You almost made my day there. Shame.

>>> print(Instance.new("Color3Value"):isA("ValueContainer"))
false

EDIT: Oh, right, they're requests. I see now.

"CFrame .rx .ry .rz .R00 .R01 .R02 etc. should be readable without going through a process"

What would .rx .ry and .rz represent? If it's rotation, then you seriously need to reconsider using euler angles

That's what they would be used for.

local CF = BasePart.CFrame
otherBasePart.CFrame = CFrame.Angles( CF.rx, CF.ry, CF.rz )

Couldn't you just do

local CF = BasePart.CFrame
otherBasePart.CFrame = CF:toEulerAnglesXYZ()

Most people don't know about that method... This is a perfect window to bring up my argument that CFrame, Vector3, Vector2, UDim, UDim2, Ray, Instance (the library), Axes, Faces, BrickColor, and Color3 should all be considered classes--some of them have methods and all of them have properties so I think we should reformat those pages in the object documentation and add them to Object Hierarchy as without a parent or child. --ArceusInator 15:57, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

There's a bigger problem than that: the angles make NO SENSE individually. If you haven't already, you need to look up what Euler Angles really are. Also, take a look at this image

Umm... no. They're considered "types" not objects. We follow the object browser because we're the "Official ROBLOX Wiki". Unfortunately we cannot make up what things are. Camoy • Contribs (January 6 2011)

Camoy, you confused the hell out of me by replying to me there. Next time, indent at the same level as me to reply to the post before.

Also, you're right. By 'Object', the wiki describes anything present in the object browser (ie objects stored in the xml), and 'type' describes variables with userdata containing a consistent set of methods and properties. You might disagree with the terminolofy, but they are distinct. Also, contructor
