Is there a limit to the number of lines a script can contain? I'm currently editing a script with about 52 lines (including debug code to later be stripped), and the CS refuses to save changes beyond a certain point. If I click on the save button, and then try to edit the script editor, I get the "do you want to save this script" message; if I say "yes", it just returns me to the editor. If I say "no", it closes the editor but the changes are not saved. | Is there a limit to the number of lines a script can contain?

It _appears_ that if I put any function below line 39, it causes a problem (endifs and ENDS are fine). Perhaps I'm just doing something wrong?

Later: obviously not the case, since I just found a Beth script with about 150 lines. | Later: obviously not the case, since I just found a Beth script with about 150 lines. | ||

DO'H! I'm forgetting by basic programming skills <G> Oddly, though, the compiler doesn't complain about this- the script just won't run <G> Acutally, there are a number of errors the compiler doesn't catch- I just found a typo where I'd substituted "77" for logical "&&", and nary a peep. | DO'H!

But now I've run into another problem. I'm trying to build a script that will allow an item to give a scalar skill boost while it's in inventory based on the player's base skill (You get less benefit the higher your base skill is). Apparently, you can use PLayer.modav with a POSITIVE variable (player.modav var), but you can't decrement the same way (player.modav -var), at least I've found no syntax that the compiler will accept to do this- (I need to do this to "reset" the skill to its regular level). Am I correct in assuming this is a missing feature in the compiler, or am I doing something stupid again? | But now I've run into another problem.
