How would I make custom functions?

[Rescriptedd (rescripted)]

How would I make a custom function (for example part:GetProperties())?
Like this:

local examplepart = workspace.examplepart

examplepart:GetProperties() -- returns a table with all properties?

It’s kinda complicated, you probably have to use an API but i don’t really know though, but this should help you.

Get all properties of an Instance

I read a post (Get properties of an object). I got some info on where I can find all of the object’s properties. Based on that, I have made this script: local ClassProperties = {} local studioVersion = game:GetService("HttpService"):GetAsync("http://setup.rprxy.xyz/versionQTStudio") local Data = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONDecode(game:GetService("HttpService"):GetAsync("http://setup.rprxy.xyz/"..studioVersion.."-API-Dump.json")) for _, v in pairs(Data.Classes) do local propertyTable =…

Make a custom workspace object that returns custom objects each time one its children are indexed, then you can add your custom functions to those objects.

How would I do that though?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[weakroblox35]

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")

local Prefix = "https://" -- since devforum prohibts me from including https in snippets

local Instances = {}



function Instances:GetPartProperities(Part : BasePart | Instance?) : {}
	local BasePartProperities = {}
	local fetched, _Properities = pcall(HttpService.GetAsync, HttpService, Prefix.."pastebin.com/raw/TFSU2s5e")
	if not fetched then
		warn("Failed, retrying?")
		task.wait(1)
		return Instances:GetPartProperities(Part)
	end
	local PartProperities = {}
	for className,Properity in HttpService:JSONDecode(_Properities) do
		if className ~= "BasePart" then
			continue
		end
		for t,v in Properity do
			PartProperities[v] = Part[v]
		end
	end
	BasePartProperities[Part.Name] = PartProperities
	return BasePartProperities
end

print(Instances:GetPartProperities(workspace.Part))

This is also known as serializing.

Works, thank you very much!

This is also known as serializing.

Ohh, alright.

How would I make it so you could do variable:GetProperties()?

If you also wanna get stuff like meshid while also getting its basepart properities you can use this

local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")

local Prefix = "https://" -- since devforum prohibts me from including https in snippets

local Serializedstring = "_serialized"
local Instances = {}



function Instances:GetPartProperities(Part : BasePart | Instance?, SerializeOnlyNonShared: boolean) : {}
	local BasePartProperities = {}
	BasePartProperities[Part.Name] = {}
	BasePartProperities[Part.ClassName..Serializedstring] = {}
	local fetched, _Properities = pcall(HttpService.GetAsync, HttpService, Prefix.."pastebin.com/raw/TFSU2s5e")
	if not fetched then
		warn("Failed, retrying?")
		task.wait(1)
		return Instances:GetPartProperities(Part)
	end
	local PartProperities = {}
	local AdditionalProperities = {}
	for className,Properity in HttpService:JSONDecode(_Properities) do
		if not SerializeOnlyNonShared then
			if className == Part.ClassName then
				for t,v in Properity do
					AdditionalProperities[v] = Part[v]
				end
			end
		end
		if className ~= "BasePart" then
			continue
		end
		for t,v in Properity do
			PartProperities[v] = Part[v]
		end
	end
	BasePartProperities[Part.Name] = PartProperities
	BasePartProperities[Part.ClassName.."_serialized"] = AdditionalProperities
	return BasePartProperities
end

local mycoolmeshpart = workspace.MeshPart
local mycoolmeshpartanditsstuff = Instances:GetPartProperities(mycoolmeshpart)

print(mycoolmeshpartanditsstuff[mycoolmeshpart.ClassName..Serializedstring].MeshId)

Alright, thanks!

So, I was kinda joking, as this would use OOP and be super complicated. I recommend you to stick to the solution @weakroblox35 provided. But, if you really wanna go with it just so that you can do myCoolPart:GetPartProperties() instead of Instances:GetPartProperties(myCoolPart) then here’s what you could probably do:

Make a module (object) called workspace that returns an empty table with its metatable set to the module. Make a separate custom base part module. Now set the workspace module’s __index to a function that looks for the base part in workspace, and if it exists, it returns a ‘custom’ base part by using the new function in the base part module, otherwise return nil.

As for the base part module (object), let the new constructor take in only one argument: the base part. The function will return an object with the only field _realPart set to the real base part, and set the metatable to the base part module. Then add a function to the module 'CustomBasePart:GetPartProperties() which calls the function @weakroblox35 provided, passing self._realPart as the first argument.

Finally, set the base part module’s __index to a function that looks for the key in the module, and if it does not find any custom function – it assumes that it’s a Roblox property or function of the object, and returns table._realPart.key.

If this works then you can require the module and use the ‘custom’ workspace instead of game.Workspace, you can then index parts inside of the workspace and get a reference to the table. This allows you to index the Roblox properties, call the Roblox functions on the part AND call your :GetPartProperties() function as it is part of the object’s metatable :)))

I can’t really understand

I think I’ll just stick to using Instances:GetPartProperties(examplepart).
