Oh, good point. I had to read that 4 times to understand what you were saying lol .

I did a little testing with the 'total requirements #" at compilation with #define and const.

Arrays:
#define always results in a larger compiled plugin than const when the symbol\variable is used more than once. If used once, the size is identical.

Integers:
#define always results in a 4-byte smaller compiled plugin, regardless of the number of times the symbol\variable is used.

I also noticed the compiler will throw a warning if #define is used to define a variable with an incorrect type. I assumed otherwise in one of my posts above after reading a few discussions regarding this #define vs. const discussion on the web.

This will give a warning. set_user_gravity expects a float as the 2nd param.

PHP Code:

#define Test 55

set_user_gravity( id , Test );

What point are you attempting to make? Did you read the thread at all?

I don't suppose it would let you do #define float:55.0?

No, but that's not needed.

PHP Code:

#define Test 55.0

set_user_gravity( id , Test ); //Pre preprocessed
set_user_gravity( id , 55.0 ); //preprocessed

But, is more better use define?

What is better than better, or worst than better, that is the question.

It is really a subjective matter when you use the ambiguous word "better" lol .
