Need help optimizing remote

[twilit stirrup]

Im tryna lower kbs in my game
this is for client sided effects

this is my remote handler on the client side

here is the effects module

[signal bobcat]

Use buffers to make numbers faster or something

I think

Idk

[twilit stirrup]

here is what im passing

from the server

[signal bobcat]

Is it always these

Or does the data differ for different stuff

[twilit stirrup]

yeah

[signal bobcat]

Differ?

[twilit stirrup]

sometimes it can be a different effect

[signal bobcat]

And is the required data the same or different

[twilit stirrup]

no it changes too

[signal bobcat]

K

So what I think you should do

[twilit stirrup]

for example

this event

[signal bobcat]

Is turn them all into buffers

[twilit stirrup]

only takes Vector3

how do i turn an instance into a buffer

[signal bobcat]

And then uh

[signal bobcat]

Idk but bytenet does it so it should be possible

Not familiar with buffers personally

[twilit stirrup]

i see

[signal bobcat]

Anyways

[twilit stirrup]

yea me neither

[signal bobcat]

When u receive the data

Decrypt the buffer

Based on what effect it is

So you know what data there is

[twilit stirrup]

Wow look

so definitely gotta use a string instead of a number

[signal bobcat]

What

Oh yea

Numbers are 8 bytes minimum or something weren’t they

[twilit stirrup]

That’s a nice lil optimization

Gonna use strings instead

I rather not use a buffer yk

Bc I don’t want the overhead

It might not be worth it

I wonder if there’s other ways to do this client side effect dtuff

heck yea

[indigo hinge]

what overhead

[twilit stirrup]

computational

[indigo hinge]

buffers are fast

[twilit stirrup]

so i should always use them?

sorry thats a bad question

LMAO WHAT

[indigo hinge]

buffer is 2 + buffer len bytes

[twilit stirrup]

we out here

oh hell nawh
