Trouble applying template

I setup a child theme using the roots starter theme as a base, but I’m having trouble getting the buddypress themes to work. I tried using the “onecolumn-page” template on one of my pages, but it didn’t have any effect, it should have removed the sidebar. Any idea what I could have done wrong?

I’ve been using this as a reference, but I don’t know what I’ve done wrong exactly- http://codex.buddypress.org/legacy/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Have you reviewed:

If your parent theme has a page.php or index.php in the root directory then copy one of those files over to your child themes root directory and rename it to buddypress.php

Okay, that added some stuff that wasn’t there before like the buddypress side bar under my content and the buddypress footer, but it still doesn’t have an effect when I change the template to one with no sidebars, I just seem to have two now
