Spell indicator effect help

[cold topaz]

Hello does anyone know how to optimally do this effect on roblox?
So basically I made my own system to get player's mouse and stuff but my current system uses pivot on range to set position of the range but it is extremely expensive and having atleast 5 player with range at once will cause dip in performance from ~120 -> ~30 FPS but I cant think of any better solution that would be easy to expanded on and performant.

VVV the effect im trying to achieve

This is the current system working fine

[cold topaz]

It uses pivot to get and set position which i know is the the best thing to do

Especially when its doing in a heartbeat for other player and stepped for localplayer

[vast ginkgo]

make it replicate to everyone else in 30 fps while for you its 120 fps, and just place it whereever u want and just change the pos

[cold topaz]

It is doing that

It is still lagging crazy

[vast ginkgo]

look

for the client you move it

at 120 fps

but

[cold topaz]

Yeah

[vast ginkgo]

when you fire the event to the other clients

[cold topaz]

I changed to a while loop with 1/120 and 1/60

[vast ginkgo]

send it with a 30 fps

rate

[cold topaz]

Data sending isnt really a problem

Its the replication

[vast ginkgo]

im using a nice framework that allows my system to work

lemme try

to show a code snippet

here

dont copy 1 for 1

because i made this work for me specificly

also

forgot to mention

u can just tween the last position

to the new position

while keeping the 30 fps

because if you tween it on client

its smooth as butter

and you dont have to fire stuff too much

[vast ginkgo]

i forgot that i changed it.. but the new one is better, atleast looks much smoother

@cold topaz

dont mind the delaytoforward

its a server delay optimization thingy

in conclusion

:

fire the cframe 1/30 and on reciever client make it twin to the new cframe from the old one

I hope ts helps

I got an exam in 5 min

So

I won't be able to respond any further

[cold topaz]

I decided to make a new range welder for the range so the client only have to modify the position and orientaton instead of getpivot and pivotto

And the performance issue is gone

[glass nacelle]

I can’t tell if the lag is because of your pc or because of bad optimization I’m gonna go for the latter one

[dark obsidian]

is it a while loop

also don't tackle this as a network problem

first worry if moving multipl eof these is the issue

you will definitely have to cache the object

and I would batch the frame info aswell

also send the id for spell indicator and progress of it instead of sending huge data

client should have the code to recreate it from data

and welds are the most performant ways

if you want to align with character automatically

weld from client tho

like the observing client

[vast ginkgo]

best way is just to tween from p1 to p2 using tweenservice, and just sending the new point

since you can already see the current point when you spawn in the indicator

i have it on 30fps

sending data

but it tweens for everyone localy
