Because get_pcvar_num() is a function, everytime when another function (public) is called the function get_pcvar_num() is working. I know, I read somewhere get_pcvar_num() is ~5x faster than get_cvar_num(), but what if I put into a global variable? It's more faster?

#1 -> called each time if function print() is called

PHP Code:

new g_cvar

public plugin_init(){
   ///
   g_cvar = register_cvar("amx_cvar", "1")
}

public print(){
   client_print(0, print_chat, "--> THIS ONE ! %d", get_pcvar_num(g_cvar) )
} 


#2 -> once called in plugin_cfg()

PHP Code:

new g_cvar, g_newCvar

public plugin_init(){
   ///
   g_cvar = register_cvar("amx_cvar", "1")
}

public plugin_cfg(){
   g_newCvar = get_pcvar_num(g_cvar)
}

public print(){
   /* Can't use:
   client_print(0, print_chat, "--> %d", g_cvar)
   */
   client_print(0, print_chat, "--> %d", g_newCvar)
} 


I know it's a disadvantage for people who want's to modify their cvars while server is running.

I made this topic beacause I'm trying to find the fastest way, because one of the function is called everytime when a player get damaged.

The one without the native is the fastest (global variable). If you don't want the variable changed mid-game then use this method.

The variables. Might be faster but is it noticable prolly not... And most people like to be able to alter their cvars in the middle of the game. You can create a concmd though that can change the. Cvar and reassign the new value to the global var

[bibu]

Or you could cache the cvar at new rounds.

Or using Cvar Utilities.
