How to get list of object properties?
Im making plugin that gets selected object propertie's and pastes them into script, so that you don't have to specify every single property manually in script, it already writes all the objects properties for you and you only change what you want later manually in script.
Problem how could i loop through objects properties and get all it's properties names as string values and just print them out?
I looked through forums and found :GetProperties(), but it doesn't seem to work.

I recently needed a function to get a table of properties of Objects, so I wrote this function. Here you go :D
local ClassProperties do
-- ClassProperties is a Dictionary of sorted arrays of Properties of Classes
-- Pulls from anaminus.github.io
-- Ignores deprecated and RobloxPluginSecurity Properties
-- Make sure HttpService is Enabled (Roblox Studio -> Home Tab -> Game Settings -> Security -> Allow HTTP requests = "On")
ClassProperties = {}
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Data = HttpService:JSONDecode(HttpService:GetAsync("https://anaminus.github.io/rbx/json/api/latest.json"))
for i = 1, #Data do
local Table = Data[i]
local Type = Table.type
if Type == "Class" then
local ClassData = {}
local Superclass = ClassProperties[Table.Superclass]
if Superclass then
for j = 1, #Superclass do
ClassData[j] = Superclass[j]
end
end
ClassProperties[Table.Name] = ClassData
elseif Type == "Property" then
if not next(Table.tags) then
local Class = ClassProperties[Table.Class]
local Property = Table.Name
local Inserted
for j = 1, #Class do
if Property < Class[j] then -- Determine whether `Property` precedes `Class[j]` alphabetically
Inserted = true
table.insert(Class, j, Property)
break
end
end
if not Inserted then
table.insert(Class, Property)
end
end
elseif Type == "Function" then
elseif Type == "YieldFunction" then
elseif Type == "Event" then
elseif Type == "Callback" then
elseif Type == "Enum" then
elseif Type == "EnumItem" then
end
end
end
table.foreach(ClassProperties["Part"], print)
There is a model for this. Just follow the instructions in the description.

:GetProperties doesn't work...
There's a way, though, to actually get them; Tho it takes lots of time ;I
This is a working, print example (in a regular script):
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
--Get Part's properties...
local Part = game.Workspace.Part
local BrickColor = Part.BrickColor
local Color = Part.Color
local Material = Part.Material
local Reflectance = Part.Reflectance
local Transparency = Part.Transparency
local ClassName = Part.ClassName
local Name = Part.Name
local Orientation = Part.Orientation
local Parent = Part.Parent
local Position = Part.Position
local RotVelocity = Part.RotVelocity
local Velocity = Part.Velocity
local Anchored = Part.Anchored
local Archivable = Part.Archivable
local CanCollide = Part.CanCollide
local CollisionGroupId = Part.CollisionGroupId
local Locked = Part.Locked
local CustomPhysicalProperties = Part.CustomPhysicalProperties
local Shape = Part.Shape
local Size = Part.Size
--Print whatever you want (as an example)
print(Size)
print(tonumber(Position) + tonumber(Position))
print(Archivable)
end)
Yes, there's at least by now no automated solution...
If this takes out your doubts, then mark as the solution please.
As always, good scripting.
