Oh forgive me, i forgot to reply to you, sorry .

You previous post looks ok, i assume you chose the OnPlayerUpdate method only as an example to display a use for the XOR operator. If thats what you were doing, good job. You should probably note that ideally you would use the OnPlayerKeyStateChange callback though, and that it was just an example.

I've never really played with packed strings before, so i know very little when it comes to the char operator. So cant really comment on this subject. Im not sure if i'll even mess with it (the operator in general) to be honest, it seems like a ton of work for saving a bit of ram (also i imagine unpacking/checking for it would just be slow, so not sure if its worth it to me).

Im well aware of the benefits, im just not willing to sacrifice speed for 15k of ram lol. Im fine with using the first method though (i've actually been using it for a while) as its not as slow as the packing alternative, and i can stuff more into a single variable.

In order for me to sacrifice speed for memory (which i have a lot of) it has to be pretty well worth it to me lol.
