I can't say for sure for PHP since it is interpreted, but with compiled languages a function call uses up quite a bit more resources than pretty much anything you do inline (plus, computers handle looping no problem at all). It is not noticeable until you get into doing hundreds or thousands within very short periods of time, but if this does hold true in PHP, it is better to do these small optimization tasks up front rather than when problems crop up.hallsofvallhalla wrote:that is actually the way I do it Falken.

Would save alot of power.

I wouldn't think so. At least not enough to affect anything. Depending how you run your battle the functions would use less because they can be run at anytime and a loop would have to be written over and over. I am not going to lie, I really don't know the answer to that but I would assume it wouldn't be enough to even see or feel the difference.
