20 timers that checks if the player is in range of one point each, or 1 timer that checks if the player is in range of one of 20 points?

I'm making a script where the player will gradually loose HP in some areas, and I need to know what method to use.

In my opinion the speed would be similar for both, you could check the efficiency by using

pawn Код:

tickcount(); // time.inc

For neatness and simplicity I would pick the latter of the two options.

One timer. Why have nineteen more player loops and timers ticking away than you need?

[Rachael]

This is a good point, I didn't think of that.

A point FOR multiple timers: If you have only one timer, you will have to loop through all players, checking if they are connected. But if you create a timer per player on connection you wont have to check if he is connected every time.

But i think one timer is still faster. If you use foreach it is for sure.
