[Question] Script size

[Noah_Antilles]

Hello there!

I've got a quick question regarding the size of scripts. I'm running a 700 line script to change, alter and modify the weapons in my server.

You can imagine this script is constantly being run in a TDM server. So my question is as follows:

Is it better, more efficient to have one big script like mine (700 lines) or multiple, smaller ones (7 scripts consisting of 100 lines each)?

 

Thanks for your time!

In terms of performance, it probably doesn't matter in your case. It also depends on how the script files access shared variables (e.g. global variables are much slower than local/upvalue variables) - but that's nothing you'd care about with a 700 lines script.

Instead, the question should be: Does splitting it up simplify it and improve readability?

Thanks for your reply!

For now I only simple scripting methods, once I learn more about scripting I might use those global variables and more advanced methods.

I personally prefer the way it is now, so the answer would be no.

Thanks once again
