Fancade has a hard script limit. After a certain number of scripts in the editor, adding anything else will cause a "Too many scripts" error. The game will refuse to run as long as the extra scripts are not removed. Games that do not optimise scripts affecting multiple objects into loops are most likely to run into this issue.

# History

Script limit has been a mystery for a long time. An elusive upper limit that creators randomly hit, and are forced to scrap their ambitious project. Fancade 1.2 significantly improved the scenario by introducing Advanced Inspect blocks. Those blocks, when enabled, showed how much of the script limit has the game consumed already.

# Technical Details

The introduction of advanced inspect allowed for more robust testing, which helped in discovering some key insights regarding the elusive script limit. Among those, Andrew Clark's discoveries were crucial for our current understanding of it.

### Script Blocks

Every script block counts as 1 script towards the total limit. It does not matter which script block it is, as long as it is an inbuilt script block, it adds 1 to the counter. The attached image has 4 script blocks, thus the script consumption is 4/4096 or roughly 0.1%.

### Wire Splits

A wire split counts as 1 script towards the limit. Thus the script in image A adds 4 scripts (3 script blocks + 1 wire split) to the counter.
