I think it's the same thing, except for the second version you write less.

Calm down, you didn't at one point.

and no @IdonTmiss that's the exact same thing, just more neat in a way.

If you want to use less variables you can use arrays, i.e.

PHP код:



new PlayerCash[MAX_PLAYERS];

This would make a variable that has 999 different, "slots" lets call them.

This means that you can do something like this.

PHP код:



if(PlayerCash[0] == 0)

{

    SendClientMessage(0, -1, "Ha Ha, you're poor.");

}

That above would check to see what integer is stored to PlayerCash for the "slot" 0 (slot 0 being Player ID 0 on the tab list)

Very basic but you get the idea.

This also does not improve optimisation, again it's just neater.

Variables have such a tiny tiny impact on the server, you shouldn't worry about the amount of variables you're using tbh.

I read on this community at an optimization section that tin array variables are slower.
I do not know for sure whether it's true or not.

Like I said, you shouldn't worry about arrays/multiple variables the impact is absolutely minuscule, also like I said, it wasn't an optimisation, just more neat than using 12 different variables.

I mainly use the second method. Just looks better.
