getgc

With no argument, returns GC statistics (same shape as getgc_info). With true, returns a generic-for iterator over every live table in the game's VM (up to 120,000 entries).

Syntax

getgc(includeTables?: any) -> table

Parameters

Returns

Description

getgc is part of the GC & memory scanning library. GC helpers read the game's Luau heap from outside the process and can inspect or control the collector.

The call is read-only: it resolves the current value when invoked and does not change the underlying state.

Example

for _, tbl in getgc(true) do
    local v = rawget(tbl, "Money")
    if type(v) == "number" then
        print("found:", v)
    end
end

Notes

• GC results depend on the live game heap and collector state.
