For debugging purposes, I’d like to know which line a given statement in my script is on.
For example, if the statement below is on line 123, it should print 123:
-- the line below is 123, so it should print "123"
print('The current line of this print is', *CurrentLine*)
I know I have debug.traceback but it will print the whole traceback, not just the current line.
Is it possible?
You cant. Roblox doesn’t provide the debugging function required from debug to get the current line of a statement
You can do it with debug.info, see focasds post below, I still have a suspicion it wont work under O2 mode though
I believe debug.info would be helpful here! 
The following code gets the line number and prints it out:
print(debug.info(1, 'l'))
Image Sample:
You can just use a trick like this:
local line = debug.traceback()
print(string.match(line, "%w:(%d+)"))
As the debug.traceback function would have this pattern before the line number.
Can you put --!optimize 2 at the top, I’m curious if this still works when LINEINFO is disregarded by the compiler
Interesting yeah (it’d be complaining if optimize wasn’t a valid directive)
I was mistaking debug level for op levels anyway haha.
