Alternative to wait()?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey, I’m currently writing a script to insert in a model into my workspace from my replicated storage.

For the sake of simplification, say I have an array of 1000 baseparts that I am inserting into my workspace one by one. This ends up lagging the server so I decided to add a “wait()” inside the array’s insertion loop. This did solve the lag dilemma but it takes a ridiculous amount of time to load the parts in.

A solution I’ve come up with is to “wait()” on a 50 part insertion increment but I was wondering if there was a more efficient way to “load” all the parts.

Any advice is helpful, thanks.

Try rendering it on the client using RenderStepped? An obvious issue is it won’t replicate over to other clients nor the server. Possibly look into PartCache. I can’t think of a way getting around the wait times without having to sacrifice performance.

If you wanna try, I haven’t tested this out yet, but try checking if there are clones of various parts and only load 1 part in and clone that part to other clone’s location.

No lag with optimal loading times. Thank you very much!
