How can I detect a player's ping, show it in a text label, and then based on that show a GUI that the player is lagging?

[natty_boppin]

So I’m trying to make a text label show the player’s ping, and then if it’s not good (I don’t know the correct word for this) show a GUI that says that the connection is poor based on the player’s ping but I don’t know how I would do this and if it’s even possible

Process to determine a players ping:
Create a RemoteFunction
Create an event that returns true, in a client local script, when invoked by server

Periodically perform the following (server-sided):
For each player, store the tick() in a local variable just before invoking the RemoteFunction to that player, then compare the tick() before and after to have the difference in time, aka the ping time.

Then it’s up to you what you do with this number. (E.g. A player with consistent 500+ ping probably won’t have a great time, but that’s just a random number I’ve pulled)

Note: You probably want wrap this function in a coroutine for each player called, otherwise it will have to yield for each player sequentially, which could take a while.

PlayerPing - Get client ping times on the Server

PingTimes by boatbomber I needed ping times to try and negate the impact of network delay in a game I was working on, so I wrote a module that gets it! Usage: My goal was to make it as simple and fool-proof as possible to use. Simply require the module from both Client and Server. (Note: The client’s require will return nil, but it’s needed to initialize the client ping responder.) To get the ping time of a player, you simply index the module with that Player. This can only be done on the…
