Best way to make performance friendly enemies? (In large numbers)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m making a game where you shoot the enemies, these usually come in hordes on tens.
However, they seem to cause a bunch of server lag, which made me scratch my head for a couple days.

The way the system works is:
-In a single script, use a while loop (0.2 seconds) and use for i, v loop with CollectionService:GetTagged to get all the tagged humanoids.
-Check if the tag is the “Enemy” tag.
if the checks are met, do the following:
-Find a player X studs away from the enemy
-If the player is found, fire a bullet

If anyone has a suggestion on how to improve the code, please let me know

You can try consulting this post.

Pretty much the server just sees the NPCS as singular parts, instead of objects and leaves the client to render all the details.

This looks interesting, although it might solve my problem, I was hoping to get a more code oriented solution
