benefits of Debris:AddItem?

[hardy fjord]

are there any benefits of using Debris:AddItem(delay, instance) over doing something like

task.spawn(delay, function(): ()
    instance:Destroy()
end)

it seems very very pointless

[tropic junco]

slow

dont use it

[oblique kestrel]

debris:additem is handled by roblox in the c backend

it's more optimized

and added to an internal queue

[urban gyro]

cleaner code

[hardy fjord]

ah

thanks

[oblique kestrel]

another thing to note

it doesn't spawn any new threads

it uses timestamps within the queue and periodically checks the queue for expired objects

so it doesn't take as many resources as a thread would (i.e. task.spawn, task.delay)

[wanton oak]

just use task.delay debris is deprecated

[tropic junco]

if i remember task.delay is more than 10x faster than debris

[oblique kestrel]

debris is not deprecated and again, it's directly talking with the engine

[oblique kestrel]

false, task.delay spawns a luau virtual thread, whereas debris:additem relies on roblox engine level systems

[oblique kestrel]

idk where you heard that it was deprecated 💔💔

[native osprey]

debris starts removing items before their destruction delay is up

if you overload it

[oblique kestrel]

1000 items

max

do you know how hard it is to reach that limit

[native osprey]

wym

its so easy

[oblique kestrel]

then you're doing something wrong

😔

[native osprey]

also its more like hundreds

[oblique kestrel]

nope

[native osprey]

not a thousand

[oblique kestrel]

nope

it's hardcoded 1000

please refer to the documentation

if you're going to debate this

[native osprey]

b

well its still slop 🤑

[urban gyro]

and debri is just cooler

[wanton oak]

Idk someone said that on devforum 2 yrs ago lol

but i don't need a service to just delay the instance delete

task.delay is faster to use and there will be no noticable difference with debris

[oblique kestrel]

Again, it is not faster, and there is an incredibly noticeable difference in performance between debris and task, since virtual threads are extremely expensive.

This is the last time I’m commenting on this mindless debate

[wanton oak]

How are vts "extremely expensive" ? They're not ??
