::::[[User:Scruggs|Scruggs]] 19:30, 10 July 2006 (EDT) I would think it would be a limit of the ''compiled'' script, not the actual text, but i can't say that for sure. If you want to reduce the size of a script, though, you can transfer some of your if blocks into quest stages or dialog topics, setting up the conditions to do the work for you. Then just call [[setStage]] or [[Say]] to run the conditions. [[Say]] is useful when you need the results to run on the calling actor, which setStage won't allow. | ::::[[User:Scruggs|Scruggs]] 19:30, 10 July 2006 (EDT) I would think it would be a limit of the ''compiled'' script, not the actual text, but i can't say that for sure.

::::::[[User:ShadowDancer|ShadowDancer]] 09:12, 11 July 2006 (EDT): K, I have the actual answer. The limit '''is''' 32767 and its the number of characters '''including special characters''' i.e. the enter key. If you add the number of lines to the number of characters (with spaces), you end up with 32,768 and since there isn't a return after the last line, thats one less return which results in 32,767. It is probably just an artificial limit in the base programming (probably visual basic) creating the scriptedit box. | |||
