Need help reducing lag

Hey, everyone I’m using for i,v and there’s just too much lag.
Here’s the code:

RunService.Stepped:Connect(function()
	print("running")
	-- Checks How Many Plates Are There, Then Rename it
for i, plates in pairs(PlatesFolder:GetChildren()) do
	plates.Name = tostring(i)
		
		-- Checks stepping plates
		for i, stepPlates in pairs(SteppingPlatesFolder:GetChildren()) do
			stepPlates.Name = tostring(i)
			
			for i, spawns in pairs(SpawnsFolder:GetChildren()) do
				spawns.Name = tostring(i)
			end

		end
	end
end)
#2

Why is this in a Stepped event? It’s going to do the loop every frame

#3

I need it to keep running everytime

#4

Can’t you make it run every second instead? Also why do you need this to run every frame exactly?


while true do
	wait(1)
	for i, plates in pairs(PlatesFolder:GetChildren()) do
		plates.Name = tostring(i)
	end
		-- Checks stepping plates
	for i, stepPlates in pairs(SteppingPlatesFolder:GetChildren()) do
		stepPlates.Name = tostring(i)
	end
	
	for i, spawns in pairs(SpawnsFolder:GetChildren()) do
		spawns.Name = tostring(i)
	end
end

Also another thing I was not understanding is that why were the loops inside of other loops? I think it’s better if it’s done like this if it doesn’t really need to be ran every frame but just in a consistent manner

#5

There was actually absolutely no reason at all, I was just trying to find another loop alternatives

#6

A loop like mine that I’ve shown would be more efficient as it changes their names every second in 3 separate loops instead of them being nested, is that what you want or does it need to do it faster?

#7

does while wait(0.1) do cause lag if there’s too much variables?

#8

I’m not sure, cause when you were doing Stepped it was running every frame, whereas wait(0.1) does the loop every tenth of a second, ten times a second. If there’s a lot of plates and what not it may cause slight lag when having to rename all of them, but shouldn’t be that much of an issue compared to Stepped

#9

I did this and it still lags, and I get an average 40fps which is lagging, and there was a bit many variables. So How do I make it less lag?

while wait(1) do
	
	-- Checks How Many Plates Are There, Then Rename it
for i, plates in pairs(PlatesFolder:GetChildren()) do
	plates.Name = tostring(i)
		
		-- Checks stepping plates
		for i, stepPlates in pairs(SteppingPlatesFolder:GetChildren()) do
			stepPlates.Name = tostring(i)
			
			for i, spawns in pairs(SpawnsFolder:GetChildren()) do
				spawns.Name = tostring(i)
			end

		end
	end
end
#10

Maybe put the for loops separate instead of putting them in each other? I don’t see a reason why you need to put them in each other considering it’s just name changing. Do what I did

while true do
	wait(1)
	for i, plates in pairs(PlatesFolder:GetChildren()) do
		plates.Name = tostring(i)
	end
		-- Checks stepping plates
	for i, stepPlates in pairs(SteppingPlatesFolder:GetChildren()) do
		stepPlates.Name = tostring(i)
	end
	
	for i, spawns in pairs(SpawnsFolder:GetChildren()) do
		spawns.Name = tostring(i)
	end
end
