Efficiency - ScottCFR - 18.07.2010

Okay, I am working on a script and I've always kinda had this question. If I'm looking to see if a player comes within a range of a point would it be more efficient to set a timer with a custom call back, or use OnPlayerUpdate?

Im no expert but im pretty sure a timer would be more efficient than onplayerupdate.
onplayerupdate is called many times per second the script would also check if a player is in range of point many times per second even if he/she is not in range of point.

Use OnPlayerEnterDynamicArea from Incognito's streamer plugin.
