How do I move a player without lag

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi. I am making a platformer game and created an orb that boosts the player vertically on touch. Here is my script.

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local cooldown = false
function onTouched(part)
	local h = part.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if h ~= nil then
		if cooldown == false then
		RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()
			h.Parent.PrimaryPart.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 80, 0)
			script.Parent.Boost:Play()
			cooldown = true
			wait(.3)
			cooldown = false
		else
		end
	end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

This is placed inside of a part. It works, however since it’s server sided players with poorer connections experience a delay before being boosted or are boosted far higher than intended. I am not sure how to make this local. Any help would be appreciated!

If you want to handle the touched events locally then you could make a folder with all the boost orbs, and then put something like this in a LocalScript inside of StarterPlayerScripts:

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local Orbs = workspace:WaitForChild'Orbs' -- Wait for the folder that has all the boost Orbs

local CoolDown = false
local function OnTouched(Orb, Touched)
	local Humanoid = Touched.Parent:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if Humanoid ~= nil then
		if CoolDown == false then
			Humanoid.Parent.PrimaryPart.Velocity = Vector3.new(0, 80, 0)
			Orb.Boost:Play()
			CoolDown = true
			wait(0.3)
			CoolDown = false
		end
	end
end

-- Connect the .Touched event to all the boost Orbs in the orb folder
for i, Orb in pairs(Orbs:GetChildren()) do
	Orb.Touched:Connect(function(Part)
		OnTouched(Orb, Part)
	end)
end
