Better way of scripting a conveyor belt?

[Lukiraq (borge)]

Hi! Some time ago I made some conveyor belts for my game CaseOh’s Basics. I just want to ask a question. Is there a better way of doing this? Like a way to cause less lag or is there none?

Here is the script:

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if script.Parent.On.Value==false then
		script.Parent.Beam.TextureSpeed=0.1
script.Parent.Velocity = script.Parent.CFrame.lookVector *8 -- Multiplys the bricks velocity by 15, which causes it to move bricks that land on it.
	else
	-- here we do the same thing but backwards.
		script.Parent.Beam.TextureSpeed=-0.1
		script.Parent.Velocity = script.Parent.CFrame.lookVector *-8
	end
end)

can’t you just set the part’s AssemblyLinearVelocity to a value of choice, and then anchor the part? since the assembly is technically moving, but anchored it would move any object touching it instead.

while true do 
script.Parent.Velocity = script.Parent.CFrame.lookVector *5
wait(0.1)
end

I use that, I have no other ideas how to cause less lag.

You don’t need to set it in a loop.
Just set it once, and then detect for the change in the direction, and only set it again, when the direction switch is changed.

try this, obviously you will have to adjust it for your game because it’s not exact

local conveyor = script.Parent
conveyor.Velocity = conveyor.CFrame:vectorToWorldSpace(Vector3.new(0, 0, -conveyor.Configuration.Speed.Value))
