Hey guys,

I just want to know the functions "exist" (like dbObjectExist) execution worst-case time.

'cause i would use a variable to store the interval of object currently being used and delete only these objects but i found no need for this variable since i got the exist function, so i would just delete by intervals everytime i load a specific entity in the game.

i would do something like

enum objectScopes
{
globalBegin = 0,
mainCharacter = globalBegin
gloabalMiscellaneousBegin,
globalMiscellaneousEnd = 9,
globalEnd = miscellaneousEnd,
sceneStart = 10
sceneMapChangeSpheresBegin = sceneVariablesStart,
sceneMapChangeSpheresEnd = 14,
sceneModelBegin = 15,
sceneModelEnd = 49,
sceneEnd
}

And for exemple, when deleting a whole scene, delete from it's start to it's end even if some of the reserved id's i gave were not used.
But this would be slower than keeping a variable in the current scene telling me the offset of the objects used in the scene.

I speak broken english so i truly don't know if i made myself clear, but that's it XD

thanks a bunch!

The function itself is very quick, but you will be carrying out a lot of checks that are unnecessary.

That's not really too much of a problem when you are at the end of the scene and deleting the objects, but try to avoid doing that when in the middle of your game loop.
