getreferencedby

Returns instances that reference the target through a property.

Syntax

getreferencedby(instance: Instance) -> table

Parameter	Type	Description
`instance`	`Instance`	Target Instance to search references for.

Type	Description
`table`	Instances that hold a reference to the target property.

getreferences scans the live instance cache and checks same-typed reference properties on every instance to find values that point at the target.

The scan can be expensive because it walks all instances and their property descriptors. Results are returned as an array.

for _, instance in ipairs(getreferences(workspace.Baseplate)) do
    print(instance:GetFullName())
end

Aliases: getreferences(instance).
Reflection reads live property metadata; hidden-property writes can desynchronise client state.
Only direct reference properties are checked.
The scan reflects the current game state.
