Setting variables out of a function

[monday]

Hi, at the begining of my script (outside of any function) I use something like:

GREEN_COLOR = "#4ED451" 
RED_COLOR = "#D4644E" 

Is this being read all the time or only once?

I'm wondering if it would be more efficient to put it in a function called upon loggin in.

All global variables are always accessible through any file with the same type (server/client) as the file they were defined into. Putting them in a function will just define them as if they were "new" upon function call (unless you localize them, so they're accessible only within the function's scope). It's also notable that you cannot access any variable from another resource. Instead, you can always use call or "exports" table. Anyways, i think you need to learn the basics of Lua variables or the basics of Lua if needed.
