maxarturo Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone. I have more than a week that i've finished with my droid's combat script, and now i'm just adding some additional options for the player to have more access to the droid's functions. Today i added 2 more options to her 'Audio Functions' and when i pasted the script, it ate half of my last 'Function' (at the end of the script), it wouldn't accept the whole script!. Fortunately i understood quickly what was going on, so i removed all my "Script Notes / Descriptions" to make more 'Symbol Space', after i did this it did accept the whole script. So, my question: Does anyone knows the symbol / letters limits of papyrus?. * I still have 1 last minor thing to add, and it would be great to know the papyrus limit before starting to work on it. Thank you very much and have a pleasant day. Edited October 13, 2020 by maxarturo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxarturo Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Hey thanks dylbill. I did a quick search in Nexus forum and google, but i came up with nothing!, but most of the times is all about what you type in the search. Ok then... it's definitely the script's kilobyte !!! The solution discussed in the link you posted, unfortunately won't work for me, since to achieve the things that the droid does, they are all based on 'States', and especially jumping from 'State' to 'State' to 'State' to 'State'......, which they are all handle by "Combat Modes" that the player decides what to run. Plus, all the 'Fail Safes' the script has to ensure stability and consistency. I guess this is where the droids Ab + player's options to access the droid's functions... ends !. Thanks for your interest my friend. Edited October 13, 2020 by maxarturo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylbill Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 No problem, I think in the thread it said you can get around the limit by compiling with another program other than the CK, like notepad ++, that's worth a shot if you're not already doing that.

NexusComa2 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I did a script for a random generating dungeon and it's "5 miles long" ... I used Notepad ++ with a created popup hotkey linked to the compiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsharaMeradin Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Third party programs like Sublime Text or Notepad++ are the only way to get around the Creation Kit's display limit for the built-in editor. You can still compile scripts that exceed the length in the Creation Kit but you cannot do it through the built-in editor. The post by me in this thread has step by step instructions for one method of compiling scripts too large to be opened inside the Creation Kit's built-in editor.https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/2147419-need-to-get-around-script-character-limit/&do=findComment&comment=18824319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusComa2 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Found the tutorial to link a hotkey to the compiler from Notepad ++ Notepad ++ is great for skyrim mod scripting. Really like how you can keep every script in the mod open at the same time while scripting. Edited October 13, 2020 by NexusComa2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylbill Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) For scripting I use Skyrim Script Compiler Pro: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/100956/?tab=description I like it cause there's pretty much no setup you need to do, it has an auto complete feature and has custom syntax highlighting.

maxarturo Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Ok then, although i read carefully the link posted by dylbill, i guess that by the time i finished reading it, my brain was only thinking about the pillow... and completely erased anything not related with the pillow, oh gosh am i tired... Thank you all for sharing your know how. Good Morning and may you all have a pleasant day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusComa2 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Notepad++ is full featured programming editor with the ability to use multiple languages at the same time. It is on the level of a full blown C editor.Don't let the name fool you. This isn't just some run of the mill program. One of the highest rated multi platform editors around. Little odd you didn't even consider my suggestion at all ... I've tried pretty much every possible editor and compile option out there.Notepad++ is easy to install and adding a the compile off the editor option is as easy as making a hotkey .(I left you a link)I use it for every language I program in including C, C++, Assembler, WScript, Dos, XVM, Papyrus, Java, html, exc exc ... It can do them all like a boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
