RunService Question

[gray mauve]

Is runService dependent on local framerate if you are running it on a local script? Or in general?

[next osprey]

Each runservice event is called once per frame

The difference between things like .Heartbeat and .RenderStepped is when durring the frame they are called

[gray mauve]

this don't answer my question

[subtle owl]

I mean there are not different framerate, your framerate is your framerate

wdym in general

[gray mauve]

i meant in a server script

[subtle owl]

yeah same

it runs it owns machine

[next osprey]

Run service events on the server will be caled once every frame on the server

It is unrelated to the client framerate

[subtle owl]

also on the server I think only Heartbeat can be used

[gray mauve]

if the server is running at 60fps
and a player is running at 30fps

and im running a server script that does something

[subtle owl]

🤔

[gray mauve]

would the player be lagging behind because their fps is half of the servers

[subtle owl]

yes?

[next osprey]

Yes

Elaborate on what you mean by that

[subtle owl]

I mean if server is 60fps but my client is 10fps Im going to be laggy asf

[gray mauve]

lets say the server is trying to add velocity to an object

if im a player running at 30fps

would the velocity added be half of what the server is trying to add

[next osprey]

no

[gray mauve]

lets say its on a local script

it would be half of the intended force

[subtle owl]

Im pretty sure they are handled with delta time so no

[next osprey]

If your applying a fixed impulse every frame, then yes. The solution to this is to multiply the force by the delta time (time between frames) to normalize the force over time

Wonderful video on the topic

ok i understand
