Deprecated

Status

Inherits from: Model → PVInstance → Instance → Object

Used as a storage for custom Humanoid statuses. This object would've been officially used in the RbxStatus library, but remains unfinished.

Inherits from: Model

Memory category: BaseParts

Tags: NotCreatable, Deprecated

Deprecated: Status is an unfinished object designed to store custom Humanoid statuses. It has been deprecated and should not be used by developers in new work.

Developers looking to implement custom Humanoid statuses should use Character Physics Controllers, as they are written in Luau and are easily extendable.

Properties

Inherited from Model

NameType / ReturnsDescription
Model.LevelOfDetailModelLevelOfDetailSets the level of detail on the model for experiences with instance streaming enabled.
Model.ModelStreamingModeModelStreamingModeControls the model streaming behavior on Models when instance streaming is enabled.
Model.PrimaryPartBasePartThe primary part of the Model, or nil if not explicitly set.
Model.ScalefloatEditor-only property used to scale the model around its pivot. Setting this property will move the scale as though Model:ScaleTo() was called on it.
Model.WorldPivotCFrameDetermines where the pivot of a Model which does not have a set Model.PrimaryPart is located.

Inherited from PVInstance

NameType / ReturnsDescription
PVInstance.OriginCFrameEditor-only property that reads and sets the world CFrame of the PVInstance's pivot, moving the entire instance when changed from the Studio Properties window.
PVInstance.Pivot OffsetCFrameEditor-only property that displays and edits the pivot's CFrame relative to the instance, moving only the pivot and leaving the instance in place.

Methods

Inherited from Model

NameType / ReturnsDescription
Model:AddPersistentPlayer()Sets this model to be persistent for the specified player. ModelStreamingMode must be set to PersistentPerPlayer for behavior to be changed as a result of addition.
Model:BreakJoints()Breaks connections between BaseParts, including surface connections with any adjacent parts, WeldConstraints and all Welds and other JointInstances.
Model:breakJoints()
Model:GetBoundingBoxTupleReturns a description of a volume that contains all parts of a Model.
Model:GetExtentsSizeVector3Returns the size of the smallest bounding box that contains all of the BaseParts in the Model, aligned with the Model.PrimaryPart if it is set.
Model:GetModelCFrameCFrameThis value historically returned the CFrame of a central position in the model.
Model:GetModelSizeVector3Returns the Vector3 size of the Model.
Model:GetPersistentPlayersListReturns all the Player objects that this model object is persistent for. Behavior varies based on whether this method is called from a Script or a LocalScript.
Model:GetPrimaryPartCFrameCFrameReturns the CFrame of the model's Model.PrimaryPart. This function will throw an error if no primary part exists for the Model.
Model:GetScalefloatReturns the canonical scale of the model, which defaults to 1 for newly created models and will change as it is scaled via Model:ScaleTo().
Model:MakeJoints()Goes through all BaseParts in the Model. If any part's side has a SurfaceType that can make a joint it will create a joint with any adjacent parts.
Model:makeJoints()
Model:move()
Model:MoveTo()Moves the PrimaryPart to the given position. If a primary part has not been specified, the root part of the model will be used.
Model:moveTo()
Model:RemovePersistentPlayer()Makes this model no longer persistent for the specified player. ModelStreamingMode must be set to PersistentPerPlayer for behavior to be changed as a result of removal.
Model:ResetOrientationToIdentity()Resets the rotation of the model's parts to the previously set identity rotation, which is done through the Model:SetIdentityOrientation() method.
Model:ScaleTo()Sets the scale factor of the model, adjusting the sizing and location of all descendant Instances such that they have that scale factor relative to their initial sizes and locations when scale factor was 1.
Model:SetIdentityOrientation()Sets the identity rotation of the given model, allowing you to reset the rotation of the entire model later, through the use of the ResetOrientationToIdentity method.
Model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame()Sets the BasePart.CFrame of the model's Model.PrimaryPart. All other parts in the model will also be moved and will maintain their orientation and offset respective to the Model.PrimaryPart.
Model:TranslateBy()Shifts a Model by the given Vector3 offset, preserving the model's orientation. If another BasePart or Terrain already exists at the new position then the Model will overlap said object.

Inherited from PVInstance
