Custom StreamingEnabled?

[OiiTaru]

I’m working on a large Space - based game and ideally I’m hoping to implement Planet Surfaces and Atmosphere in real-time.
(( This would mean the Player is able to land on them without “Teleporting to the Planet” to load it. ))

However, how could I go about doing this? - I’ve seen some custom Streaming Services suches as:

Custom Streaming System

I’m trying to reduce memory usage in my game, and with the way it’s structured it parents planets in and out of the workspace, parenting them to a folder in replicated storage when not in use. This works fine for visuals, but I’d like to be able to destroy the planets that aren’t being used and load them back from the server when the player goes to the planet to reduce memory usage. StreamingEnabled wouldn’t work, just because I don’t want it loading a planet whenever the player flies close to i…

CullingService - Custom Client Sided Culling/Streaming Module

[image] Hi there and happy middle of the summer! CullingService (CS) is a tool that I developed for my current project. It’s a configurable approach to content streaming that lets developers control, specifically, what is and isn’t streamed in their experience. I realized that there wasn’t anything like it on the DevForum and decided to open-source it for large scale use. Feel free to use it in your games or as a learning resource. Check out the GitHub page to view the source code (in Rojo…

I’m just wondering what may potentially be more beneficial? - To be honest, I’m not looking to use Universes.

I want to have more control over what is Streamed than what ROBLOX currently offers.

Any of those streaming services would work. I ended up deciding to use a different place for each planetary system, similar to spacescape.

There are compromises that must be made no matter what, you can either have a larger amount of detailed planets and need to teleport, or you can have less planets, systems and detail but a more seamless experience. A large part of game design is about where you want to put the most effort and computing time into.

Keep in mind, servers will lag the more instances you have on them, so having universes will help a lot. I haven’t fully gotten the hang of teleportation and universes, but keeping scripts in one location will help a LOT so you can copy them over between games and make and copy changes easier. Making things more modular and “plug and play” will also help.
