would this script lag

[pine finch]

i have a destruction system that duplicates parts into smaller parts to make debree, the used part i just to check if its a normal part or a debree part, this is for lights to turn black. since i have prob ten thousands of these scripts would it lag

    script:FindFirstChild("used"):Destroy()
else
    script.Parent.Color = Color3.new(0,0,0)

    for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
        v:Destroy()
    end

end

If its thousands of scripts then yes it would lag.

I would recommend researching "Object Pooling".

[pine finch]

do they lag when they are inactive

or only when they fire

[placid walrus]

Probably only when they fire

[pine finch]

alr

they fire very rarely so it prob wont lag then

[placid walrus]

Well if its thousands then it will still lag.

[pine finch]

they only fire on player some interactions near players

[placid walrus]

Just research "Object Pooling". That might make the lag less. I can't really give you much info on that tho because I have never made such a system. But I know that its just instead of deleting and creating new parts you reuse them.

[pine finch]

i did and the system doesent operate in a way that this would be necessary in

[placid walrus]

But didn't you say you were creating thousands of objects?

[pine finch]

no i have thousands of objects already in a map with scripts

the duplicating is a part of a destruction system, the scripts fire if they are duplicated

if ur wondering about the destroy() part thats just to remove particles and light sources

[placid walrus]

Well you could reuse the duplicated parts or preload them.

[pine finch]

prob

i know what to do now but thx

[grave zealot]

you shouldn't be destroying scripts

[pine finch]

Why not? They are useless after the scipt runs

[grave zealot]

performance aside, just a terrible way to do things

you only need a single module script
