Is there an API for the roblox client that can return the locations of parts or a collison map in a game?

What do you want to achieve?
I want to use an API for an automated script that would automatically find a way out of a building or place. This might be possibile, since Roshaders has used this kind of trickery for shaders and lighting. This definitely won’t be game-breaking or hacking, since we will only have data of what is in front of us.

What is the issue?
There doesn’t seem to be a way for third-party plugins to access this data

What solutions have you thought of so far?

  • Looking into the code of Roshade
  • Checking RAM for any traces of environment data or atleast graphical data
  • Using AI

Are you talking about PathfindingService | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub? That’s what I got from “automatically find a way out of a building or place”.

Yes, but this is meant to look into how to provide data for bots or possibily AI in games

Oh right, an API. I’ve had a look at a list of endpoints after a quick search and can’t seem to find anything. If I do find something I’ll reply again.
What do you need that PathfindingService can’t give you?

#5

It’s ok if you can’t find it. I was wondering if there was one or if it is possibile
This is meant to be used in other games

Is this for a graphics shader? I think you might have some trouble with the anti cheat if that’s what you’re trying to do.

Yes, its kinda for like a program to gather data like where parts are so a bot can like generate keystores.

Yeah, I am a bit worried about that. But I don’t know if Roblox might approve it or not

I think you’d get more help if you describe what you’re trying to do, it’s a little difficult to understand what type of data would be useful to you.

Objective: Get a bot to navigate out of a place with no knowledge beforehand (outside of games i don’t own)

Data useful: Where parts are
(e.g.)
Part1: 100, 100, 100
Part2: 203, 100, 100
