About the delay: it is correct that you should have delays in your loops, especially "infinite" loops (eg with alive x as condition), as slower computers will CTD without that delay. Also you should think about the length of the delay if you're addon-scripting, because you have to face the fact that your scripts might run 20 times at once. I think it's an interesting fact here, that @ and triggers check with .5 delays. | raedor: From what I know they're not case sensitive, I've been using them for years without problems.

Ok......lets get this clear.
I have always thought that a loop, in most cases, MUST have a delay of some sort, otherwise the loop loops so fast that you cannot interrupt it and end up having to reboot or quit the game.
Lets have the nitty gritty here.
Also, are Label names case sensitive or not, give reasons , evidence.........etc.

Delay in a loop
While it is not required to include delay in a loop, loop without a delay can cause the script to slow down the game a lot, as the loop will be executed many times before game engine interruprts the script.
Unless you really want the loop to execute multiple times during a frame, you should include a small delay.
