I'm guessing that "Too Complex!" happens when there's too much text. Or maybe just when too much text is created too quickly.

@@Nikola_M that also makes sense

I’m guessing infinite loop happens when too many actions happen in a turn, and too complex happens when there are too many things doing actions or maybe when there are too many objects.

Nah………

Ah I thought that's what was causing it!

Except there’s a hardcoded rule that there can only be 6 of an object on a tile at the same time. Also, if Baba is Weak and Baba has Baba, the 2 Babas die and are replaced with 2 different Babas. I think it has something to do with the text. Not sure if what I’m saying is correct, but I think it is. EDIT: There seems to be at least 3 babas on one spot, so maybe you are right, but I don’t see how. EDIT 2: Also Baba doesn’t drop the word Cash? I am rather confused by what’s going on.

@@theawesomepanda1lance241 I think that something is stopping baba from spawning the cash text.

@@omgjames But what is it? The logic of the game should say Baba runs onto the rock, dies, drops the word cash and another Baba, then rinse and repeat for as long as Baba idles on the rock. I hope this doesn’t come off as rude; I’m just trying to understand.

I'll do some further testing to see what's going wrong.

how could a single sentence have more than 3000 ways to read it?

a sentence is a line of adjacent text, the 3000 variation limit is just the number of unique combinations in the sentence (in ideal conditions). baba/keke/baba me/algae/hand baba/you/rosy would have 9 variations (baba1 me rosy, baba2 hand you, etc). Only if the sentence is 4x stacked or higher and you take special effort would the variant limit be reached but not the firstword. If the goal is to cause any too complex by text, a player would almost never cause by variant limit.

@@DoIt-kz4fi except that's the exact limit that got hit in this case. if you watch closely, the screen happens right when you end up with 5 stacks of 'win' text in a row. assuming that the babas were max stacked, each of those stacks would have 6 'win' text, and since 6^4

@@donovanmahan2901 along with the firstword limit. I meant “rarely only by variant limit and not firstwords.” Firstwords grow faster than variants in all cases, and in this case there was around 9600, which is greater than 5000. Though the game might measure variants first, since it seems faster to do so.

Baba has crash

The game dosen't know cash because the cash in the memory is metatext, causing a lua error.

yeah it's out now

It's a Lua Error. Actually, what's a lua error?

@@lilmarionscorner idk

@@NecoNGaming A lua error in Baba Is You is when an object turns into something undefined.

@@lilmarionscorner yeah uhhh do you know something called a joke. i was'nt serious also why are you replying to a comment from a year ago

@@NecoNGaming Yes, I do. I like replying.

No, it’s a mod

Main editor menu -> Help and General Setting -> Enable Adv Words/Extended Features - Make sure those are ON. Current version of the Betatest is Version 383

@@omgjames I have the level editor from Hempuli's itchio, it's labeleld as Beta 1.0.4, and it doesn't have this feature? Also I can't find where this Version 383 is be available?

Oh so I'm using the in game editor inside of Baba Is you...so you might not be able to actually use those extra features

@@omgjames Ohhhhh that makes sense, thank you

I am sure theres a link for download

i got it from stacking baba is wonder a couple billion times (even stacking the wonders on top of each other) and got the rules screen to break (i was actually terrified)

Too Complex is caused by 5000+ firstwords or 3000+ objects, not necessarily turn calculation time

Too Complex happens when you have over 2000 items on screen at once, the game has noticeable slowdown when you have large amounts of moving objects, and if 2000 are present on-screen (They can be stacked!) you'll have a "Too Complex!" show up as it tries to make the 2001'th. You can also have 5000 "First Words" which are "X is" or "is X" which the game does keep track of. If you manage to make a sentence over 3000 ways to interpret it that also triggers a Too Complex! Infinite Loop happens when you have over 200 rule changes in a single iteration, which can be easily set up when you do a few things; notable is "Not feeling" and "X is TEXT" as Not Feeling activates anything not adjacent, overlapping, or *controlled by* whatever is the first noun. When "Baba is not feeling you is you" is combined with "Baba is not you" makes it so it loops and checks everything again after doing a negation; "Baba is not you" ok, lets check the others; "Baba is not feeling you is you" Ok so you're Baba, lets recheck the rules for sanity; "Baba is not you" *...And it repeats* 200 times before the engine realizes *This is too many rules and no end is in sight.* The other way is "X is Text" and use a physical object to represent text, then make it fail a sanity check to make it loop. If (Rock) is TEXT, and ROCK is TEXT ever has ROCK is NOT TEXT it'll break; "The physical rock object is text.", ok "The word rock is text", Still good, "Rock is NOT TEXT", ok, but thats a negation so we'll loop back, and now the physical rock is *considered not text which means we have to go back...* So, "(Rock) is text, ROCK is TEXT, (ROCK) is NOT TEXT" and *The Loop Happens.* Anything where you can get 2 values to feed off one another with a negation instantly breaks the game. It'll loop 200 times and then throw up the Infinite Loop screen. Anywhere you can cause endless sprites or infinite words, or endless sentences it'll trigger a Too Complex. Thanks for coming for my TED talk.

metametatext

yes

How many layers of meta can you do?????

@@cube4923 at least 2

Text that references specific text objects

from what ive learned so far text_text_baba is you, makes it so that you are not baba but instead text_baba

meta text now requires file editing. should probably make an updated version.

@@omgjames thx for the information

how?

James forgot to add cash to the palette

Which is why it caused an error.

Metatext is text that describes another specific piece of text (i.e. rules with text_text_baba apply to all pieces of text_baba) It is demonstrated throughout the video.

Basically each type of text (maybe letters too idk) is its own object

@@theawesomepanda1lance241 That's cool, I'm impatient to play with level working with these when the level editor will be out of beta.

@@theawesomepanda1lance241 I think they were asking how to get the "Metatext!" message to pop up

@@tablasechstitu1122 If that’s what they did mean, then my answer is: there is no “Metatext!” message.
