Roblox finally added something useful and yet it’s so useless… why can’t we access this on the Client?

A lot of games actually display the client’s ping on UIs, there’s a valid and real use case for this…

[Maximum_ADHD]

Make it a leaderstats value? Why do you need clients to directly use the method?

[tnavarts]

Random update for people who care: I’ve seen some people asking for updates on the status of the new RunService events that were added but not turned on.

Work on these was temporarily put on the backburner, but has resumed recently, so you should be seeing them enabled soonish (though not in this release yet).

[Noble_Draconian]

Convenience mostly. Right off the top of my head I can think of a usecase : Displaying network connection bars in a lobby/leaderboard UI, similar to what you see in call of duty. In a matchmaking scenario where players choose who they match with, it’s useful info to see on screen. “Oh this person has a red bar, I think I’ll avoid playing with them”.

[Hexcede]

If their ping measures 50 on the property, and you start sending it, and then their ping measures 1000, they will hypothetically see 50 but 1000 milliseconds later. Being able to use it from the specific client that the ping is for actually would be pretty useful, because otherwise you need to wait extra time for the network, making it a non accurate measure if ping (if you display it on the client).

@Noble_Draconian In this case, CloneTrooper’s example of just using a NumberValue would fit this use case.

@Noble_Draconian

Convenience mostly.

It would be better if Roblox replicated for us instead of needing to do it ourselves.

Oh no… don’t tell me all my time doing obbys/platforming in war clan trainings has gone to waste!

[LuaBearyGood]

As a quick bug report / note about the publish failed screen which has yet to annoy me enough to post a formal bug report:

If you press retry on the publish failed screen when doing ‘publish as’ it then just tries to publish to the place you are currently editing.

E.g. if publish fails when trying to commit a test place to main place and you click retry it will give publish success even if it has only published to the test place.
