Roblox Studio — Editor, Test, Assets, MCP (Deutsch)

Übersicht & Zweck

Roblox Studio is the official editor: build the 3D scene, test the game in play mode, insert assets from the Creator Store, and publish the place. In a Rojo workflow, Studio owns the scene (Workspace, Terrain, placed models) and the testing — the code comes via Rojo from the filesystem (see skill /rojo).

This skill covers: Studio basics, the clean separation of scene and code work, AI control via the Roblox-Studio-MCP, and the asset workflow including the mandatory malware scan for every marketplace asset.

Basics

• Explorer — tree of all instances (Workspace, ServerScriptService, ReplicatedStorage, …). With Rojo active, the mapped areas are populated live from the filesystem.
• Play-Test — the green Play button (or F5) starts a local server+client session. After every start, check the Output console for errors — the most important debug reflex.
• Save place — File → Save As → .rbxl (binary) or .rbxlx (XML, diffable). The saved place contains the scene. Code lives in the filesystem, not in the place.

The critical workflow: scene mode vs. code mode

On Connect, Rojo overwrites all mapped script areas with the filesystem content. The Workspace (3D scene) is not mapped and stays intact. From this follows the most important rule of daily work — never mix the two modes:

Mode A — edit the scene (Rojo OFF):

1. Stop the Rojo server (taskkill //F //IM rojo.exe or Ctrl+C).
2. Open the place in Studio, place assets, build the world, arrange.
3. File → Save → the .rbxl now holds the new scene.

Mode B — test the code (Rojo ON):

1. Open the same place in Studio.
2. Start rojo serve → in Studio's Rojo plugin → Connect.
3. Press Play and test. Rojo syncs the scripts; the Workspace comes from the .rbxl.
4. While Rojo is running, do not save (otherwise the Rojo state freezes into the .rbxl).

This way, scene work (Studio) and code work (editor + Rojo) can run in parallel and conflict-free — artists build scenes, developers write code.

Roblox-Studio-MCP — AI controls Studio

The Roblox-Studio-MCP lets Claude/Gemini/Codex directly control a running Studio instance: execute code, inspect, Play/Stop, read the Console, insert assets. It does not replace Rojo — it complements it: Rojo for persistent code changes, MCP for inspection, tests, asset insertion, and material generation.

Available MCP tools (typical)

Setup (user-neutral)

The MCP runs as a server shipped with Studio, often connected via a thin JSON-filter wrapper (it filters out non-JSON banners that some clients otherwise cannot parse):

• MCP batch (Windows): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Roblox\mcp.bat
• optional wrapper: <your roblox-mcp wrapper> (if present on this system; shared by Claude/Codex/Gemini)
• Client configs: ~/.claude/mcp.json · ~/.codex/config.toml · ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json

Example entry (~/.claude/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Roblox_Studio": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["<your roblox-mcp wrapper>",
               "cmd.exe", "/c", "%LOCALAPPDATA%\\Roblox\\mcp.bat"]
    }
  }
}

Common MCP problems

Asset pipeline (Creator Store → game)

Greybox first (gameplay), assets later (before release). The proven sequence:

STORE DURCHSUCHEN   → z. B. "medieval" → mehrere Kandidaten laden
AUSSORTIEREN        → stilfremde/hässliche raus, 5–8 passende behalten
BEREINIGEN          → ALLE Scripts entfernen (Malware!), nur Geometrie/Meshes behalten
KIT / SET BAUEN     → aus Basis-Assets Varianten ableiten (gleiche Materials/Proportionen)
SZENE BAUEN (Studio)→ Assets zur Kulisse zusammensetzen (Dorf, Arena, Park)
ALS .RBXL SPEICHERN → die Kulisse ist die "Bühne"
ROJO BELEBT ES      → Scripts/Gameplay/HUD kommen per Rojo dazu; Workspace bleibt unangetastet

Variant technique ("modular kit"): Take a good base asset and derive a whole set from it (house → tower, barn, smithy, ruin). They all share materials, colors, and proportions → a consistent look with minimal effort, the way pro studios do it.

Asset sources (priority): Creator Store (free, huge, malware check mandatory) → AI materials (generate_material) → your own meshes (Blender → .fbx) → purchased asset packs.

MANDATORY: malware scan for marketplace assets

Creator Store assets can contain obfuscated malicious scripts (backdoors, remote code, bot-network hooks). Scan every imported asset before use and remove all scripts — keep only geometry/meshes.

• Pattern reference: references/malware-patterns.md — the 8 known obfuscation patterns (reversed attribute payload, fake system script, remote require(), loadstring, string.char, getfenv/setfenv, hidden Values, delayed execution).
• Scanner: scripts/scan_asset_malware.luau — run it in Studio via execute_luau (or the Command Bar); it checks an instance against all patterns and reports finds.

Red flags immediately: a large script in a pure decoration model · reversed strings in attributes · require(<number>) · loadstring · HttpService in an asset that needs no networking. When in doubt: delete the script. Document finds (e.g. _malware_reports/YYYY-MM-DD_*.md in the reference pipeline).

Important Luau/Studio pitfalls (excerpt)

The most common ones that bite in Studio — the full list is kept by the skill /rbx-dev:

• Model.Position does not exist → model:GetPivot().Position.
• tick() is deprecated → os.clock() / workspace:GetServerTimeNow().
• SetPrimaryPartCFrame() deprecated → model:PivotTo(cf).
• DataStore calls always in pcall.
• Baseplate + procedural floor at the same height → Z-fighting (flicker): remove the baseplate or raise the floor by +0.1 studs.
• Keep an eye on the part budget (~50–80 parts per procedurally generated room).
