Hello!

Is better to do, this:

PHP код:

enum ePlayerData{
accountid,
score,
money,
IP[17],
SERIAL[42],
deaths
}
new PlayerData[MAX_PLAYERS][ePlayerData];
stock StorePlayerSerial(iPlayerID)
{
    new 
        szSerial[41]; // 40 + \0
 
    gpci(iPlayerID, szSerial, sizeof(szSerial));
    memcpy(PlayerData[iPlayerID][SERIAL], szSerial, 0, strlen(szSerial) * 4, 42);
    return szSerial;
}
//here it's not possible to return PlayerInfo[playerid][IP] because it will return a wrong value, I know. However I can use the PlayerInfo[playerid][IP] variable in the whole gamemode without problems, I have tested it.
stock StorePlayerIP(playerid)
{
    GetPlayerIp(playerid, PlayerInfo[playerid][IP], 17);
    return 1;
} 


So I can use the IP and SERIAL variables later at any time using

PHP код:

PlayerData[playerid][IP] 


or this way:

PHP код:

stock GetPlayerIP(playerid)
{
       new  ipaddr[17];
       GetPlayerIp(playerid, ipaddr, sizeof(ipaddr));
       return ipaddr;
}
stock GetPlayerSerial(iPlayerID)
{
    new  szSerial[42];
    gpci(iPlayerID, szSerial, sizeof(szSerial));
    return szSerial;
} 


I think the second way uses more memory because it creaste a string of 42 bytes (serial) everytime, but I'm not sure.

Meaning of ram memory/cpu/etc.. which is better to use and why?

Thank you.
