Creating the Generic Shapes Module

This module will contain the basic methods for drawing shapes such as squares, circles, cubes, spheres, panels, rectangles, discs, etc. As a module, it will be initially created with the default beginning and ending lines (see below).

Example:
local module = {}

return module
Change the class from "module" to "shapes"

Example:
local shapes = {}

return shapes
Add two comments to the beginning of the module to help document its location and purpose. Your code should now look like:

Example:
--ServerStorage.genericShapes (module)
--This module will be used to create generic shapes
local shapes = {}

return shapes
Add a method (for testing and debugging purposes) to this module. This method will be called: .helloWorld()

Example:
--ServerStorage.genericShapes (module)
--This module will be used to create generic shapes
local shapes = {}

--This function returns a string value
function shapes.helloWorld()
	return "Hello World"	
end

return shapes

Edit the BaseplateScript

The BaseplateScript will be executed when the Baseplate is drawn on the screen.

Example:
--baseplateScript
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local s = require(ServerStorage.genericShapes)
In the code above, the variable s is being assigned the module genericShapes.

Example:
--baseplateScript
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local s = require(ServerStorage.genericShapes)

print(s.helloWorld())
Now run the program and examine the output.

Edit the genericShapes Module to add shape methods

The genericShapes module will contain dozens of methods for creating and manipulating shapes. You will add the method below to the genericShapes module.

Example:
--This function creates a cube
function shapes.cube(size)
	local mainPart = Instance.new("Part")
	mainPart.Anchored = true
	mainPart.Shape = Enum.PartType.Block
	mainPart.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
	mainPart.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
	mainPart.Transparency = 0
	mainPart.Reflectance = 0.6
	mainPart.Parent = workspace
	mainPart.Size = Vector3.new(size,size,size)
	local zCoord = -15
	local xCoord = 0
	mainPart.Position = mainPart.Position + Vector3.new(xCoord,size/2,zCoord)
	return mainPart
end
Your genericShapes module should now look like:

Example:
--ServerStorage.genericShapes (module)
--This module will be used to create generic shapes
local shapes = {}

--This function returns a string value
function shapes.helloWorld()
	return "Hello World"	
end

--This function creates a cube
function shapes.cube(size)
	local mainPart = Instance.new("Part")
	mainPart.Anchored = true
	mainPart.Shape = Enum.PartType.Block
	mainPart.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
	mainPart.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
	mainPart.Transparency = 0
	mainPart.Reflectance = 0.6
	mainPart.Parent = workspace
	mainPart.Size = Vector3.new(size,size,size)
	local zCoord = -15
	local xCoord = 0
	mainPart.Position = mainPart.Position + Vector3.new(xCoord,size/2,zCoord)
	return mainPart
end

return shapes

Edit the baseplateScript to create this new shape

Example:
--baseplateScript
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local s = require(ServerStorage.genericShapes)

--print(s.helloWorld())

local mainPart = s.cube(10)
Run your program...

Creating a .fill() Method

This method will be created over a few steps and after some debugging

Start by adding the method below

Example:
--This function changes the color of the object
function shapes.fill(mainPart, colorValue)
	mainPart.Color = colorValue
end
Your genericShapes module should look like:

Example:
--ServerStorage.genericShapes (module)
--This module will be used to create generic shapes
local shapes = {}

--This function returns a string value
function shapes.helloWorld()
	return "Hello World"	
end

--This function creates a cube
function shapes.cube(size)
	local mainPart = Instance.new("Part")
	mainPart.Anchored = true
	mainPart.Shape = Enum.PartType.Block
	mainPart.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
	mainPart.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
	mainPart.Transparency = 0
	mainPart.Reflectance = 0.6
	mainPart.Parent = workspace
	mainPart.Size = Vector3.new(size,size,size)
	local zCoord = -15
	local xCoord = 0
	mainPart.Position = mainPart.Position + Vector3.new(xCoord,size/2,zCoord)
	return mainPart
end

--This function changes the color of the object
function shapes. Fill(mainPart, colorValue)
	mainPart.Color = colorValue
end

return shapes

Test the genericShapes .fill() method by editing the baseplateScript

Add the .fill() method to the mainPart object. This is shown as the last line below. Your baseplateScript should look like the example below.

