Want bloatware-free always uptodate list to get all properties?:fire:

Then this tutorial is for you!:ice_cube::ice_cube:(i ran out of ideas for emojy)

So how are we gonna get them? :thinking:
Well we can use a always updating github repository for that!:stopwatch:

Ok cool but how do i extract properties out of it?:money_mouth_face:
That a good question! Create a module script (although you could execute it directly):scroll:
And paste code here

Bro ts types took so long for me to write :skull::skull::skull:

I wrote this post on mobile btw :wilted_flower::iphone::fire:

I were writing a plugin relates to classes​:money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face:

Cuz i haven’t found anybody use this method and use it properly there so i made a post :pensive:

And now you can do:

local module = require("./HelpMePlz")
local part = Instance.new("Part")
print(module[part.ClassName]) ---> returns all properties.

You could also get properties that is read only etc but you can already do that yourself because i provided you types and i will provide you info here also:

Also you probably want to change recursive function into a loop cuz yk recursive is meh.

.Superclass [[
Basically your instance has ALL properties of its Superclass and Superclass’s superclass and so on
]]

.Tags [[
Such as //depeacated //read only and so on
You may see them appear in documentation too

]]

MemoryCategory [[Just a category of Instance]]

.Members [[
Properties of your superclass

  • . Serialization studio related voodoo that basically depends on can Instance be saved or nah
  • .Tags same as the ones i mentioned above
  • .Capabilities relative new Sandbox feature roblox has added i would say a lil expiriemental :money_mouth_face::fire:
  • .Name of our peoperty/function/event
  • .ValueType type of property (nil if its not a property)
  • .Security basically perms of instance is it a resd only/write only or None (if its none then no restrictikns)
  • .ReturnType type that event/function (not sure) returns
  • .Parameters function parameters (nil if its not a function)
  • .MemberType determines if its a Property/Event/Function
  • .ThreadSafety not really sure what is it but i assume its parallel Luau thing
    ]]

.Name its a name of Instance bruh :pensive::money_mouth_face:

I can’t not sneaking a joke everywhere im sorry if it makes post feel unprofessional to you.I just feel that adding jokes makes learning better and having more soul to it yk.

This 403 error is so annoying bro :skull::pray::pray:

A little voodoo but:
You can also technically get default properties:
Do Instance.new and grab all of its properties and then cache them

4 
local raw_Classes:AllRobloxClasses = Data.Classes
local Enums:AllRobloxEnums = Data.Enums
local Classes:FormattedClasses = {}

for i,v in raw_Classes do
	if v.MemoryCategory~="Instances" then continue end
	if v.Tags~=nil and (table.find(v.Tags,"NotCreatable")~=nil or table.find(v.Tags,"NotScriptable")~=nil) then continue end
	local tab:FormattedClass = {}
	local Superclass:string? = v.Name
	while Superclass~=nil do
		local search:number? = nil
		for i,v in raw_Classes do
			if v.Name==Superclass then search=i break end
		end
		if search==nil then break end
		for ii,vv in raw_Classes[search].Members do
			if vv.MemberType~="Property" then continue end
			if vv.Security~="None" and (vv.Security.Write~="None" or vv.Security.Read~="None") then continue end
			if vv.ValueType==nil then continue end
			if vv.Tags~=nil and (table.find(vv.Tags,"ReadOnly")~=nil or table.find(vv.Tags,"NotScriptable")~=nil) then continue end
			tab[vv.Name]=(vv.ValueType.Category=="Class" and "Instance") or (vv.ValueType.Category=="Enum" and `Enum.{vv.ValueType.Name}`) or (TranslateProperties[vv.ValueType.Name] or vv.ValueType.Name)
		end
		Superclass=raw_Classes[search].Superclass
	end
	Classes[v.Name]=tab
end

Without recursive btw

if you dont have some instances like Part then consider removing line of code:

if v.MemoryCategory~="Instances" then continue end

I made the code work with a new type solver, but the problem is that DevForum is not letting me update the post.
It says error 403
I suppose link to a client tracker is somehow being deemed inappropriate?

Not enabled + i made post prior to that

Good for people to know it exists and should be used when it’s enabled instead of this (I thought it was enabled already actually)

i decided to upload code on a github becouse devforum otherwise would reject my changed to the post

  • fixed Security type a little and replaced recursive into a loop so itshould be faster
  • should work with new type solver now hopefully
