Stack Begin | Stack End

[AntiNukeYT (Anti)]

I don’t really understand what this means, from my basic knowledge I’m assuming this means I’m stacking functions (calling a function INSIDE of another function)

Am I correct, and is this bad practice that I should avoid?

What is Stack Begin and Stack End

Sometimes when looking at the output I would see these Stack Begin and Stack End wrapping a line in the script with letters having the color blue. I want to know what it means and what they do. Are they good, bad or just don’t pay attention to them. Here is an example. [image] Any help is appreciated!

I read the answer to that and I just don’t understand it, Also I don’t believe it answers if it’s bad to have stacks.

When an error occurs, a stack trace is generated which basically tells you where the error originated and where it ended. Where it says “Stack Begin” under the error message, that’s just it saying that its where the trace begins.

So it’s literally only for helping debug errors, meaning if you see it you have an error?

[TaxFraudBruh]

Yes. It only appears under error messages unless you have your own erroring system (lmk me if you wanna see about that)

Edit: If you want to generate your own stack trace when an error occurs, use debug.traceback. I recommend using this in conjunction with xpcall:

local function LogError(Message: string?)
    -- The level is set at 2 so this function doesn't appear in the stack trace
    warn(debug.traceback(Message, 2))
end

local bool = false
xpcall(function()
    if bool == false then
        error("bool is false :(")
    else
        print("bool is true!")
    end
end, LogError)

Stack trace:

ServerScriptService.Script:9: bool is false :( -- Error message
ServerScriptService.Script:9 -- The line where the error is
ServerScriptService.Script:7 -- The function containing the error

Yeah I only just now realized that it’s being called by old plugins causing errors.
Thanks for helping me understand this
