All of which are very demanding forwards, so a static would be handy to reduce overhead in the long term.

One annoying thing with static is that you cannot assign as you can with new, example:

Code:

new team = get_user_team(id)
static team
team = get_user_team(id)

Also I'm uncertain about this as well:

Code:

static team, player

Would player be a static or a new? I assume static but we all know how buggy the Pawn compiler is!

I'm pretty sure that in your last example they would both be static.
