why do you localize Convar:GetBool and then call it each frame

cant you just use https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/cvars.AddChangeCallback

example

local enabled = CreateConVar( "rocketjumps_enabled", 1, { FCVAR_ARCHIVE }, "Enables rocket jumping (1/0).", 0 ):GetBool()
cvars.AddChangeCallback( "rocketjumps_enabled", function( _, _, val )
    enabled = tobool( val )
end)

Zero cost. Why not?

[coral dew]

it does cost

its a c call

and ofc a func call etc

Other than that, it's pretty solid and definitely worth it for entity heavy servers too

[coral dew]

it doesnt seem to prevent networking though but thats understandable

ill try it out sometime

Doesn't seem to hold up under extreme circumstances.
Was some subtle entity flickering, understandably doesn't work that well with special entities like barnacles, didn't handle npcs dying that well, and it conflicted with entities that SetNoDraw themselves.

Here's the build i saw all those issues on.

Impressively small 👍

I saw someone else on the workshop also say it didn't handle multiple entities well. I have an entity-heavy server so I'll give this a try and see how well it works.

I did some testing. There are some minor glitches here and there, but the largest thing I noticed is this small delay in rendering everything when it's time for them to show up. I also did not see any FPS increase, but then again that might only be noticeable when thousands of props are in view, I suppose.

Made some improvements

[brisk sable]

Does this still work? It uses the registery @bleak tundra

[kindred falcon]

Should be a quick update to fix

[bleak tundra]

Yes, it works.
