I have a script that constantly scans over a folder named game.Workspace.Blocks every 0.1 seconds.
while task.wait(0.1) do
Now, the thing is, game.Workspace.Blocks can contain user created data. This can include over 50k+ parts. And as such, it lags.
The script does things such as make new instances, delete old ones, etc…
Here’s a segment of it:
if game.Workspace.Blocks:FindFirstChild("Blocks") then
local a = game.Workspace.Blocks:FindFirstChild("Blocks")
if #a:GetChildren() ~= 0 then
for _, child in pairs(a:GetChildren()) do
child.Parent = game.Workspace.Blocks
end
else
a:Destroy()
end
end
local cache = game.Workspace.Blocks:GetChildren()
for _, child in pairs(cache) do
for _, child2 in ipairs(child:GetChildren()) do
if string.match(child2.Name, "CannonProperty_") then
if not child:FindFirstChild("CannonApplied_" .. string.sub(child2.Name, 16, 99999)) then
local side = string.sub(child2.Name, 16, 99999)
local bool = Instance.new("BoolValue")
bool.Parent = child
bool.Name = "CannonApplied_" .. side
coroutine.wrap(function()
while true do
if not child or not child:IsDescendantOf(game.Workspace.Blocks) then
break
end
if not child2 or not child2:IsDescendantOf(child) then
break
end
if child:FindFirstChild("CannonProperty_" .. side) then
if side == "Right" and child and child2 then
local leftDirection = Vector3.new(-1, 0, 0)
child.AssemblyLinearVelocity = leftDirection * -child2.Value
task.wait(0.1)
elseif side == "Left" and child and child2 then
local leftDirection = Vector3.new(-1, 0, 0)
child.AssemblyLinearVelocity = leftDirection * child2.Value
task.wait(0.1)
elseif side == "Front" and child and child2 then
local leftDirection = Vector3.new(0, 0, 1)
child.AssemblyLinearVelocity = leftDirection * -child2.Value
task.wait(0.1)
elseif side == "Back" and child and child2 then
local leftDirection = Vector3.new(0, 0, 1)
child.AssemblyLinearVelocity = leftDirection * child2.Value
task.wait(0.1)
elseif side == "Top" and child and child2 then
local leftDirection = Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
child.AssemblyLinearVelocity = leftDirection * child2.Value
task.wait(0.1)
elseif side == "Bottom" and child and child2 then
local leftDirection = Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
child.AssemblyLinearVelocity = leftDirection * -child2.Value
task.wait(0.1)
end
else
break
end
end
end)()

end

else

This still lags the game a lot, and this script is pretty important. How could I fix this?
