Are there any negative side effects to setting hooks this way?

[NiLSPACE]

That's a neat way of storing the hooks, but I'd probably use something like this instead:

Code:

local hooks = {
    [cPluginManager.HOOK_TICK] = function(TimeDelta)
    end
}


function Initialize(Plugin)
    Plugin:SetName("SomeCoolPlugin")
    Plugin:SetVersion(1)
    if hooks then
        for hook, callback in pairs(hooks) do
            cPluginManager:AddHook(hook, callback)
        end
    end
    
    return true;
end
