[Solved] [DOUBT] Solution for less stress

iceeedr · **Author**

Hey guys, a little doubt, thinking about the lowest possible stress on the machine, what is the most advantageous?

PHP Code:


			
set_task_ex(0.1, "Test", .flags = SetTask_Once

or

PHP Code:


			
RequestFrame("Test")

Explain what you're trying to do, not which code is better.

Hi Bugsy, nothing special, but my plugin has some tasks that are called only once and I use 0.1 in the float time, so I thought I could use RequestFrame instead of a task, but I was just wondering if it would be a good one method.

If it's literally only one time per map then I'd leave it as a set_task().

If it were called over and over again, would you change it, or would it not change your final judgment? Just out of curiosity.

If you could call it with an interval, set_task() would be fine. IIRC, it's expensive to create new tasks. Another option is to use a thinking entity.

Nice, thanks!
