Question about efficiency [I hail ye might y_less!] - [HLF]Southclaw - 07.01.2010

Ok, I have a textdraw with a Number of players array on it:

new Text

Text[PLAYERS]; // PLAYERS is my predefined number for max players on my server [to avoid looping 500]

And I create this textdraw when a player connects [applying the [ ] to their playerid] I was thinking would it by more efficient to create the text on OnGameModeInit and just loop 10 so 10 get created at startup?

Thanks

That's what foreach is for.

Depends what is in them - if there are only 10 and they have static text there's not point creating one per player. If they are different for each player then you need one each - it's not a question of efficiency, it's a question of what they're used for.

It's to display what XP they get when they get a certain kill or action, so it has to be dynamic as 2 players could get a kill at the same time.

Thanks for reply
