Expression Too Complex - some details?

[Jacob]

Dines, while we've caught you here would you mind reuploading EE+ somewhere? The link on TDC has been dead for ages.

EDIT: It'd be awesome if the expression limits were removed. Then I could release my two action platform engine (Always Set Y Position and Set X Position)

EDIT2: Also, if I recall correctly there are two expression limits, one for complexity and one for length. The length limit is as Dines said, but complexity is based on number of operations and cannot be solved by splitting it into two parts.

I always get hit with the expression length limit - especially when I'm working with strings, trying to join them together and whatnot. I often have to use the method mentioned previously of using one expression to combine a bunch of strings saved to values together.

I never have this problem, but it's because I avoid super long expressions just for the sake of clarity. Even if longer expressions are supported, you should still consider building those long strings in multiple actions just to make the events more understandable.

Util expressions can be formatted more visually pleasing (with line breaks and indenting among other things), just use an auxiliary global string that you dedicate for temporary uses.
