 All ''SetActor**PropertyName**'' functions first call [[zdoom>GetActorProperty]] and compare the new value of the property to the current one. If both values are the same, [[zdoom>SetActorProperty]] is **not** called. This automatically optimizes bandwidth use in Zandronum multiplayer.
+<code>
+function void SetActorHealth(int tid, int Health)
+{
+	if (GetActorProperty(tid, APROP_Health) != Health)
+		SetActorProperty(tid, APROP_Health, Health);
+}
+</code>
 Some actor properties are optimized by zandronum itself. However, the set of optimized actor properties depends on zandronum version, and not all actor properties are currently optimized (https://zandronum.com/tracker/view.php?id=1609).
+<note important>All string properties are compared in a case-insensitive way before being set. This means, for example, that ''%%SetActorNameTag(0, "Thing")%%'' will not call ''SetActorProperty'' if the **NameTag** property is already set to ''%%"thing"%%''.</note>
