So in a project I’m working for, we’ve encountered an odd problem with really long scripts (thousands of lines long). At what seems to be regular intervals, the lines will break, thus causing syntax errors. I read somewhere scripts should be limited to no more than 500 lines maximum.

Does anyone know if there is an actual hard limit to the number, the reason it happens, and any workarounds? Thanks.
