The limit to large scratch scripts

I am the last person you would find talking about a "limit' to scratch. i dislike saying that, but i have officially found it. I do not know if this problem occurs in the latest version however as I have version 1.3 . After building a 3 script, 2 sprite, 2 player fighting game with menu ect. I was building the longest script I have ever seen on scratch. When I got to a certain point of that script, the last section and anything added after that in the same script would be cut off. However, the space would still show up that it was there and if you clicked the empty space twice, the script started. Again, however, any script that was cut off in the script did not work on the project. In short, I found the limit to the amount of blocks one script can use before it starts to cut off the script. If anyone has seen this before, I will be impressed. The project crashed the scratch program 27 times in the last 30 min. when I was making it, so it took a lot of patience for me to figure it out. I know I can make it so that the script is divided into 2 scripts that act upon each other, but my goal was 3 scripts. Am I in a position unable to complete it the way I intended? Is there a way for you to fix this problem?

Re: The limit to large scratch scripts

Sorry but it's still occurring in Scratch 1.4. However, in Scratch 1.4, it seems that any script that was cut off in the script still work on the project...

EDIT: Check out this post.

Re: The limit to large scratch scripts

I agree, but it's more than likely to be fixed in Scratch 2.0.

In the meantime, you should separate it into multiple scripts. (Bonus: it cuts down on lag, and makes the scripts easier to edit and organize!)


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

im aware of all of that, it just defeats the purpose of me making specifically to run 3 scripts...
