Destroying tweens to reduce lag

[radiantstew0827 (radiantstew)]

Recently, from my friend I’ve heard that it is important to destroy unused tweens, as doing otherwise will cause the game to lag. However, I couldn’t find anything about destroying tweens to reduce lag from both of the official Roblox pages about it, so now I’m not sure if what I’ve been told was true or not. Can I get a conformation ion this? Thanks!

Example of tween being deleted after it’s use:

local TI = game:GetService("TweenService")
local e = TI:Create(workspace.Part,TweenInfo.new(5),{Color = Color3.new(1, 0, 0)})

e:Play()
e.Completed:Wait()
e:Destroy()

I’m pretty sure tweens when they’re not used get automaticly garbage collected. (Dont quote me on this, im not sure though.)

Does Roblox automatically garbage collect Tween Constructors?

Hey, that’s great to hear (I’ve been destroying it all manually just in case). But is there any form of evidence that we can dig up to that we can use when someone does disagree on it? This started as a myth and lead to arguments everywhere I go, I’d appreciate if there is any form of evidence. Logically, this would make sense considering Roblox is providing this tool for us developers who are too lazy to lerp (Internally the tween may be more optimized as well), it wouldn’t make sense to not …

As the previous post speculated, as Tweens are like any ordinary instance, they too are garbage collected by the garbage collector every garbage collection cycle if they are deemed as garbage. Therefore destroying Tweens after creating them is unnecessary, unless you’re creating lots of Tweens in a single loop (which you likely shouldn’t do anyway).
