getnilinstances() -> {Instance}Parameters
This function takes no arguments.
Returns
{Instance}An array of nil-parented Instances currently visible to the runtime.
Usage notes
Only known cached objects are considered; a nil parent by itself does not guarantee an object will appear.
Example
Luau
local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
local unparented = getnilinstances()
print("Known nil-parented objects:", #unparented)
folder:Destroy()
