conditions vs formulas.

I'm making a game in which you can choose difficulty, and I'm wondering, in terms of efficiency and performance, is it better for construct 2 to be told exactly what to do or having it calculate what to do?

For instance; I could tell the program that a bullet does 1 dmg when on hard, 2 when on normal and 3 when on easy.

or i could tell him to just set the damage of the bullet to "1*difficulty"

I already made the whole difficulty system with a vast amount of calculations for everything related to it. But which option is better?

In terms of performance, don't waste your time.

In terms of how manageable your events will be, 1 * difficulty is probably shorter and easier to handle for you.

sir yes sir =)

Yeah, formulas. Otherwise you'd have a mess of sub events that would have to be modified by hand one by one.
