Howdy,
I’m working on a tower defense game with one of my friends. The objective is the same as every other tower defense (with a twist 
)
However, there are two main issues me and my friend have noticed in the system:
- Heavy Performance on device (Needs heavy optimization)
- Does not stay how it should normally (photo below)
Into
Is there a way to highly optimize it and keep the path “filled” look to it?
Any help is appreciated!
Code:
local workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")
local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")
local EntitiesFolder = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("Entities")
local EntityData = ServerScriptService:WaitForChild("Modules"):WaitForChild("EntityData")
local EntityService = {}
local MapName = nil
function EntityService.Move(Entity, EntityData)
if not EntityData.humanoid then
warn("Entity is missing Humanoid!")
return
end
if MapName then
local Map = workspace:FindFirstChild(MapName)
if Map then
local waypoints = Map:FindFirstChild("Waypoints")
if waypoints then
for i = 1, #waypoints:GetChildren() do
local position = Map["Waypoints"][i].Position
local spacing = EntityData.offsetSpacing/(i - 0.5)/1.35
local targetPosition = position + Vector3.new(EntityData.offset.X * math.random(-spacing,spacing),0,0)
EntityData.humanoid:MoveTo(targetPosition)
EntityData.humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
end
Entity:Destroy()