Example:
--baseplateScript
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local s = require(ServerStorage.genericShapes)

--print(s.helloWorld())

local mainPart = s.cube(10)
mainPart = s.fill(mainPart, Color3.new(1, 0, 1))
Run it...

Add additional capabilities to the .fill() method

We will add the ability to pass a string (colorName) to the method.

Example:
--ServerStorage.genericShapes (module)
--This module will be used to create generic shapes
local shapes = {}

--This function returns a string value
function shapes.helloWorld()
	return "Hello World"	
end

--This function creates a cube
function shapes.cube(size)
	local mainPart = Instance.new("Part")
	mainPart.Anchored = true
	mainPart.Shape = Enum.PartType.Block
	mainPart.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
	mainPart.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
	mainPart.Transparency = 0
	mainPart.Reflectance = 0.6
	mainPart.Parent = workspace
	mainPart.Size = Vector3.new(size,size,size)
	local zCoord = -15
	local xCoord = 0
	mainPart.Position = mainPart.Position + Vector3.new(xCoord,size/2,zCoord)
	return mainPart
end

--This function changes the color of the object
function shapes.fill(mainPart, colorValue)
	if typeof(colorValue) == "Color3" then
		mainPart.Color = colorValue
	else
		if typeof(colorValue) == "string" then
			mainPart.Color = Color3.new(1, 0, 0)
		else
			print("Error in the Fill method.  You need to pass a Color3 vector or a string")
		end
	end
	return mainPart
end

return shapes
Currently with the example above, if a string is passed, the color will be set to: Color3.new(1, 0, 0) which is the color "red". We will now test this by updating the baseplateScript to pass a string.

Example:
--baseplateScript
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local s = require(ServerStorage.genericShapes)

--print(s.helloWorld())

local mainPart = s.cube(10)
mainPart = s.fill(mainPart, "red")
Run it...

Add a colorNames Table to the genericShapes module

The color names will be added to the genericShapes module above the methods.

Example: 
local colorName={

--This function returns a string value
function shapes.helloWorld()
	return "Hello World"	
end


--This function creates a cube
function shapes. Cube(size)
	local mainPart = Instance.new("Part")
	mainPart.Anchored = true
	mainPart.Shape = Enum.PartType.Block
	mainPart.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
	mainPart.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
	mainPart.Transparency = 0
	mainPart.Reflectance = 0.6
	mainPart.Parent = workspace
	mainPart.Size = Vector3.new(size,size,size)
	local zCoord = -15
	local xCoord = 0
	mainPart.Position = mainPart.Position + Vector3.new(xCoord,size/2,zCoord)
	return mainPart
end

--This function changes the color of the object
function shapes.fill(mainPart, colorValue)
	if typeof(colorValue) == "Color3" then
		mainPart.Color = colorValue
	else
		if typeof(colorValue) == "string" then

		else
			print("Error in the Fill method.  You need to pass a Color3 vector or a string")
		end
	end
	return mainPart
end



return shapes

Notice that in the above code, the .fill() method has been modified to better handle the cases where a string has been passed as the color. These changes include the code below:

Example:
local red = colorName[colorValue]["DEC"][1]/255    --rescale from 0-255 to 0-1
local green = colorName[colorValue]["DEC"][2]/255  --rescale from 0-255 to 0-1
local blue = colorName[colorValue]["DEC"][3]/255   --rescale from 0-255 to 0-1
mainPart.Color = Color3.new(red, green, blue)
You can test the new code by modifying the baseplateScript as shown below:

Example:
--baseplateScript
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local s = require(ServerStorage.genericShapes)

--print(s.helloWorld())

local mainPart = s.cube(10)
mainPart = s.fill(mainPart, "darkslateblue")

