Multiple new vs one new

[IdonTmiss]

Umm so is this better

new x;
new z;
new a;
new b;
new c;
...

or

new x,
      z,
      a,
      b,
      c;

Define "better".

I think it's the same thing, except for the second version you write less.

Faster? Like using it in an timer or smth

Then neither. And if you think that is what you need to worry about in code, you don't understand optimisations at all.

Calm down, you didn't at one point.

and no @IdonTmiss that's the exact same thing, just more neat in a way.

If you want to use less variables you can use arrays, i.e.

PHP Code:

new PlayerCash[MAX_PLAYERS]; 


This would make a variable that has 999 different, "slots" lets call them.

This means that you can do something like this.

PHP Code:

if(PlayerCash[0] == 0)
{
    SendClientMessage(0, -1, "Ha Ha, you're poor.");
} 


That above would check to see what integer is stored to PlayerCash for the "slot" 0 (slot 0 being Player ID 0 on the tab list)

Very basic but you get the idea.

This also does not improve optimisation, again it's just neater.

Variables have such a tiny tiny impact on the server, you shouldn't worry about the amount of variables you're using tbh.

I read on this community at an optimization section that tin array variables are slower.
I do not know for sure whether it's true or not.

Like I said, you shouldn't worry about arrays/multiple variables the impact is absolutely minuscule, also like I said, it wasn't an optimisation, just more neat than using 12 different variables.

No, that's why we tell people.

I mainly use the second method. Just looks better.
