Fireball Stutter

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve made a fireball script following a guide but after using it for a little bit it starts to freeze mid way then it’ll continue. Not too sure what to do I’ve been messing around with it but I can’t get it to fix.

Here’s the code

local rp = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local fireball = rp:WaitForChild("Fireball")
local debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local meshes = script.Parent.Parent.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Meshes")


fireball.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	local char = Player.Character
	local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local humrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	

	
	local fireballmain = meshes:WaitForChild("FireballMain"):Clone()
	fireballmain.CFrame = humrp.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-3)
	fireballmain.Parent = workspace
	
	local fireballout = meshes:WaitForChild("FireballOut"):Clone()
	fireballout.CFrame = fireballmain.CFrame
	fireballout.Parent = workspace
	
	local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
	weld.Parent = fireballmain
	weld.Part0 = fireballout
	weld.Part1 = fireballmain

	
	debris:AddItem(fireballmain, 2)
	debris:AddItem(fireballout, 2)

	
	
		
	local vel = Instance.new("BodyVelocity",fireballmain)
	vel.MaxForce = Vector3.new(5000,5000,5000) * 3000
	vel.Velocity = humrp.CFrame.lookVector * 100
	
	
end)

Just out of curiosity, try changing this

local vel = Instance.new("BodyVelocity",fireballmain)
	vel.MaxForce = Vector3.new(5000,5000,5000) * 3000
	vel.Velocity = humrp.CFrame.lookVector * 100

To this

local vel = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	vel.MaxForce = Vector3.new(5000,5000,5000) * 3000
	vel.Velocity = humrp.CFrame.lookVector * 100
	vel.Parent = fireballmain

Parenting an instance before defining/changing it’s properties is bad practice because A) its inefficient and B) can, in some cases, cause stuttering as seen above

Edit: Also change

local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
	weld.Parent = fireballmain
	weld.Part0 = fireballout
	weld.Part1 = fireballmain

to

local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
	weld.Part0 = fireballout
	weld.Part1 = fireballmain
	weld.Parent = fireballmain

Hey thanks for the reply I’ve changed all of the problem with parenting but it still seems to be doing it.

Try setting the network owner

Network Ownership (roblox.com)

Usually works for things like this.

Good point. @Ocuay, try this:

local rp = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local fireball = rp:WaitForChild("Fireball")
local debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local meshes = script.Parent.Parent.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Meshes")


fireball.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player)
	local char = Player.Character
	local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	local humrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
	local fireballmain = meshes:Clone()
	fireballmain.CFrame = humrp.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,-3)

	local fireballout = meshes:WaitForChild("FireballOut"):Clone()
	fireballout.CFrame = fireballmain.CFrame
	fireballout.Parent = workspace

	local weld = Instance.new("WeldConstraint")
	weld.Parent = fireballmain
	weld.Part0 = fireballout
	weld.Part1 = fireballmain


	debris:AddItem(fireballmain, 2)
	debris:AddItem(fireballout, 2)

	local vel = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	vel.MaxForce = Vector3.new(5000,5000,5000) * 3000
	vel.Velocity = humrp.CFrame.lookVector * 100
	
	fireballmain.Parent = workspace
	fireballout.Parent = workspace
	
	vel.Parent = fireballmain
	
	fireballmain:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
	fireballout:SetNetworkOwner(nil)

end)
