Resetting variables - iTorran - 20.08.2012

Okay, resetting variables is something I tend to do differently each time..
I have never really looked into the best places to reset them..

Sometimes I will reset them on connect, sometimes on disconnect, and sometimes both..
So, the question is, where is the best place to reset player variables?


Example:
pawn Code:
new Example[MAX_PLAYERS];

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    Example[playerid] = 0;
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerDisconnect(playerid, reason)
{
    Example[playerid] = 0;
    return 1;
}

On player disconnect , it is safer ,server takes less resources

Both for safety reason.

OnPlayerConnect because you won't need to reset the variables if the playerid isn't taken later on.