Add additional methods

Reflectance

Example:
--This function changes the reflectance of the object
function shapes.reflectance(mainPart, value)
	if typeof(value) == "number" then
		mainPart.Reflectance = value
	else
		print("Error in the Reflectance method.  You need to pass a number.  You passed a: "..typeof(value))
	end
	return mainPart
end

Size

Example:
--This function changes the size of the object
function shapes.size(mainPart, sizeValue)
	if typeof(sizeValue) == "Vector3" then
		mainPart.Size = sizeValue
	else
		print("Error in the Size method.  You need to pass a Vector3.  You passed a: "..typeof(sizeValue))
	end
	return mainPart
end

Rotate

Example:
--This function changes the rotation of the object
function shapes.rotate(mainPart, rotateValue)
	if typeof(rotateValue) == "Vector3" then
		mainPart.Orientation = rotateValue
	else
		print("Error in the Rotation method.  You need to pass a Vector3.  You passed a: "..typeof(rotateValue))
	end
	return mainPart
end

Modify the baseplateScript to see the recent changes

Example:
--baseplateScript
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local s = require(ServerStorage.genericShapes)

--print(s.helloWorld())

local mainPart = s.cube(10)
mainPart = s.fill(mainPart, "darkslateblue")
s.reflectance(mainPart, 0)
Run it...

Example:
--baseplateScript
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local s = require(ServerStorage.genericShapes)

--print(s.helloWorld())

local mainPart = s.cube(10)
mainPart = s.fill(mainPart, "darkslateblue")
s.reflectance(mainPart, 0)
s.rotate(mainPart, Vector3.new(45, 45, 0))
Run it...

Example:
--baseplateScript
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local s = require(ServerStorage.genericShapes)

--print(s.helloWorld())

local mainPart = s.cube(10)
mainPart = s.fill(mainPart, "darkslateblue")
s.reflectance(mainPart, 0)
s.rotate(mainPart, Vector3.new(45, 45, 0))
s.transparency(mainPart, 0.4)
Run it...

Materials

Add the following array to the genericShapes module. Add this array right after the colorNames table.

Example:
local materialNames = {
	"Plastic",
	"Wood",
	"Slate",
	"Concrete",
	"CorrodedMetal",
	"DiamondPlate",
	"Foil",
	"Grass",
	"Ice",
	"Marble",
	"Granite",
	"Brick",
	"Pebble",
	"Sand",
	"Fabric",
	"SmoothPlastic",
	"Metal",
	"WoodPlanks",
	"Cobblestone",
	"Air",
	"Water",
	"Rock",
	"Glacier",
	"Snow",
	"Sandstone",
	"Mud",
	"Basalt",
	"Ground",
	"CrackedLava",
	"Neon",
	"Glass",
	"Asphalt",
	"LeafyGrass",
	"Salt",
	"Limestone",
	"Pavement",
	"ForceField"
}
Also add a .material() method toward the bottom of the script.

Example:
--This function changes the material of the object
function shapes.material(mainPart, value)
	--local Materials = Enum.Material:GetEnumItems()
	if typeof(value) == "string" or typeof(value) == "EnumItem" then
		mainPart.Material = value
	else
		print("Error in the Material method.  You need to pass a string.  You passed a: "..typeof(value))
	end
	return mainPart
end
Now add a material to the mainPart in the baseplateScript.

Example:
--baseplateScript
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local s = require(ServerStorage.genericShapes)

--print(s.helloWorld())

local mainPart = s.cube(10)
mainPart = s.fill(mainPart, "darkslateblue")
s.reflectance(mainPart, 0)
s.rotate(mainPart, Vector3.new(45, 45, 0))
s.transparency(mainPart, 0.4)
s.material(mainPart, Enum.Material.Foil)
In the example above, the material was added as an Enumerated value. In this case, Enumerated Material names Foil which was shown as: Enum.Material.Foil

Other Useful Shapes
