Resource Optimization

Code Efficiency

• Avoid tight loops (while true do ... Wait(0) end).
• Use Wait(500) or higher for non-critical loops.
• Cache frequently used values.

Event Handling

• Use local events for intra-resource communication.
• Avoid global events unless necessary.
• Remove unused event handlers on resource stop.

Memory Management

-- Clean up entities on resource stop
local entities = {}
AddEventHandler('onResourceStop', function(res)
    if res == GetCurrentResourceName() then
        for _, ent in ipairs(entities) do
            if DoesEntityExist(ent) then DeleteEntity(ent) end
        end
    end
end)

File Structure

• Organize code into client/, server/, shared/.
• Use fxmanifest.lua to declare dependencies and files.

NUI

• Only load NUI when needed.
• Unload/close NUI when not in use.

Profiling

• Use resmon to monitor resource usage.
• Use profiler for advanced analysis.

Testing

• Test resources on a clean server.
• Check for memory leaks and CPU spikes.
