Enum

Named lists of options.

An enum is a fixed set of named values. Enum.Material.Plastic names one option from the Material list, and properties that take a material accept that value. Every option also has a number, which is what the engine stores and what replication and save files carry.

Reading an item

Expression	Result
`Enum.Material`	The Material enum type.
`Enum.Material.Plastic`	One item from that type.
`Enum.GetEnums()`	A table of every enum type.

An unknown type raises Nope is not a valid member of Enum. An unknown item on a real type raises Nope is not a valid member of Enum.Material.

Enum types

Each type has a GetEnumItems method that returns its items in the order they were registered:

for _, item in Enum.Material:GetEnumItems() do
    print(item.Name, item.Value)
end

Enum items

Member	Type	What it does
Name	string	The item name, such as `Plastic`. `name` is an alias.
Value	number	The stored number. `value` is an alias.
EnumType	string	The name of the list the item came from, such as `"Material"`.

EnumType is a string, not an enum type. Compare it with item.EnumType == "Material".

Two items are equal when they come from the same list and have the same value. Printing an item gives its full name, as in Enum.Material.Plastic. typeof reports "EnumItem" for an item and "Enum" for a type.

The lists

Every list below carries the number the engine stores, which is what replication and save files use.

LightingTechnology

Item	Value	What it does
Compatibility	0	The older flat lighting: ambient never varies by surface orientation.
Dynamic	1	The directional look: ambient varies by surface orientation.

See Lighting.

BlastFalloff

Item	Value	What it does
Constant	0	Full push at every distance inside the radius.
Linear	1	Fades evenly from the epicenter to the edge.
Quadratic	2	The fade steepens near the edge, so most of the push stays near the center.
Sharp	3	Nearly everything at the center, almost nothing past half the radius.

A raw number works as well, read as the exponent on the fade curve, so 1.5 sits between Linear and Quadratic. See Physics.

SurfaceType

Item	Value	What it does
Smooth	0	A plain face. The default, and what every other value reads back as.
Glue	1	Kept as the number you give it, and drawn as a plain face.
Weld	2	Kept as the number you give it, and drawn as a plain face.
Studs	3	Kept, and drawn as studs.
Inlet	4	Kept, and drawn as an inlet.
Universal	5	Kept as the number you give it, and drawn as a plain face.
Hinge	6	Kept as the number you give it, and drawn as a plain face.
Motor	7	Kept as the number you give it, and drawn as a plain face.
SteppingMotor	8	Kept as the number you give it, and drawn as a plain face.
SmoothNoOutlines	10	Kept as the number you give it, and drawn as a plain face.

Only Studs and Inlet change how a face draws. Every other value is stored as the number you gave it and reads back as Smooth.

Example

local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Material = Enum.Material.Neon

if part.Material == Enum.Material.Neon then
    print("glowing")
end

print(Enum.Material.Neon.EnumType)   -- Material
