Instance — Velocity

getinstances() → {Instance}

Every Instance in the current DataModel, including ones you can't normally reach.

aliasesgetinstancelist

lua

print(#getinstances())  --> e.g. 45231

getnilinstances() → {Instance}

Instances with no Parent.

lua

for _, obj in ipairs(getnilinstances()) do
    print(obj.ClassName, obj.Name)
end

gethui() → Instance

A hidden GUI container (usually CoreGui-adjacent) that game scripts can't enumerate.

aliasesget_hidden_gui

lua

local screen = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screen.Parent = gethui()   -- safe from game GUI walkers

compareinstances(a: Instance, b: Instance) → boolean

true if both userdata point at the same underlying Instance (unwraps cloneref).

lua

local p  = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local p2 = cloneref(p)
print(compareinstances(p, p2))  --> true
