Well, here is the big question
.
To check for example the player state (Alive or dead) or cvars values in "heavy" functions (OnGameFrame, OnPlayerRunCmd, Timer100ms,...), is it better to remember the value using a global variable (+ Some hooks to detect when the real value has changed) or to use directly the natives (IsPlayerAlive, ...)?
I'm mainly talking in terms of performance (Memory shouldn't be an issue) and in case of a complex server using multiple plugins (Like a zombie mode for example).

Under Amxmodx, lot of developpers were doing like above using global variables, even for "light" functions (OnTakeDamage, OnWeaponSwitch,...), but is it the same for SourceMod?
