Set armor and helmet using only engine

I want to replace this

PHP Code:


		
			
cs_set_user_armor(id, 300, CS_ARMOR_VESTHELM)

I try to do it this way, I'm just not sure if I would be doing the same

PHP Code:


		
			
/*

knowing that -> EV_FL_armortype...?



CS_ARMOR_NONE = 0, // no armor

CS_ARMOR_KEVLAR = 1, // armor

CS_ARMOR_VESTHELM = 2 // armor and helmet

*/



entity_set_float(id, EV_FL_armortype, 2.0)



static Float:fArmor; fArmor = entity_get_float(id, EV_FL_armorvalue)



entity_set_float(id, EV_FL_armorvalue, fArmor + 300.0)

May I ask why?

Re: Set armor and helmet using only engine

I'm trying to use as few modules as possible thus optimizing you could say performance and response times in terms of native calls

It makes no such difference.

Re: Set armor and helmet using only engine

Such micro-optimizations are completely redundant. Whether you use the native in your plugin or not, the module will still run if used by other plugins. This particular change accomplishes nothing in terms of speed.

A complete waste of time. If a module can do what you need to do, use it.

fewer modules != performance. I honestly don't know where people get this idea and why they keep insisting even when they are told it's completely wrong. Loading more/less modules has nothing to do with "response time" or "performance". If this was the case, it would mean loading a module has a direct impact on the cpu, causing overhead. But loading a module is merely reading the bytes from the different sections of the binary file only once and then mapping them in the address space of the hlds process. At most you use a tiny tiny bit of memory, probably a few kbs.

Use the proper module for the job. That's all there is to it.

Code:

#include amxmodx
#include engine
#define ent create_entity("game_player_equip")
public plugin_precache()DispatchKeyValue( ent, "item_assaultsuit", "1" ) && DispatchSpawn(ent);
