Need help with Huge lag cz of Parts

[true river]

Hello!
I have been creating a game without scripts and with physics only, but recently the machines started to break cz of the ammount of moving parts, is there anything i could do?

Was thinking about a script which makes you only see the parts in a 20-30 studs range.

[cunning heath]

Depends. What exactly do you mean by "physics only". What kind of "machines" are we talking about.

[true river]

like this

and 20 more like this

[cunning heath]

What exactly is that

[true river]

basically a man swinging sword while the zombie is spinning around and moving its arm

[cunning heath]

How do you even achieve that without scripting.

[true river]

i can like show you somehow

[cunning heath]

alr

[true river]

i jst dont know how

no idea if this helps

[cunning heath]

Oh. With HingeConstraints

[true river]

yeah

and there is too much of it

and ropes too

[cunning heath]

Does it need to be physic based like that tho? Because if not you could just use an animation. That would probably reduce the lag a lot

[true river]

I would like to keep it like that since i cant animate or script

i tried to write a script where the parts dissappear if they are 20 studs away

but the faces and the moving parts didnt dissapear

• the whole terrain was gone

and i believe the game still processed the parts cz some of the machines was broken

[cunning heath]

well. I am pretty sure that even if you make them dissappear that won't make the lag go away. You should try simulating more things on the client but that requires you to write scripts.

[true river]

so that means that some of the parts will run on my pc and not the server?

[cunning heath]

That would be more ideal. Because if the parts run on the server their information will have to be sent to every client. If they are run on the client then the server won't have to send information to every client.

[true river]

And do you have a tutorial to make this happen?

[livid glacier]

move them to replicatedstorage and back again

[cunning heath]

Not really. Its just a thing i learnt while dealing with Projectiles. Could you go more in depth about your game mechanics / game loop?

[livid glacier]

if it lags he should do more on the server

[cunning heath]

why

[livid glacier]

why would making MORE on the CLIENT reduce lag

[true river]

its just about showcasing my "animations" with only physics

[cunning heath]

because of NetworkBandwith

[true river]

but there is too much stuffs going on which breaks the machines

[cunning heath]

Do you need to run all of your machines at once tho?

Could perhaps make it so only some run when the player decides to view them

[livid glacier]

i tought he would get low fps

[cunning heath]

Well

[true river]

it would be good but idk how to script it

[livid glacier]

If its because of network just keep all machines in replicatedstorage and move them out via. code

[true river]

to like only see the parts which are inside the 20-30 studs area

[livid glacier]

then they will be rendered on every client individually

and do not try to sync with every client

[livid glacier]

use a client script in starterplayerscripts for this

[cunning heath]

wa. Could you check your Perfomance stats. So we can see what causes the lag

[cunning heath]

40 should be alright tho. And what about your fps

[true river]

its good in game

its not me who lags

but the machines

[livid glacier]

[true river]

i dont know how to move them out from there via scripts

[livid glacier]

1. Make a Folder in ReplicatedStorage
2. Move all your models (ur machines) in there
3. Run smth like this in game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayeerScripts.moveModels.luau (ur script is moveModels.luau, its just a local script)

-- Contents of moveModels.luau

local FOLDER = game.ReplicatedStorage.Folder --replace "Folder" with ur folder name

local function moveModels(folder)
    local models = folder:GetChildren()

    for _, model in models do
        model.Parent = game.Workspace
    end
end

moveModels(FOLDER)

[true river]

thank you i try it

[terse holly]

** You are now Level 2! **

[livid glacier]

show me ur script

[true river]

i dont have a script, i cant script 😭

[true river]

i just made a local script and put that into it

and ran the cmd..

[livid glacier]

well

you cant make parts only local without scripts

[gray creek]

Custom physics 🤣

[true river]

i'll try to find a youtube video about it

thanks tho for helping

[livid glacier]

np

[gusty radish]

WTF bloody hell is this sorcery?

[real oyster]

yo i made a lightbulb with no electricity

[true river]

lanterns

takes less time to create, with inefficiency

[real oyster]

i js realized thats a smooth brain emoji

i did not mean to diss you bro

But to make your game work context to how it works is needed

[true river]

Just basic movements without scripts

made too much

some of them freeze

[real oyster]

Without scripting your options are accepting the lag or nuking the # of parts you have

Load them locally if players don’t need to interact and load them only near the player
