I've noticed a couple times that when you ctrl-b a piece of code and crtl-shift-b it somewhere else the 'player role' scripting command doesn't carry over, which is a big problem for long scripts based on player role

Hey, while we're discussing ctrl-shift-B errors: when I copy out of my code a line of speech with a ms delay, e.g.

Speech Beethro, 10, "Jeebus."

it enters the clipboard as

Speech "Jeebus.",Normal,Beethro,10,.

But when I paste this line back in, it's lost the ms delay.

E-gad! You're right. The delay was not being read back in. I've fixed this for build 58.

Copy-and-pasting Player Role commands to and from the clipboard is working for me. Would you give a simple concrete example of a command that wouldn't work for me if I tried it?

I know it can't just be my hold so maybe the bug is produced by copying a bigger pile of scripting

You're probably right. If you can identify some script text that makes this happen, please post it here and I can fix the bug.

The exact pieces of code that I'm always copying is:

Wait for entity player at (x,y)
End on room exit
Cut scene 200
Player role None
Wait 5 turn(s)
Go to level entrance (Skip entrance screen("some level entrance")

Also, if this helps, I'm just copying the script from one NPC to another, not exporting it to some notepad file.

Thanks for the example. It's the "None" role that was part of the problem. It's a special value that happened to be thrown out by the command pasting code. I've fixed it for build 60.
