Re: [TUT] Modules and efficient scripting

xPaw, tasks are not suitable for profiling it seems.

Edit: Of course they aren't. Profiling tasks is like profiling forwards. They are called from the module so you just can't do it.

Re: [TUT] Modules and efficient scripting

It doesn't have more code. You are forgetting that fm_create_entity has more calls inside it.

Calling functions inside modules is less expensive than plugins calling module provided functions.

Re: [TUT] Modules and efficient scripting

In Pawn not. There's only a type of data called cell. The "bool:" , "Float:" , etc, are only tags to help the user operating over data.

An easy way to prove that is that every native provided to...

Re: [TUT] Modules and efficient scripting

The best way would be to compare each function and use which was faster. As a rule you can chose the way less natives are called.

#define fm_create_entity(%1) engfunc(EngFunc_CreateNamedEntity,...

Anyway, the point of all this story is that the true is fair from "Porting everything to fakemeta is optimizing".

Re: [TUT] Modules and efficient scripting

Can you talk to a developer to tell us he's final opinion on that matter?

Re: [TUT] Modules and efficient scripting

So you are talking about the time that it takes since the module searches for the hooks that it have to call and the actual call.
I guess that that time is outside of the scope of the profile...

What "a forward being faster than other" means?

Re: [TUT] Modules and efficient scripting

I have two questions:

How can increment a variable inside a forward be less or more expensive depending on which forward?

What is the point of profiling forwards?

Re: [TUT] Modules and efficient scripting

I know what it is but also never needed to check if "equals 2".



I guess that there isn't any difference.

Re: [TUT] Modules and efficient scripting

Ok. So the comparison is not fair.
A question: is it normal needing the "return 2" case?

Re: [TUT] Modules and efficient scripting

More. (I'm assuming that pev_valid(id) is equivalent to is_valid_ent(id)). If they aren't, the results are invalid.

No. He just said that more tests should be made. Here they are and fakemeta is never faster.

Re: [TUT] Modules and efficient scripting

He's right about what? Using fakemeta is never faster, even not being engine always clearly faster.

Basically:

All this years everybody (Except Hawk) thought that fakemeta way was faster....

Re: [TUT] Modules and efficient scripting

About set_pev/entity_set the results say that it is basically the same thing.

(The same for pev/entity_get)

About:



My guess is that it is the same thing (Or probably engine better since there's no need to check the data type (i guess)). Will profile later.
