I've seen it a few times, but I am not sure what it does and what it is supposed to do, is it like 'print()'? If this Question is not valid, I am sorry.
Yes, error()
is similar to print()
, but instead of displaying a message in Output , it throws an error with the string passed to it. You can call the method like so:
error("Hello, this is an error.")
Which can be useful for some reasons, like if the script gets to a point it shouldn't.
Use that line from a Command Line or from a script to see an output similar to this:
Command Line:
21:33:08.172 - error("This is an error message"):1: This is an error message 21:33:08.173 - Script 'error("This is an error message")', Line 1 21:33:08.174 - Stack End
Script:
// I called the error method like this: error("HELLO") 21:36:02.645 - Workspace.Script:1: HELLO 21:36:02.646 - Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 1 21:36:02.648 - Stack End
