform. This includes questions ranging in difficulty from extremely basic to even the most
*I amying to make a Ski Lift Resort game.

  • I am not good at this type of stuff and need guidance.
  • I’ve looked on youtube and searched on Google I have found nothing really on how to build a Ski Lift.

Anything you can help with please and thank you!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I meant I don’t know how to make it work, as I am not a scripter and do not have enough robux to hire a scripter. Thank you

I assume you’re asking how to build a ski lift, not asking how to make it work.

I would really suggest just using reference pictures. You don’t necessarily need a guide to make it, just base it off of pictures. You need the towers, ropes, gear system, and chairs. I included some photos below.

I’m going to bed right now, but if you reply with further questions, I can help you out more tomorrow morning.

Oh yeah I did not make this clear I am asking how to make it work sorry.

While it is possible to make it work with building, it’ll most likely need to be done with scripting. In terms of building you’d probably be looking at using some old fashioned conveyor bricks/thrusters, but again ideally you’d want to have it scripted.

Okay thanks. This might help since I do not have the Robux right now for a scripter!

Collisions are abit glitchy with the Roblox physics engine, so I wouldn’t suggest using conveyer parts

A ski lift could be considered extremely similar to a train, and therefore I would recommend this post by EchoReaper which details the usage of an AlignPosition, AlignOrientation and CFrame (although tbh you probably wouldn’t need cframe). In fact, it would be better used for this purpose than a minecart, since there would be much fewer segments that you will save to create (and therefore much less attachments)
