Artificial Ping

[UndoneArrobs]

In the rare situation of causing lag to players, how would I go about creating artificial ping to only one player?

What do you mean “artificial?” Also, are you trying to make the player lag? Ping is a measurement of system connectivity, not a property decides whether or not you lag. If you want to make the player lag though, one of the best methods is using a large loop without a wait. If you want to crash their client you can clone a local script into their player from a server script. To crash them use this in the local script:

while true do
end

You can’t set the ping, but you can set the FPS of a player giving the appearance of low ping:

@alksjdfl

local heartbeat = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat

while heartbeat:Wait() do

local t0 = tick()

repeat until t0+1/30<tick()

end

1. How would that change the ping of 1 player?
2. How would someone even go and use that in game? That only works for local test environments in studio.
