why does my ai lag sometimes?

[slender burrow]

like sometimes the ai lag/teleport whenever its walking towards a player

[obtuse elbow]

Probably something to do with Network Ownership

If the ownership is on the server, it will appear to be more jittery

[slender burrow]

What do you mean?

[obtuse elbow]

Roblox handles physics and stuff by allowing clients to get ownership of rigid bodys

This means that physics objects can be calculated on the client and sent to other clients much faster instead of the clients having full control over them

[slender burrow]

thing is when the owner of the game wasnt in the game it was still kinda laggy, not as much tho

[drowsy grove]

** You are now Level 3! **

[vivid vapor]

is there a way to fix it tho?

im the "ownership" lmao

[obtuse elbow]

No

Network Ownership

[vivid vapor]

whats that

[obtuse elbow]

Look it up and read the document about it

[slender burrow]

Could you send link perchance?

[obtuse elbow]

It's who has ownership of a rigid body

[vivid vapor]

ohh

[obtuse elbow]

bro google is free 😭

[vivid vapor]

like parent?

[slender burrow]

no no

[obtuse elbow]

No

[slender burrow]

I use firefox lite

[obtuse elbow]

lite

[slender burrow]

I get 2 searches a day

[vivid vapor]

here? https://create.roblox.com/docs/physics/network-ownership

[obtuse elbow]

well use one search on Network Ownership

[obtuse elbow]

yeah

[vivid vapor]

but is there a way to like fix the lagging

[obtuse elbow]

"the engine assigns network ownership of physically simulated BaseParts to either a client or server to divide the work of calculating physics."

[vivid vapor]

so

i set networkowner to not nil?

or what

[obtuse elbow]

Correct

[vivid vapor]

what do i change it to then

[obtuse elbow]

You would want to set it to the player who the npc is chasing

[vivid vapor]

workspace?

oh

wait hang on

let me try

[obtuse elbow]

That is so the player/client will have full control over the npc

While that can be unsafe

[vivid vapor]

unsafe from exploits?

[obtuse elbow]

It will result in a smoother movement

[obtuse elbow]

Yeah

But exploiting is pretty hard to do now

[vivid vapor]

yeah

[obtuse elbow]

Most exploits are primarily external

[vivid vapor]

is it possible to detect those

i dont want exploiters in my game

they dont use roblox guis right?

[obtuse elbow]

Some do

But internal ones get caught easily

[vivid vapor]

alr

let me try make a script rq and ill send it here and idk

u can check if its correctly written

[obtuse elbow]

It would be better to create sanity checks on the server to check if the player didn't kill or do anything weird to the npc

[vivid vapor]

here. check line 182-184

nvm error lol

@obtuse elbow

nvm i got it working

yay

Thanks for the help

[obtuse elbow]

Oh ok

[vivid vapor]

nvm

it doesnt really work

@obtuse elbow help please lol

[obtuse elbow]

Hold on

[slender burrow]

[slender burrow]

[obtuse elbow]

[slender burrow]

[obtuse elbow]

[drowsy grove]

** You are now Level 8! **

[vivid vapor]

[karmic gale]

HumanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil) I think idk

[slender burrow]

I didnt mean that the script was made by ai, I thought that you meant the script is a ai

[slender burrow]
