Can someone download this project and possibly tell me if there is an easier way to script it? What it does is separate the digits in a number and show them on separate sprites. I'm gonna use it for a calculator I'm making and the less scripts the better. Thanks smile

I will take a look at this after school and get back to you smile I will attempt to fix up your scripts, and hopefully make them smaller!

Thanks smile I originally had a really really long script and although this one is long too my other one was at least 30 times longer.

haha, yeah scripts can become unorganised. have you tried cleaning up your scripts? Iti s always better when your scripts are short, but good.
Check out the huge script for the game in my sig... very long xD

Yeah I've tried cleaning them up. Doesn't really help me much but it looks better and more organized. And wow that's really long

I just did the math and my other script was 1478.2 times longer O.O

dankill51, I have checked out your script, I personally could not manage to simplify it, you have done it quite nicely! sorry I could not have been any help..
Thanks

Don't be afraid to have tons of scripts, some of the best games have over 100. Its good to be efficient, but not too efficient.

Thanks for trying smile I wasn't sure if it could have gotten smaller or not. I was just wondering. And thanks Wes64. I was expecting the calculator I'm going to make to have a lot of scripts and I didn't want it to be too slow.

Lots of scripts won't make your project slow.
