Model :PivotTo() optimization question

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello DevForum, I am using :PivotTo() to move my model based on where the player’s mouse position hit.

Now, I am doing that in a server script and I am requesting the mouse position of the player through a remote function, so it will be laggy.

This is the code :

task.spawn(function()
			while move2.AdditionalTags["Cloud"] and move2.Charging do
				local cloud: Model = move2.AdditionalTags["Cloud"]

				local hrp_position = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
				local mousePos = tool.GetMousePositionIgnoreAll:InvokeClient(plr)

				local difference = Vector3.new(mousePos.X - hrp_position.X, 0, mousePos.Z - hrp_position.Z)
				local distance = difference.Magnitude

				local range = math.clamp(distance, 0, 25)

				local direction = difference.Unit
				local newCloudPosition = hrp_position + direction * range

				local vectorPos = Vector3.new(newCloudPosition.X, mousePos.Y, newCloudPosition.Z)
				
				local CFrame_pos = CFrame.new(vectorPos)
				cloud:PivotTo(CFrame_pos)
			end
		end)

If you have any idea, please let me know on how I can make the cloud move smooth, or atleast smoother.

you can use :MoveTo(vectorPos) instead of converting it to CFrame and then pivoting it. Also no waits?

Thanks, and yeah no waits because the remote function already adds a little delay so I thought a wait would be unnecessary

this is a server to client remote function?
