Probably two years ago, Anaminus created an Explorer GUI that shows the game hierarchy, and I created a complementary Properties GUI. For a long time I’ve hesitated to make it public, because I’m sure exploiters would use it. Now that local script execution is patched, I’m considering making it open source and seeing if any of you would find it useful or expand on it.
Things to improve:
[ul]
[li]Right now it relies on Quenty’s qAPI to get the list of properties for an instance. He hasn’t updated it in ages so a lot of objects won’t display properties.[/li]
[li]Add Output GUI (super easy now that we have LogService)[/li]
[li]Maybe adding move/axis/resize tools, and a selection box that shows the part currently selected[/li]
[/ul]

I suggested an actual API for this, but it never actually went anywhere

The weirder things is that zeuxcg posted on it, and it went no where.

Yeah, I mean I get Zeuxcg’s point of view with how it doesn’t necessarily have a lot of uses, but I mean for the few uses it has such as serialization and properties panels a long with what Stravant posted, it would be immensely helpful in solving tasks that would take a while to do yourself. Yet we have a :DistanceFromCharacter() when we could easily do something like dist = (Vector1-Vector2).magnitude which makes the method kind of pointless to a degree.
OnTopic: Well maybe somebody could update the qAPI?
I used to use another version of this (either by the same people and an older version, or whatever) and I found it particularly useful before I stopped using it for fear of exploits.
