Codeing limit?
OKay, I am making an Ai for one of my games and one of the scripts has gotton extremly long. So long infact, that at the end, some of it dissapears. I am serios, there is a line where the script gets chopped off, in the middle of a block, about 7/8s down my code. Also, The rest of it is still there (The chopped off part) , but invisible. Any Ideas?

Re: Codeing limit?
Are you serious? Can you upload the project so I can see it?

Re: Codeing limit?
wow. I've noticed that with long scripts, when adding to it it becomes very slow. But only with that one script. Like, when I was making the movement for my pokemon game (which actually is more complex than it sounds, because if you just tap a key it'll only point in that direction, but not move, also there's fishing and stuff to take into account, plus if you tap a key and you're already pointing in that direction then you actually do move, also costumes n' stuff), the script got immensly slow. Eventually I divided it into four seperate scripts, one for each direction.
Take Archmage's suggestion: could you upload it?

Sure. It is only one script, I probably should have made that clear. Just so you know. And yes, It has gotton extremly slow.

The Strange thing is: you have another script below it (enough space between). That one Script just stops...
I know, its crazy. The funniest part is, that portion of the script is still there, its just invisible. If you try to pull it out, scripts will pop up out of nowhere.

Re: Codeing limit?
Looks like you found an internal limitation in Scratch! I suggest you subdivide into smaller stacks of blocks. Interesting to see!
