Code Styling Debate: DOs and DON'Ts

[Skyld]

I always include the relevant prefix (i.e. temp or player prefix; even player.clientr.foo) etc, because that way there is no ambiguity. It is good practice to do that, not least because people do not have to guess as much when reading your code, but it prevents confusion between scopes (i.e. is your temp variable actually a global variable in some unusual circumstances?). It forces you to think about the scope you are dealing with, leaving less chance of conflicts occurring.

Same for me aswell as the this. prefix for functions.

It would however be interesting to know if this has any bearing on script time, albeit the difference would probably be negligible.
On a similar note I compared script time between the use of the this. or player. prefix in classes joined to the player, if my results were accurate then it was always faster using this. as opposed to player. with variables and functions Serverside, however Clientside only with variables was the use of the this. prefix faster. And yes the difference was tiny.
