I have a doubt, wich is better, a loop for a task or setting a Flag B?

PHP Code:

for ( new Float:i=1.0; i<=999.0; i++ )
set_task( i, "fxLight", Client );  

// Or

set_task( 1.0, "fxLight", Client, _, _, "b", 1 ); 


thinking it will be infinite until i decide to remove it

1 repeating task is way better

so the task with the flag b?

and other thing:

PHP Code:

new g_variable[33] // 33 is the max array, for 32 players + 1 extra slot right?
                            // but if my server have 12 slots, shouldn't it be 13?

MAX_PLAYERS definition is not the same as MaxClients. MaxClients holds how many players the server can have at a particular time while MAX_PLAYERS is a constant that holds the maximum amount of players the server can have of clients.

but what I don't understand, you say that from 1 to 32 are the players, that is, 1 is the first to enter and so on, until reaching 32, but what if my server has a maximum capacity of 12 players? shouldn't it be minimized?

This is what Natshed just told you about. But since we cannot change the variable size mid-game, we create them with the maximum value of players ID avaliable by the game, which is 32 players. Stick with the g_variable[33], changing to [13] won't change anything regarding your server perfomance or memory whatsoever.
