Destroying NPC causes lag spike

I have several NPCs, when I destroy the first one it causes a lag spike, but the rest are fine. If I remove the humanoid and just have an empty rig, it doesn’t cause that weird lag spike. But for my animations to work, I require the humanoid. Is there any work around this?

SellPart.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
	local char = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
	if not char then return end

	local HumanoidRootPart = char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	if not HumanoidRootPart then return end

	local WeldNPC = HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("WeldNPC")
	if not WeldNPC then return end

	for _, v in pairs(game.Workspace.Noobs:GetChildren()) do
		local StatsFolder = v:FindFirstChild("Stats")
		if StatsFolder then
			local BeingCarried = StatsFolder:FindFirstChild("BeingCarried")
			local WhoIsCarrying = StatsFolder:FindFirstChild("WhoIsCarrying")
			if WhoIsCarrying and BeingCarried and WhoIsCarrying.Value == player.Name and BeingCarried.Value == true then
				v:Destroy()
				WeldNPC:Destroy()
				break -- Stop loop after finding the NPC
			end
		end
	end
end)

Use the microprofiler to check exactly what’s causing the lag spike.

Bumping this topic! I’ve been experiencing this issue aswell. The first NPC to be deleted will cause a huge lag spike. I was wondering if @Virvek has found a solution to this issue or someone else who could find this topic. It seems that it’s a roblox bug but I can’t confirm this..

It’s a studio bug I’ve had it happen as well before, happens with basically any Instance you destroy first

You can use an AnimationController, you can run animations via it on non humanoid rigs.
