Pvar or global variable? - -Rebel Son- - 07.02.2011

Well, deciding between using Pvar or a global variable.

like..

SetPVar Kills

or..

new Kills[MAX_PLAYERS]

or...

using my account system to save it.

enum
kills

Witch would be more relieable.

PVars are slower, but they use less memory. Global variables are faster, and they use memory.

I'm using global variables in a lot of things, and using PVars in some circumstances (such as Strings)

If you want to save user's stats and change them in the future, use global vars. I'm suing PVars for smaller things, like a one-time restore of a variable(Health,ID of a player, etc').

Edit: if you have already got an account system, USE IT! (enum)
