Hello, I haven't used Pawn in a very long time so unfortunately I've forgotten a lot of things.
I was wondering whether it's a bad idea to code like this:


Instead of having a playerid as a parameter, like this

PHP код:

enum e_pvars { Name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME] };
new PlayerVars[MAX_PLAYERS][e_pvars];
public OnPlayerConnect(playerid) // like this
{
 
    new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME + 1];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, name, sizeof(name));
    SendClientMessageToAll(YELLOW, name);
 
    return 1;
} 


I create a new event that uses a player array containing information about that player, like this

PHP код:

New_OnplayerConnect(Player[]) // like this
{
    SendClientMessageToAll(YELLOW, Player[Name]);
}
public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    GetPlayerName(playerid, PlayerVars[playerid][Name], MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    New_OnplayerConnect(PlayerVars[playerid]);
    return 1;
} 


What are the disadvantages of doing that?

I think u make the script a little slower, because you call a lower function that calls the main function.
Why not using the principal function?

I thought arrays are always passed by reference? Does it really affect the performance in a scenerio where those PlayerVars are going to be used anyway?
