[JASS] Which is faster?

[TwoLeft]

I'm currently writing a dummy system and I want it to have a sanity check, which of the options is faster and what happens with LoadBoolean() if the hashtable is empty at that spot?

Edit: How would HaveSavedBoolean() compare to those two?

Hashtable lookups are assumedly faster. IsUnitInGroup() has to enumerate over the entire Unit Group until it finds the desired unit and I imagine there's more to it than just that which would make it slower.

Go with either LoadBoolean() or HaveSavedBoolean(). I can't say which of these 2 is faster but it's probably such a small difference that you couldn't possibly tell the difference in-game.

Alright, thank you very much.

even thought it looks 'faster', it requires more memory and yet gives unsignificant (unless you're operating thousands of units) win with more complexity. If your project works on less than 50 units in that group it's simply doesn't worth it
