limit to global variables

for some reason whenever ive tried to add another variablea t the top of my script it keeps getting sytax errors. i think i have about 14 right now. Is there a limit?

Only memory issues.

It may be something silly like missing a semi-colon, redeclaring a variable name, misspelling its variable type, or trying to assign it a function derived value (vector start=llGetPos(); for example WON'T work for a global).

I often use this online checker. This is so awesome.

ive checked all those issues. everything is entered correctly and there are nor repteats. whenever i add another variable now, it actually jumps to a list i have later in script, and says error there, but if i take the variable off the op, the list is fine. And there is no repeats or things missing, checked all that

I checked the following script at the lslint. And I got 20 "never used" warnings but not syntax errors. It is certain that this issue has nothing to do with the limitation of list.

list l01;
list l02;
list l03;
list l04;
list l05;
list l06;
list l07;
list l08;
list l09;
list l10;
list l11;
list l12;
list l13;
list l14;
list l15;
list l16;
list l17;
list l18;
list l19;
list l20;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSay(0, "Hello Avatar");
    }
}

Post the code in question and maybe we can give you more of an idea why it is happening.

Danielz, I have encountered this sort of issue as well - usually if you try re-arranging your code, for example by moving some 'globals' to 'locals' if you are able, or vice versa, or even just moving functions around randomly, the problem disappears. I assume there is some sort of stack or complexity limit being reached within the LSL compiler itself.

If it's a list there's a limit shown in paragraph 4 of 72 items that can be included in the global declaration which could be causing it. The work around is to write two (or more) lists and join them together. Internally the vm will work with longer lists.

If that doesn't work could you post the script and/or the error message - just the globals bit should do.

Just in case those didn't fix it, you can't set global variables with function calls in the global section.

ie- rotation globalrot = llGetRot(); would not work if you put it in the globals section

you would have to define rotation globalrot; at the top, and then in state_entry() do : globalrot = llGetRot()
