Custom Character Questions
Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2015 1:09 pm
Hi everyone. I have a few questions about setting up custom characters that I was hoping you guys could clear up.
In the old books and magazines, most folks setup 52 and 56, and then CLR to protect the memory used by their characters. From what I've read on the forums, setting 52 is not necessary, and it is good practice to setup 55 as well as 56 (which I agree with). I don't like cargo cult, so I need a few things cleared up.
Why doesn't 52 need to be setup?
What exactly is the CLR command doing in this context? I know it frees up memory taken by variables, arrays, and strings, but what EXACTLY does it do?
