Any solution for this lag?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So uh, i was trying to make a TD game (like TDS or TB) for me and my friends, but i have a problem with zombies… Sometimes they just freeze for half second, probably due to replicating lag (this problem doesnt apply when you press “Run” instead of playing the game)

Code

local Directory = script.Parent
local Model = Directory.Zombie
local Configurations = Directory:WaitForChild(“Config”)
local RStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)

local currentMap = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local mapPath = currentMap:WaitForChild(“Nodes”)

local bodyVel = Model.HumanoidRootPart.BodyVelocity
local bodyGyro = Model.HumanoidRootPart.BodyGyro

local enemySpawn = game.Workspace.Map.enemySpawn
Model.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = enemySpawn.CFrame

local target = 1
–bodyVel.Velocity = (mapPath[tostring(target)].Position-Model.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Unit*enemyConfig.Speed.Value
–bodyGyro.CFrame = mapPath[tostring(target)].CFrame

Model.HumanoidRootPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if target <= #mapPath:GetChildren() and Configurations.Health.Value > 0 then
if hit.Parent == mapPath or hit.name == “enemySpawn” then
bodyVel.Velocity = (mapPath[tostring(target)].Position-Model.HumanoidRootPart.Position).UnitConfigurations.Speed.Value
bodyGyro.CFrame = mapPath[tostring(target)].CFrame
local rootDist = (mapPath[tostring(target)].Position-Model.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude
if rootDist < Configurations.TurnDist.Value and target <= #mapPath:GetChildren() and Configurations.Health.Value > 0 then
target = target + 1
bodyVel.Velocity = (mapPath[tostring(target)].Position-Model.HumanoidRootPart.Position).UnitConfigurations.Speed.Value
bodyGyro.CFrame = mapPath[tostring(target)].CFrame
end
end
else
Directory:Destroy()
end
end)

so basically you can disables the NPCS climbing and things they dont use like if your NPC dosent climb disable climbing

Nothing changed at all, and zombies can’t collide with other zombies so i don’t think they could climb

Maybe instead of putting a script inside each zombie, you could use a Module script in server script service with coroutines so it’s Asynchronous.

The stutter is probably from Network ownership changing when it reaches the switch-off radius. Just set the zombies network ownership to server only.

Thanks, it worked! I never knew about this, i’m gonna search it on the dev hub, thanks again|

Make sure you also consider that Roblox servers tend to have high ping, especially when dealing with large amounts of parts. you script looked pretty clean though.

As a builder I would recommend grouping up as many parts as you can to reduce memory usage. This way players affected by this issue should have an easier time playing smoothly. Good luck!
