Instead of using MAX_PLAYER_NAME can i use [24]; as 24 is the max limit of player name allowed, will it use less CPU or stay the same ?

if you look in your a_samp.inc you will find out that MAX_PLAYER_NAME is defined as (24) and you would change nothing at all

Okay nevermind then, trying to reduce alota CPU

Changing the number to 24 from the macro really wouldn't change anything.

A #define is processed in compile-time. That is, when you press the compile button, the script searches every MAX_PLAYER_NAME in your script, and replaces it with a 24. Afterwards, it compiles.
It is advised to use the macros, because in case any sa-mp limit changes in a future version (for example, sa-mp might end up supporting a max player name of 30 characters), you would just need to recompile your script, and not change every single number in your whole script.
