For example:
Code:
#include <amxmodx> #include <amxmisc> #define MAX_LIMIT 100 new gMax_limit = MAX_LIMIT

public plugin_init() { register_plugin("Somthing","Something","Sure") } public a_function(id) { client_print(id,print_chat,"Max limit is: %i", gMax_limit) }



Would it be better to register the variable in the function 'a_function' ?
Totally wrong, they take up the same amount of memory.

Global variables are much faster though, as they're not deleted/created/filled each time they're needed.

Like SweatyBanana said, however, the storage is retained throughout the plugin's execution (clearing it impossible, even setting it to 0 leaves it as unusable to other applications).
