Hey,

can somoene explain me the differences between stepped, heartbeat, renderstepped?

after the forum on DevHub I still didnt understand it. I just understood that it is connected with each fps of the game and runs with it equal.

do you guys know more than stepped, heartbeat, renderstepeed? I heard there is also a BindToRenderStep.

So you need to answer this questions for each stepped, hearbeat, renderstepeed:

  1. What is it exactly?
  2. Does more than the 3 points exist above?
  3. Which one should I use mostly on Client or on Server.
  4. When should I use it? - give some examples.

Thanks for any help!

I think heartbeat is just like wait()

 game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function() 
       print("Hello.")
end)

Sorry, I forgot what the topic was, lemme invistigate!

I think the ‘Render Stepped’ is used to fire every frame. If you have like 1 fps you’ll be running your command every set frames. (I may not be correct)

#5

RenderStepped runs before anything renders,Stepped runs before the physics step,Heartbeat runs at the end of the frame.
