How to make Magic Spells in Roblox! [Grimoire System] (Roblox Studio Scripting Tutorial 2024)

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will create a magic spell system in Roblox, featuring a grimoire mechanic similar to what you might find in Black Clover. In essence, players can equip a grimoire and use different spells. This tutorial is perfect for those looking to dive deeper into Roblox scripting and game design!

Step 1: Setting Up Your Environment

Before we begin, make sure you have the following assets prepared:

• A grimoire model
• A fireball spell model
• Sound effects for equipping the grimoire and the fireball attack

1. Grimoire Setup:

   • Find a grimoire model in the Toolbox and place it in Replicated Storage for easy access later.
   • Locate a fireball attack model (also from the Toolbox) and store it in Server Storage.

2. Sound Effects:

   • Acquire sounds for the grimoire equip action and the fireball attack from the Toolbox.

Step 2: Creating the Local Script

1. Navigate to StarterPlayer and StarterPlayerScripts.
2. Create a local script and name it Magic Script. In this script, you will define variables for input, sound service, player, and the remote event named MagicEvent.
3. Code the grimoire equip function:
   • Use the UserInputService to capture key inputs, specifically the E key to equip or unequip the grimoire.
   • Create logic to clone the grimoire and attach it to the player's left hand.
   • Incorporate an animation for equipping the grimoire.

-- Sample Snippet for Equipping Grimoire
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local grimoireEquipped = false

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, processed)
    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard and not processed then
        if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
            grimoireEquipped = not grimoireEquipped
            if grimoireEquipped then
                -- Equip Grimoire Code
            else
                -- Unequip Grimoire Code
            end
        end
    end
end)

Step 3: Setting Up the Server Script

1. Go to ServerScriptService, create a new script, and name it Magic Script (Server).
2. In this script, define similar variables for services.
3. Write the logic to handle the remote event when a spell is cast, including hitbox mechanics and spell effects.

-- Sample Snippet for the Spell Functionality
local magicEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("MagicEvent")

magicEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, spellType, position)
    if spellType == "Spell One" then
        -- Fireball Logic
    end
end)

Testing the Game

Once you've finished scripting, thoroughly test your game to ensure that both the grimoire mechanic and the fireball spell function as intended. Make adjustments to CFrame and properties as needed to perfect your mechanics.

If all went well, your players should now be able to equip a grimoire and cast dynamic spells!
