Question about spawning NPC's

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Is it possible to only spawn an NPC if a player is within a certain radius of its spawn position? And would this help prevent lag?

#2

Yes, it is possible to do so using Magnitude, and can definitely decrease lag because the player has to render less. here is an example:

local spawnposition = --NPC's spawn position
local player = script.Parent --use this as a script under the player
local maxdistance = 200 --you can change this if you want

while true do
    if player.Character then
        if (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.Position - spawnposition).Magnitude <= maxdistance then
            --spawn npc
            break --stops the loop
        end
    end
    wait(2) --to prevent lag
end
#3

Yes, You could track the players position when they respawn

It might reduce lag but iā€™m not sure
