a quick question

[1bit]

Okay, hey MTA Forum Visitors

I have 2 questions about some Scripting Functions + Account System

I plan to make an new complexe "Gamemode", with complexe i mean it should be ready for EVERY User mass so far

Okay my first question:

What of these 2 Methods is better / faster ?

1:

 msgString = "Hello" 
outputChatBox(msgString + "," + getPlayerName(source)) 

2:

 msgString = "Hello" 
outputChatBox(string.format("%s, %s", msgString, getPlayerName(source)) 

Reason of this question is i have an multi language System i self decide more for string.format..

I'm not sure what a Account System i should use...

I have currently an MySQL Account System with the Built- in DB Function, but i think with many query's in one time (like on 90+ players logging in and out causes lagging)

i thinked about the built-in Account System ?

I know i can make self a benchmark but this post is to know more about the experience of other Scripters/Server Owners for efficency data saving

Thanks for Reading, and that you survived my bad english

I doubt you did a complex gamemode with that small knowledge.

In Lua, to concatenate strings we use ".." and not "+" like in C++.

Both methods are the same.

I have so far enough experience, this with "+" was a mistake beacuse i make many things in other languages like Java etc.

I overjumped some of the Basics of lua, my mistake now i see it in things like that

LUA using so far i know a "VM" but anyways i thinked string.format costs some extra performance beacuse it executes an extra function, like on other programming languages ..

With the accountsystem im sure its not the same the built-in saves it in the ".sql" file the read / write speed comes from the type of HDD, with the mysql is had so far some mistakes like to much query's etc, idk really of mta makes a use of query "stacking", like 2 querys come and compressed to one and sending as one)

EDIT: i want learn some "RIGHT" things and do it yet in the right way not later ^^
