how much memory does this add if i have a modulescript for everygun, and a modulescript for every magazine/attachment
average lines in gun config: ~90
average lines in mag config: ~9;
average lines in attachment config: = 12;
should i reconsider how i store information? will this add up very quickly? bad practice?
use 1 giant config (unreadable though)? or is this fine?
Modulescripts are only loaded once, any table created in a modulescript is only created once as a result:
Programming in Lua : 8.1.
i meant this post from a game-design standpoint not a technical one. would this add up quickly and be a cause for increased memory usage/ are there any better alternatives
No, having the same number of modulescripts required in 1 gun each vs 10 guns each would use the same memory.
module scripts are used to store informations so techinally they will always use the same ammount of memory until you make something really big in only 1 script and even that way i really doubt it will change that allot in memory
what makes a game memory be high is the workspace stuff and models of tools/npcs/maps that you put in replicatedstorage
