How to get the object by its properties

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

for example
lets take e as intvalue (object)
local e=workspace.intvalue
local d=e.value

how to get e from d

#2

You can’t. The value is literally just a number. It contains no information about where the number came from.

The closest you can come is tracking changes yourself or by searching through all of them for matches.

#3

You can use an ObjectValue to store instances, but other than tht no.

#4

Impossible. Value returns the value directly. So no way.

Just use the “e”?

#5 
local function getValueInstancesWithValue(value)
	local valueInstances = {}
	for _, service in ipairs(game:GetChildren()) do
		local success, result = pcall(function()
			return service:GetDescendants()
		end)
		
		if success then
			if result then
				for _, valueInstance in ipairs(result) do
					if valueInstance:IsA("ValueBase") then
						local success2, result2 = pcall(function()
							return valueInstance.Value == value
						end)
						
						if success2 then
							if result2 then
								table.insert(valueInstances, valueInstance)
							end
						else
							warn(result2)
						end
					end
				end
			end
		else
			warn(result)
		end
	end
	return valueInstances
end

local valueInstances = getValueInstancesWithValue(0) --Gets all value instances which have a number value of 0.
for _, valueInstance in ipairs(valueInstances) do
	print(valueInstance.Name)
end

As has been suggested, you can iterate over all value instances and check if their values match the value you’re searching for.
