A static global is no different than a new global, except that static variables are always restricted to the file they are in. A static local acts like a global variable (without it actually being global) but only within the function itself. It remembers its value between seperate function calls. The wiki explains this very well: https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/Keywords:Initialisers#static

The const modifier declares the created variable as a constant. This means the variable will not be stored on the stack and that it cannot be modified by code. If you try to modify it the compiler will complain.
