Hello, I am currently making a game that includes a VERY big script. Does anyone know the limit on how big it can be?

Pretty sure it can go infinite. Just spam Enter on the script to find out.

There are scripts over 10000 lines, don't think you need to worry about it.

Even if you need a huge script, you can just modulate it.

Might be smarter to have multiple scripts tho. It gets laggy when trying to enter scripts, I presume same thing would happen when trying to run it.

It's not the amount of lines that do it. I'm not sure exactly what it is. Length of compiled code? Number of variables? Who know, but I know it happens. Unless you're hard-coding everything, don't worry about it.

"how do u lag opening text" Seriously, everyone has experienced some form of lag when opening a file at some point, idc what editor you use. Sublime Text, Atom, Notepad++, Notepad, and Code all have an issue opening larger files, such as JC3. (Sublime Text took just under 17 seconds to load it) Obviously, I don't have an SSD, but that is not the point. Many people don't have SSDs, so saying "Wth how u lag" obviously isn't referring to that. The point is, files don't load instantly.

For the record, JC3 is 180,000 characters long, not that much.

I'm sure it has a limit, but its WAY up there. Don't worry about it.
