So if I’d like to copy the path of something my roblox game how would I do that?
For example I wanna copy the path of a GUI in the Roblox PLAYER.
How can I do it? Is there like a way with console or something?

#2

Unfortunately no, I think the development console in Roblox Player is very neglected.

#3

So theres no way to do it unless I type it out manually?

#4

Do you mean like this?

local function GetPath(instance)
	local path = instance.Name
	local parent = instance.Parent
	
	while parent ~= game do
		path = parent.Name .. "." .. path
		parent = parent.Parent
	end
	
	return path
end
#5

Yes, unless you make a UI that shows and tells you the path to an instance in Roblox Player, you must write it.

#7

Yes, but I want to copy the path via. roblox player.

#8

I think if you place the path in a textbox you might be able to copy it, I don’t recall.

#9

How would the textbox know what parts path I want to be copied?

#10

You’d have to provide it somehow, like letting the player click it and using raycasting to find the clicked part.
