   I have a event that will run a lot and I was wondering?
   Would it would be better to create a local variable every time the event is run or just store data into a global variable.

   Ehhh.. probably doesn't matter efficiency-wise. Local variables would make sense for readability, though.

   Local variables are preferred. As The_Doctor_123 said, one reason is readability. Another is that, when the code block of the event is finished running, the variable is destroyed; when using a global variable you must either null it or you will be holding onto unnecessary objects.
