    I like to write the script code in a files,
    when i finish the scripting it maybe use 2000++ line,
    it will affect the performance?
    many of the code is use for many function, so that why i didn't separate it become multiple script.
    if i separate it become multiple,
    i need to call a lot of time if get a function run,
    it will drop down performance?

    Having a lot of code in your script will not visibly affect the performance of your game in any way. Having the code split between multiple scripts and having a lot of calls between them will also not affect the performance, but trust me when I say this: if you split the code properly, you will have a much easier time changing the code, maintaining and improving it. So, if I were you, I would choose to split my code in multiple scripts.

    Thanks for reply,
    but when you need call other scripts,
    you will use getComponent or Instance?
    or you have other better way?

    Use GetComponent() once in the Start() function of the script and store the result in a variable. Then you can access the object throughout the script using that variable with no loss in performance.
