what's the difference between dcmd and zcmd ?? and when we have to use each one ?

ZCMD is recommended.

DCMD is just a macro of the default method (using strcmp which means slower).

DCMD is a type of making command and ZCMD is also, actually not much differents, just the style

dcmd_mycommand(playerid, params[]) using strcmp

CMD:mycommand(playerid, params[])

I'm using ZCMD

ZCMD is faster though, I saw a chart before that ****** posted; comparing the speed of DCMD/ZCMD/YCMD and ZCMD+YCMD are much faster.

The picture doesn't exist anymore but it was originally here:https://sampforum.blast.hk/showthread.php?tid=416104&page=2

Indeed they are and actually y_commands is faster than ZCMD (for over 100 commands and from what I've read, y_commands is going to be much faster in the next release of YSI Library).

Nice

[AnonScripter]

What do you mean by faster and fastest ?

[EiresJason]

The average execution time. See the link Konstantinos posted.
