Hello fellow scripters!
I have made a pathfinding script that attacks players, it can handle around 65-70 (unironically) smart npcs with minimal-moderate ping/lag.
Optimizations I have made:
- Turned off npcs that are far from the player
- Updating npc to face the player only when they are in range to shoot/attack
- Skip npcs that cannot see the player
Goals:
I would like to perhaps improve the threshold of “smart” npcs that the server can handle.
Things I have heard that could help:
- Multithreading
Any tips would be appreciated.
Examples of games with large counts of “smart” npcs that can handle with minimal lag are Guts & Blackpowder, Notoriety, etc. (other examples you can prob think of)
