Lua-ified properties window

You will see “the Github repository” mentioned several times in this post. To find it, scroll to the bottom of the post!

Greetings! I decided in my spare time to work on something I like to call “Properties2”. What is Properties2, you ask? Not sure why you’d be asking that, considering it’s stated both in the title of this post and at the top of this post, but I’ll say it again: “Properties2 is a lua-ified version of the properties window!”

Why should I use Properties2 over the regular properties window?

  • Several times when testing the plugin, it was discovered that it often loaded/rendered the properties faster than the built-in properties window. Whether the plugin is actually faster than the built-in properties window is unknown.
  • Custom properties! While custom properties aren’t a built-in feature of Properties2, it is possible to make them! Until they are a built-in feature, feel free to copy the Properties2 Github repository and add them yourself!
  • You can see deprecated properties! Now wait a minute, who would want to see deprecated properties? They’re deprecated for a reason! While it is true you should not use deprecated properties (they are read only in the plugin for this reason), it can sometimes be interesting to see what properties Instances used to have! To enable this, simply enable the “Show deprecated properties” option in the settings window.
  • This plugin is not a replacement for the built-in properties window, as this version (at least, in it’s early stages) is prone to bugs and does not have all the features of the built-in properties window.

Getting the plugin

There are two ways of getting the Properties2 plugin. Both are explained in the README in the Github repository!

  1. Installing the plugin on Roblox
    Using this method of the plugin is easiest, and will automatically update the plugin for you! Simply visit this page and press Install!
  2. Building the plugin manually
    This method will build the plugin in a folder inside of the Workspace, where you can then save it as a local plugin. It will not be automatically updated. To use this method, follow the steps on the Github repository.

Seems cool, would you mind making a color picked GUI for it though?

That’s possible and will probably be a feature soon.
