As of again of the again, the title says it all.
I want to know if there is a way to check for all properties within a instance, this could be used for making for example, and Properties tab inside of the game, since we can’t put the Properties tab on it ;/
There is not an easy way to do this. You’ll have to parse some dump of some sort that lists all the properties currently defined for each type.
Can just HTTP request from Roblox: https://anaminus.github.io/rbx/json/api/latest.json
Requires Proxy (Roblox game servers cant send Http requests to the roblox.com domain): http://setup.roblox.com/version-0f92b7995f2446f0-API-Dump.json
Here are some extra resources:
Though… I have no actual idea on how to use HTTP Service…
You can index a property. (If that’s the right word)
Part["Transparency"] = 0 -- Will error if it is not a property or there is no descendant with a name of that string
The resources I linked have code examples
This is one of them, but when i copy and paste, this happens:
01 local ClassProperties do
02 -- ClassProperties is a Dictionary of sorted arrays of Properties of Classes
03 -- Pulls from anaminus.github.io
04 -- Ignores deprecated and RobloxPluginSecurity Properties
05 -- Make sure HttpService is Enabled (Roblox Studio -> Home Tab -> Game Settings -> Security -> Allow HTTP requests = "On")
06
07 ClassProperties = {}
08 local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
09
10 local Data = HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync("https://anaminus.github.io/rbx/json/api/latest.json"))
11
12 for i = 1, #Data do
13 local Table = Data[i]
14 local Type = Table.type
15
16 if Type == "Class" then
17 local ClassData = {}
18
19 local Superclass = ClassProperties[Table.Superclass]
20
21 if Superclass then
22 for j = 1, #Superclass do
23 ClassData[j] = Superclass[j]
24 end
25 end
26
27 ClassProperties[Table.Name] = ClassData
28 elseif Type == "Property" then
29 if not next(Table.tags) then
30 local Class = ClassProperties[Table.Class]
31 local Property = Table.Name
32 local Inserted
33
34 for j = 1, #Class do
35 if Property < Class[j] then -- Determine whether `Property` precedes `Class[j]` alphabetically
36 Inserted = true
37 table.insert(Class, j, Property)
38 break
39 end
40 end
41
42 if not Inserted then
43 table.insert(Class, Property)
44 end
45 end
46 elseif Type == "Function" then
47 elseif Type == "YieldFunction" then
48 elseif Type == "Event" then
49 elseif Type == "Callback" then
50 elseif Type == "Enum" then
51 elseif Type == "EnumItem" then
52 end
53 end
54 end
55
56 table.foreach(ClassProperties["Part"], print)
Aka it copies the numbers/lines too.
And this other one, i just can’t understand:

For scripting helpers, you have to click view source and then copy and paste it
Not reliable anymore, sorry. Anaminus’s repo is old and very outdated.
You should use an alternative like the one provided by MaximumADHD weekly. At here (one should use the raw form of the file).
