Well guys I have silly question to ask about orpheu as I started playing with it nd i know the basics of orpheu concept but still some doubts are there .

Well suppose I want to block "chooseteam" command.
It can be done in 2 ways as following :

1. register_clcmd()

PHP Code:

register_clcmd( "chooseteam", "Hook_chooseteam")

public Hook_chooseteam(id)
     return PLUGIN_HANDLED 


2. Orpheu

PHP Code:

public plugin_init()
    OrpheuRegisterHook( OrpheuGetFunction("HandleMenu_ChooseTeam"), "HandleMenuTeam" )

public HandleMenuTeam(id, menu_choose)
    return OrpheuSupercede 


PHP Code:

{
    "name"      : "HandleMenu_ChooseTeam",
    "library"   : "mod",
    "arguments" :
    [
        {
            "type"  : "CBasePlayer *"
        },
        {
            "type"  : "int"
        }
    ],
    "identifiers":
    [
        {
            "os"    : "windows",
            "mod"   : "cstrike",
            "value" : [0x83,0xEC,"*",0x8B,0x0D,"*","*","*","*",0x53,0x55,0x56,0x8B,0x74,0x24]
        },
        {
            "os"    : "linux",
            "mod"   : "cstrike",
            "value" : "_Z21HandleMenu_ChooseTeamP11CBasePlayeri"
        }
    ]
} 


My question is which of the 2 ways will be faster?
As my prediction is that orpheu will be faster as it is directly hooking the function but still if any1 can guide me please.

i dont know why you would use orpheu for such a simple task...

You do not have to use orpheu just for the sake of using it. If the outcome is exactly the same with both, then do what is simpler..in this case with register_clcmd(). This also eliminates the dependency of a user having to install the orpheu library file. In some cases you have to use orpheu because it can do magical things that other hooks can't.

Well i was just experimenting but was in doubt that wether orpheu works faster than the normal way or not .
Thanks
