I would agree with fysiks & connor. From what I see, you overthink on something which enlightens your actual problem : you don't use properly an IDE. Unless you're using a simple text editor like the old notepad, you have generally a drop-down list showing the variables used, you just need to type the first letters. Also, what you want to do is really a very bad practice making the code less readable. A code should be simple & easy to understand. If you start to insert random macro to have just one letter, it will be harder to maintain code and you will waste more time you think you could gain. Focus on the quality of the code instead.

I try to avoid that. If you know how to zp work then you see that the creator of it did 9 or more plugins for one mod. What i do is that my mod will be just 1 sma but with parts ( many .inc-s ) Also each .inc code have different variable tag. This is just an idea.

Are you talking about it being difficult to write descriptive variables ? That's like programmers 101. Lol you write a bauble to be as descriptive ad possible so you and other people know what your talking about. As for globals.

They may be defined outside of a function to be used as a global other wise it is a local variable available inside of that function only. Both are good and can be just as long. Shop not sure what your problem is.

This gave me alot to think about...
But thanks.

You won't gain in performances, you would have better to try to improve those 9 plugins codes.

Breaking up code can be easier to read though.

I never use any fancy things like this drop-down that you speak of. If the variable is descriptive (accurately) it's much easier to remember them and type them quickly.

Very well said.
