A couple notes about MTASC - First off its pretty strict. Your code has to be pretty solid, items have to be casted properly, variables cannot be redefined in the same scope, etc, or MTASC bitches at your fierce. Its not a bad thing in the long run, but something you should think about preparing for if you are going to use it. I had to refactor an entire codebase which was quite large, and clean up the casting and variable definitions, in order for MTASC to work with it. IT was not fun. The code, by no means was incorrect or even sloppy. MTASC is just super super strict. I personally like that tho. Having said that, once I got it running through MTASC I went from a four and half minute compile time to 29 seconds. That made things so much easier :)
