I have a small script with a loop (infinite).
It just checks the health of the actor and ends the game.
It is some thing like this:
while(1)
{
if the actor's health is something
then the game is over
}
My question:
What is the difference in game performace in the following 2 cases?
Case 1: I attach/detach this script when ever I need it
Case 2: I attach this in game script so it is always running

Best regards,
Spyros

It depends on how much stuff the script does in each iteration and how often (i.e. what's the Sleep value in the loop). Try to keep the sleep value as high as possible.
If you need to check the health most of the time, keep the script running. If you only need it from time to time (like e.g. only in some scenes), it may be more effecient to kill the script if it's not needed.

Mnemonic, thanks for the advise,
I don't really need it to run (most of the time), so I will attach/detach when ever needed.
I just wanted to know if there is big difference.

Best regards,
