How do I find the origin of an Instance?

Ok let's say I have a script create an instance such as a brick and it puts it in workspace. Am I able to find what script created that brick through the brick? I'm looking all over to find a way of finding the source of an instance but can't seem to find anything on it. Anyone know?

Although you can not directly track what script made an instance, you can make a function that acts as a proxy to the instance.new function and track what script is using that proxy. This can be done with a ModuleScript:

return function(class, parent)
	-- The script that called this function is set to getfenv(0).script
	return Instance.new(class, parent) -- You should handle errors made from this function so not every instance creating script breaks (if 1 script uses Instance.new incorrectly).
end

You can then have each script that creates instances use this ModuleScript: Instance.new(class, parent) would become require(ModuleScript)(class, parent).

You might be able to use debug.traceback() but it would have to be called from a script that is linked to where the part is created.

Code from the wiki:-

-- Ran from a Script in workspace called "Script"
local function a()
	print(debug.traceback())
end
function b()
	a()
end
local function c()
	b()
end
c()

Output:-

Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 3 - upvalue a
Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 6 - global b
Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 9 - local c
Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 11
