How does dynamic variables work? - Xtreme Brotherz - 09.05.2014

Hey Guys,

Is there a need to delete a dynamic variable created or it does it automatically?

Код:

new variable;

but we are not able to

Код:

delete variable;

Is there any way to do this?

Wont this affect the memory usage of the script?

Thanks

I think you can ''remove'' variables by using them only inside a callback (basically preventing preempetive usage)

pawn Код:

function()
{
    new variable;
    // etc

    return 1;
}

There is no dynamic memory in pawn although it uses the same keyword 'new'
The new keyword creates a 32 bit variable / array indifferent of the type

Read the pawn-lang.pdf for further documentation

It might be worth mentioning that this plugin has added support to access memory dynamically. You can look into that, if interested.
