Hello developers,
Basically what I am trying to do right now is make a custom log module. I have the basics such as console.log() and console.error(), but I added console.debug() to easily debug scripts, and this requires me to get the script line from debug.traceback(). How would I do this? The string that gets returned is like this: script_hierachy:script_line. Thanks if you can help.
Hmmm…This is JavaScript I guess. I ain’t so much used to JavaScript though but still I’ll try.
Like you said, the string returned is script_hierarchy:script_line. You can use the string.split function to separate out the script line and script hierarchy appropriately, for example:
string.split(String, ":")
See string | Roblox Creator Documentation for more details.
This isn’t JS. This is a module that is meant to be like JS.
Oh. So you may use string:split()
This would work technically, though more info may be printed such as the function it was called on like so:
ServerScriptService.Script:2 function a
I’m guessing I could do this?
local splitTraceback = string.split(debug.trackback(), ":")[2]
local line = string.split(splitTraceback, " ")[1]
-- traceback:line info -> line info -> line?
Yep, using split separates everything in-between the character you’re looking for into a table. From what I believe you’re trying to do, you want to do
splitString[1]
which will return the second value in the table.
Yeah, but I would suggest assigning a var before the splitTraceback and assign the returned value of the function to the var and split it.
I wouldn’t think I need to, as it doesn’t need to be a constant.
There isn’t really any point to that, since debug.traceback() is only used once and is already easy to understand.
Oh, then it’s alright but sometimes it’s better to do it.
