Premise :
Values are "fixed", they range from 0 to 1000 with increments of 100.
What will be the faster way for sphere to assign a bonus that depends on those fixed "numbers" ?

PHP Code:

// Method 1 : A simple math formula
local.bonus = (<value> / 100)  * 3


// Method 2 : Using defnames
[DEFNAME bonus_calc]
bonus_0    0
bonus_100 3
bonus_200 6
bonus_300 9
bonus_400 12
..
bonus_1000 30

local.bonus = <def.bonus_<value>> 

I think that the first seems faster Blush

Also i can't test it right now with the script profiler Shock

I think second is marginally faster, but anyways two boths methods are pretty fast, the difference is almost zero.

I´ll use the first only for simplicity.

Code:

[FUNCTION TESTSCPSPEED]

LOCAL.T=<SERV.RTICKS>

FOR I 0 <ARGV[0]>

    ...

ENDFOR

SYSMESSAGE @89,,1 Loop Time=<EVAL <SERV.RTICKS>-<LOCAL.T>>

RETURN 1

How much is reliable compared to the built in script profiler ?
