Events with "player array" instead of playerid - PeanutButter - 06.02.2019

Hello, I haven't used Pawn in a very long time so unfortunately I've forgotten a lot of things.
I was wondering whether it's a bad idea to code like this:

Instead of having a playerid as a parameter, like this

PHP код:



enum e_pvars { Name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME] };

new PlayerVars[MAX_PLAYERS][e_pvars];



public OnPlayerConnect(playerid) // like this

{

 

    new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME + 1];

    GetPlayerName(playerid, name, sizeof(name));

    SendClientMessageToAll(YELLOW, name);

 

    return 1;

}

I create a new event that uses a player array containing information about that player, like this

PHP код:



New_OnplayerConnect(Player[]) // like this

{

    SendClientMessageToAll(YELLOW, Player[Name]);

}




public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)

{

    GetPlayerName(playerid, PlayerVars[playerid][Name], MAX_PLAYER_NAME);

    New_OnplayerConnect(PlayerVars[playerid]);

    return 1;

}

What are the disadvantages of doing that?

I think u make the script a little slower, because you call a lower function that calls the main function.
Why not using the principal function?

I thought arrays are always passed by reference? Does it really affect the performance in a scenerio where those PlayerVars are going to be used anyway?
