Okay, but that's not what I said. I said if you don't know what the difference is, don't use it. Also, 'new' can be used in filterscripts, includes and gamemodes at the same time as well? How is that a 'difference'?

Static variables remember their old values, and can only be used in the script in which they're declared.

Because 'static' variables only exist within the script they are declared in. So if you put it in your include file, the variables will not work outside of that include file.
