Not able to make a smooth pushing ball

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m making a merging game and I want to make the players able to push the balls around to merge them.

Sadly, when the player is pushing the ball (I’m using instance.new), it’s delayed and the ball seems heavy even tho I set it to massless.

I have seen posts of people telling to change the density and friction but whenever i try changing it, it’s else it’s unable to assign or change, etc they keep having issues that I don’t understand… I’m just trying to access the density and friction values like that : Part.CustomPhysicalProperties.Density = (number).

Any help is appreciated, this is also my first post, sorry if there’s an issue.

New edit : The problem is fixed by putting on the client side, but is there any way to make other players see the same sphere without any lag or delay?

u might be doing the pushing ball effect or animation
on the sevrer which can make it look buggy and slow
try doing it on the client instead

It seems to work, but would it be possible to put the ball on the server side so other people see it? I still don’t know if I want to make the game multiplayer or not but it might still help.

set the network owernship of those balls to the player

Is there anyway for the ball appear for other people if I’m trying to make a multiplayer game? The ball on client side is smooth but it doesn’t appear for anyone else.

#6

instead of making it on the server
you can send a remote event to each client from the server
so that each player renders their own ball so it seems as if
the ball is very smooth for all players

How would i come to loop the position to all clients for each spheres? Also wouldn’t using remote event be delayed/laggy?

Here’s my code :

local SSS, MaxSpawnLVL = workspace.Values.SphereSpawnSpeed.Value, workspace.Values.MaxSpawnLVL.Value

while true do
	wait(SSS)
	local Sphere = Instance.new("Part")
	Sphere.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
	Sphere:SetAttribute("Level", math.random(1, MaxSpawnLVL))
	Sphere.Size = Vector3.new(4, 4, 4)
	local BSize = workspace.Baseplate.Size.X / 3 - 10
	print(BSize, 0 - BSize)
	Sphere.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(0 - BSize, BSize), 52, math.random(0 - BSize, BSize))
	Sphere.Massless = true
	--[[Sphere.CustomPhysicalProperties.Density = 0.001
	Sphere.CurrentPhysicalProperties.Friction = 1.5
	Sphere.CurrentPhysicalProperties.FrictionWeight = 5]]
	Sphere.Parent = workspace.SphereHolder
	print(Sphere.Parent)

Thanks for any help! I don’t know how i would come by looping for each sphere as adding a while true do loop in the instance.new block would just stop any other spheres from spawning.
