There are some advantages in using global variables over the string and key constants, it's faster and uses less bytecode when it is longer then 3 characters and it used more then twice but it uses more bytecode when it is shorter then 3 characters or it used once. This is easily demonstrated by running the scripts in Figure 2.
Pros
- Faster
- Uses less bytecode when it is longer then 3 characters and it used more then twice.
Cons
- Uses more bytecode when it is shorter then 3 characters or it used once.
| Constant | Global |

<lsl> dead(){ key a = NULL_KEY; key b = NULL_KEY; key c = NULL_KEY; key d = NULL_KEY; } default { state_entry() {
llOwnerSay(llGetFreeMemory());
}
}</lsl> |
<lsl>key null_key = NULL_KEY; dead(){ key a = null_key; key b = null_key; key c = null_key; key d = null_key; } default { state_entry() {
