A debug ID is an ID used in debugging processes. It allows a debugger to read each instruction before an application processes it. All objects in Roblox act like processes and each run instructions (or ‘code’) that can be debugged if needed
This can be helpful for plugins which need to distinguish similar objects from one-another (such as objects that share the same name)

Name scopeLength	Type int	Default 4	Summary The scope length.

Returns

Return Type	Summary
Return Type string	Summary The Debug ID string.
