Is there a way to detect Undo's/Redo's in the Script Editor?

I’ve looked all over the place and haven’t found a direct API for this, am I missing something or is there not a way to detect this?

What do you mean by the Undo’s / Redo’s in the script editor do you mean like if you make a change to your script and want to see the undo / redo logs. As of my knowledge I don’t believe there is one.

I’m trying to create a plugin that tracks a bunch of analytics like how many characters and lines you’ve created in specific Scripts and such, and I want to also track how many characters/lines have been undo’d and redo’d.

You could try setuping up a function that runs every so often that can track the added or removed lines.

I don’t know if it will work but here is an example

Please know that this is not my code its help from the AI Roblox System. Also, roblox does not have an API for this. So please note that this code 100% could not work
function FOO(script)
    local oldContent = script.Source
    local changes = {
        addedLines = 0,
        removedLines = 0
    }

    script:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Source"):Connect(function()
        local newContent = script.Source
        local oldLines = string.split(oldContent, "\n")
        local newLines = string.split(newContent, "\n")

        local addedLines = 0
        local removedLines = 0

        for i = 1, math.max(#oldLines, #newLines) do
            if oldLines[i] ~= newLines[i] then
                if newLines[i] then
                    addedLines = addedLines + 1
                end
                if oldLines[i] then
                    removedLines = removedLines + 1
                end
            end
        end

        changes.addedLines = changes.addedLines + addedLines
        changes.removedLines = changes.removedLines + removedLines

        oldContent = newContent
    end)
end
