Creating a routine in Wayside Games' Roblox simulation Run a Cheer Gym requires using the in-game timeline editor to sequence music, floor formations, and choreography. Players can assign synchronized moves to the entire team or isolate individual cheerleaders for specialized stunt groups and flyer skills.
Starting a New Routine
To begin a performance, open the main menu and select the Routines button, then click New Routine.
- Manage your routine slots: By default, players have 3 routine slots.
- Rename the routine: Look at the top-left corner of the editor interface to change the default title (such as Routine 1) to a custom name.
- Select a track: Pick a song from the music selection in the corner to establish the audio foundation for your performance.
Arranging Formations and Athlete Positions
Before applying choreography, set the team's spacing on the mat. The editor includes both preset alignments and manual drag-and-drop tools.
- Preset Formations: Open the Formations menu to select layouts such as Circle, Triangle, or V. These presets automatically redistribute athletes across the cheer floor.
- Custom Positioning: If you want specific cheerleaders to stay stationary while others move, or if you prefer an asymmetrical layout, enter Customize. This mode enables you to drag individual cheerleaders to exact coordinates on the mat.
Choreographing Moves, Stunts, and Flyer Skills
The editor allows you to apply full squad actions or break your team into stunt groups.
Squad Dances
Selecting a general move category (such as the Royalty dance preset) applies that dance across all active cheerleaders simultaneously.
Individual Choreography and Stunt Groups
To keep specific athletes from repeating the exact same choreography as the rest of the squad:
- Click into the Teams menu tab.
- Select the specific cheerleader you want to modify (for example, a flyer on one side of the floor).
- To elevate an athlete, select Stunt Group or use Add Stunt Group. This assigns supporting bases beneath that athlete while other cheerleaders remain on the floor.
- Open categories like Flyer Skills to choose dedicated aerial maneuvers, such as a Left skill hit.
- Drag the skill onto the selected cheerleader's timeline. The track highlights in red when hovering over the correct target area. Ensure the block snaps directly onto their track rather than sitting loose in the editor.
Trimming and Managing the Timeline
The routine timeline controls how long each animation plays and when transitions occur:
- Adjusting Duration: Players can manually set how long an athlete holds an aerial stunt or transition.
- Splitting and Cutting: If a song or an animation extends beyond your planned routine, click the split tool on the track to slice the clip, then hit delete to remove the excess section.
- Redoing Changes: The editor includes undo and redo functionality if an animation placement or timing cut needs adjustment.
Routine Limits and Editor Game Passes
The base editor provides essential choreography tools, but several features and capacity limits connect to Roblox game passes available in the game store.
| Game Pass | Robux Cost | Editor Effect |
|---|---|---|
| More Moves | 129 | Removes the default 200-move limit in the timeline editor, providing unlimited move capacity. |
| Extra Routines | 679 | Expands the total number of routine save slots beyond the standard 3 slots. |
| Advanced Editor | 179 | Unlocks advanced editing features within the routine interface. |
| Extra Stunts | 109 | Adds extra stunt selections to the choreography menu. |
| Extra Tumbling | 97 | Expands available tumbling options for routine choreography. |
| Extra Music | 129 | Unlocks additional musical tracks for performances. |
| Fail Animations | 69 | Adds custom stunt fail animations to routines. |
Frequently Asked Questions
How many moves can you place in a routine without game passes?
Without the More Moves game pass, routines are limited to a maximum of 200 moves inside the timeline editor.
Why is only one cheerleader performing a stunt?
Individual targeting occurs when an athlete is selected through the Teams menu. Assigning a stunt group or flyer skill while clicked onto a specific athlete applies the maneuver strictly to their track instead of the entire squad.
How do you delete unwanted sections of a song?
Select the track inside the timeline editor, use the cut button at the desired timestamp to split the segment, and click the delete option to remove the cut section.
