why don't you just put whatever you want replicated into ReplicatedStorage so the localscript can access it directly

[raven mural]

replicatedstorage replicates to all clients, this is isolated replication

[fast pasture]

why would you want isolated replication

[raven mural]

Like if you had a game that had so many entities that you'd more efficiently use network bandwidth by only replicating events relevant to players in a particular area

[fast pasture]

you're telling me that replicating stuff even if it's in the storage container takes enough bandwith that it's actually noticeable?

[raven mural]

definitely depends on the scale of the project

this is micro optimization territory

[fast pasture]

and you've benchmarked this?

You don't need to benchmark it, logically it follows that isolating replication for entities between 2 players in a small chunk would be more efficient if it was a 20 player server. That's just a given

[fast pasture]

sure it's logical to say it's less, but whether the difference is negligible or not would take benchmarking
