A short question for a short programming advice. Due to the event model of the SDK it is very difficult to use very few (or none) global variables. Because many variables are used in more then one function, or because of efficiency reasons I do some preparation in the OnBoot() function and later on in the OnUpdate() I manipulate the loop of X-Plane with the same variables. I have learned (myself) to prevent global variables as much as possible. In the documentation of LUA I read that local variables are faster dan global variables. So I am considering to assign the global variables first to local variables and then use it in the different functions. What is the good programming strategy in Gizmo? ... or do i have to accept global variables as part of the game. Is assigning globals to locals more efficient thant using globals directly?
