Properties

Change the state of objects using the following properties. Most of these properties can be used with all of the objects found in Creative Mode.

Anchored

Determines if an object can be affected by physical forces in the world.

Assign to

A boolean.

Example 1

Green Cube's Script

self.Anchored = true

Output

Example 2

---

CanCollide

Determines if an object can pass through another object.

Assign to

A boolean.

Example 1

Blue Cube's Script

self.CanCollide = true
local redCube = world:find("RedCube")

function beat(deltaTime: number)
    local speed = 5
    self:moveToward(redCube, speed, deltaTime)
end

world.heartbeat:Connect(beat)

---

Color

Determines the color of an object.

Assign to

An RGB triplet.

Example 1

Gray Cube's Script

self.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0)

Output

---

Material

Determines what the surface of an object looks like.

Assign to

A Roblox Enum Material name.

🤔 Review this list of available materials in Roblox.

🤔 Materials can only be applied to a BasePart (e.g. a basic object like cylinder and wedge).

Example 1

Any Object's Script

self.Material = Enum.Material.Neon

---

Name

Gives an object a name, which can be used to identify the object in the world.

Assign to

A string of your choosing.

🤔 It's often best to choose unique names for each object in your experience.

Example 1

Any Object's Script

self.Name = "MrPotato"

---

Position

Describes the location of an object using an (x, y, z) coordinate.

Assign to

A Vector3 object.

🤔 You can create a new Vector3 object by writing Vector3.new(x, y, z).

🤔 The origin of an experience is the starting position of the player spawn point, which is described by the glowing white square.

🤔 Here is a diagram to help you reason about position in Creative Mode. The green plane is the baseplate.

Example 1

Any Object's Script

self.Position = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)

---

Scale

Controls the size of an object.

Assign to

A number.

🤔 A number greater than 1 will make the object bigger. A number less than 1 will make the object smaller.

Example 1

Any Object's Script

local growthFactor = 1
for i=1, 5, 1 do
    self.Scale = growthFactor
    growthFactor = growthFactor * 100
end

---

Shape

Changes the form of an object.

Assign to

A Roblox Enum PartType.

🤔 You can only change the shape of primitive objects in Creative Mode (i.e. block, ball, cylinder, wedge, and corner wedge).

🤔 Learn more about the Roblox Enum PartTypes here.

Example 1

Pink Cube's Script

self.Shape = Enum.PartType.Cylinder

Output

Example 2

---

Transparency

Determines how see-through an object is in the world.

Assign to

A number between 0 and 1, where 0 is solid and 1 is invisible.

Example 1

Pink Cube's Script

self.Transparency = 0.5

Output

🤔 This is the same as using the Properties menu and dragging the Transparency slider to your desired value.

Alternative

---

UserId

Identifies a player in the experience.

Assign to

A number.

Example 1

Any Object's Script

local players = world.getPlayers()
local player1 = players[1]
player1.UserID = 1234
