Inputs are delayed?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I had a battlegrounds combat game using weapons. And when activating the tool, the slashing animation is delayed up to 1 seconds in servers with 4+ people. How do i fix this?

Here’s the serverscript (child of the weapon)

local Tool = script.Parent
Tool.Enabled = true

local Handle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")

local Sounds = {
	Hit = Handle:WaitForChild("Hit"),
	Swing = Handle:WaitForChild("Swing")
}

local Animations = {}

local comboAnim = 1
local hittable = false

local Services = {
	Players = (game:FindService("Players") or game:GetService("Players")),
	Debris = (game:FindService("Debris") or game:GetService("Debris")),
}

local events = {}

local Player,Character,Humanoid


function IsTeamMate(Player1, Player2)
	return (Player1 and Player2 and not Player1.Neutral and not Player2.Neutral and Player1.TeamColor == Player2.TeamColor)
end

function TagHumanoid(humanoid, player)
	local Creator_Tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
	Creator_Tag.Name = "creator"
	Creator_Tag.Value = player
	Creator_Tag.Parent = humanoid
	Services.Debris:AddItem(Creator_Tag, 7.5)
end

function UntagHumanoid(humanoid)
	for i, v in pairs(humanoid:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("ObjectValue") and v.Name == "creator" then
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
end

function IsInTable(Table,Value)
	for _,v in pairs(Table) do
		if v == Value then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end

local HitHumanoids = {}
function Activated()
	if not Tool.Enabled or not Humanoid or Humanoid.Health <= 0 then return end
	Tool.Enabled = false
	delay(script.Parent.Cooldown.Value,function()
		HitHumanoids = {}
		Tool.Enabled = true
	end)
	Sounds.Swing.PlaybackSpeed = math.random()*(1.3-0.7) + 0.7
	Sounds.Swing:Play()
	if comboAnim == 1 then
		comboAnim = 2
		Animations.Chop1:Play()
		
		delay(.1, function()
			script.Parent.Blade.Trail.Enabled = true
		end)
		hittable = true
		Animations.Chop1.Stopped:Wait()
		hittable = false
		script.Parent.Blade.Trail.Enabled = false
	else
		comboAnim = 1
		Animations.Chop2:Play()

end

function Touched(hit)

	local hum,ff = hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid"),hit.Parent:FindFirstChildOfClass("ForceField")
	if not hum or hum.Health <= 0 or ff or IsTeamMate(Services.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hum.Parent),Player) or IsInTable(HitHumanoids,hum) then return end
	
	HitHumanoids[#HitHumanoids+1]=hum
	UntagHumanoid(hum)
	TagHumanoid(hum,Character)
	hum:TakeDamage(Tool.Damage.Value)
	Sounds.Hit.PlaybackSpeed = math.random()*(1.3-0.7) + 0.7
	Sounds.Hit:Play()

	local delta = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector

	local Velocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", hum.Parent.Head)
	Velocity.P = 1000
	Velocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)
	Velocity.Velocity = delta.unit * script.Parent.Knockback.Value

	Velocity.Velocity = Velocity.Velocity + Vector3.new(0,10,0)

	script.Parent.Cooldown.Value -= 0.2
	delay(script.Parent.Cooldown.Value + 0.1, function()

This is a server script, and the animations are delayed. I suggest applying the animations and VFX on the client using Remote Events.

#3 
Animations.Chop2.Stopped:Wait()

how to recreate that line using remote events?

#4

like this:

Animations.Chop2.Stopped:Connect(function()
    RemoteEvent:FireAllClients()
end)
#5

sorry, what i meant is how do i know that the animation has stopped playing if the animations are played on the client?

game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.PlayAnimation:FireAllClients(Tool.Chop1, Humanoid) --the client plays animation for the tool holder

Animations.Chop2.Stopped:Connect(funtion() --when the animation stop, will run code below
    print("stopped")
end)

the Animations.Chop2 is on the server, so how to know if the animation stopped playing?

Handle it on the client as well, when the animation stops On the client fire to the server and handle what you want there.
