I'd go #define for numbers (and floats).
Though I'd better go "new" instead of "const".

Defines just make the code look worse and less readable

PHP Code:

const OFFSET_FAMAS_AMMO = 380 


OFFSET_FAMAS_AMMO is a constant that holds the value 380.

I'm talking about efficiency - is there a difference between both #define and const?

Efficiency? No. The only difference is that a global const will lay on memory during the plugin lifetime. What means nothing.

That's the same of when someone wants to know if a string matches another and instead of compare it all, just compare some characters. You save almost nothing to make the code look worst.

PHP Code:

(x[0] == 's' && x[3] == 'f')

equal(x,"stuff")

"const" is useless. Why use it?

it might even be faster because in the case of non-const the compiler won’t have to copy it into the heap first. In many cases you know it will never be modified, and the native declaration simply forgot a ‘const’ keyword.

Why would you do this:

PHP Code:

equal(x,"stuff") 


When you can do this?

PHP Code:

(x[0] == 's' && x[3] == 'f')

You do not have to but defining it as a constant will prevent its data from being changed accidentally in your script. It will hold the same value and take up the same amount of memory regardless.

Example:

PHP Code:

new const iVar = 5;

public TheFunc()
{
    iVar = 12;
} 


Compiler:

Error: Must be lvalue (non-constant) on line 5

Fine, I'm going on constants then.
Thanks.

Use what you prefer, defines will not use any memory and a const will. Jamoriquai was giving you his opinion

Jamoriquai is me?
