Hey guys, Nick here. I have been wondering for some time now and I know a lot of people have told me not to include factions in my new RP script. I have been wondering, is there a difference between factions and teams? I know when you create a TDM script, you use teams, but is it made differently? If so, which one do you think is best to use for an RP script? Thanks!

By definition, there is No 'Difference'
TEAM Defines are often associated with Static Scripts where variables are Statically set to X.
The term 'Faction' was later migrated when someone figured out that TEAM didn't have to be Statically Defined..i assume they just decided to rename it, however those that are used to using static settings, often keep the Team Defines.

Hm, so what would you recommend that I use, even though there isn't a difference?

It honestly depends on your intentions of use...
If your just wanting to list out 20 or so factions that will always be THIS/THAT .. then static Scripting is fine...
If your intention is to Create Factions/Teams on the fly or in Live Time, the Variable sets are a better way to go...
Again, it all depends on what you intend on doing and what direction you intend for you script.

Well, I am currently scripting a Role Play server, but it isn't going to be anything like the others. Rather than having everything based in 1 city, it will be all of San Andreas.

Im there already.. royal fucking nightmare .. as you then have to have city definitions, Hospital Locations, if you have dynamic death ... the list goes on... If anyone has any 'opinion ( they always do ) people will just bitch about this and that... and your forced to convert as much of your variables to be as dynamically set as you can possibly get. Even then you'll end up coming back and rebuilding it because ( OMG, i never thought about this concept )..
My suggestion would be to use as much 'Dynamic' as you can!

Yep, already thought about that. I plan to use ZCMD for EVERY SINGLE COMMAND, unless I need to use DCMD. Everything will be dynamic and MySQL based, I also plan to set-up a UCP and ACP for my website. (User Control Panel and Admin Control Panel)
