GetTimer or GlobalTimer? - Patrick - 26.10.2013

Hello, Guys I'd like to ask you a question, which of this code is more optimized and faster?, Example code will be written below, I need your comments guys which of these techniques is much better and faster

pawn Код:

//This process will be repeated alot of time, (like 60 codes/function with this)
CMD:Hi(playerid, params[])
{
new
DelayTime[MAX_PLAYERS];

if((gettime() - DelayTime[playerid]) < 60)
return SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Please Wait.")

DelayTime[playerid] = gettime();
return 1;
}

Or

pawn Код:

//This process will be repeated alot of time, (like 60 codes/function with this
public OnGameModeInit();
{
SetTimer("@GlobalTimer", 1000, true);
return 1;
}

//Global Variable
new
DelayTime[MAX_PLAYERS];

CMD:hi(playerid, params[])
{
if(DelayTime[playerid] >= 1)
return SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "Please Wait.")

DelayTime[playerid] = 60;
return 1;
}

forward @GlobalTimer(); public @GlobalTimer()
{
if(DelayTime[playerid] >= 1)
return DelayTime[playerid] --;
if(DelayTime[playerid]) <= 1)
return DelayTime[playerid] =0;
return 1;
}

Just wanted to know which method is much faster.

The first one but you won't feel a difference.

Alright, It won't cause lag or something if used more than 60 times? I'm just confirming because one time I used [b]too much GetTickCount lags my server

It doesn't matter, both are good.

Always avoid timers whenever possible.

AW: GetTimer or GlobalTimer? - Mellnik - 26.10.2013

60 times a what? Its a normal native function which runs at c++ speed

Thanks, so you're saying that I should use gettime(), instead of a timer.

Yeah right thats what he's sayin

Re: GetTimer or GlobalTimer? - -Prodigy- - 26.10.2013

Yeah, don't use timers for this kind of things.. also, what's with people using "@" in their functions? Looks pretty daem ugly imo

I mean like I'll use this method more or less than 60 times.

It's a style
