Returns the script name and line number where the region was created.
location = ScriptRegion:GetSourceLocation()
Returns
- location
- string - The script name and line number where the region was created.
Details
- The returned string will be the script name and line number delimited with a colon, eg.
path\to\script.lua:10. - For accurate script names the enableSourceLocationLookup console variable must be set to
1, otherwise the script name will always be "UnknownFile". - For dynamically loaded scripts the script name portion will correspond to the
chunknameargument supplied to loadstring. If not supplied, this will typically expand to a leading portion of the script body. - Texture and fontstring regions created through script APIs at-present report the source location of their initial parent frame, whereas those created statically in XML will be correct.
