The following is only important when a script does a CPU intensive task that is known or has been tested to affect the frame rate. This is generally reduced to situations that involve naive searching, sorting, or constant iteration through many references. Code that must have inefficient algorithms can best take advantage of the techniques here. Note that almost all code produced with the vanilla editor will already run well, regardless of programming technique. | |||

Use quest scripts if you can, or try to find ways to put as much of the script work into OnLoad, OnEquip, and ScriptEffectStart blocks as possible. | Avoid using gamemode scripts wherever possible.
