I was trying to make smooth ocean waves with EditableMeshes but it seems like the performance after the recent Mesh API update has went down significantly. I used the example in the update post but when creating a new mesh to use in :ApplyMesh(), it takes 0.03 seconds at the most which is too slow for real-time wave simulation.
I was looking around the posts but :ApplyMesh() seems to be the only option, which is kind of disappointing because it does not apply updates to the editable mesh automatically.
os.clock()
Script
*Ignore print and clock, those are just for testing
local TweenAccuracy = 60
local function TweenVerts(Mesh, EditableMesh, Speed, TweenTable)
local Count = 0
repeat
task.spawn(function()
local clock1 = os.clock()
for i,v in pairs(TweenTable) do
local VertexId = v[1]
local OldPos: Vector3 = v[2]
local NewPos: Vector3 = v[3]
local SetPos = OldPos:Lerp(NewPos, 1 / TweenAccuracy)
OldPos = SetPos
EditableMesh:SetPosition(VertexId, SetPos)
end
local clock2 = os.clock()
print("ApplyPosition: " .. clock2 - clock1)
local clock3 = os.clock()
local newMeshPart = EditableMesh:CreateMeshPartAsync(Vector3.new(1, 1, 1))
local clock4 = os.clock()
print("NewMeshPart: " .. clock4 - clock3)
local clock5 = os.clock()
Mesh:ApplyMesh(newMeshPart)
local clock6 = os.clock()
print("ApplyMesh: " .. clock6 - clock5)
end)
task.wait(Speed / TweenAccuracy)
Count += 1
until Count == TweenAccuracy
end
If theres any other way of applying editable meshes without having to create a new mesh each time I want to update an existing mesh let me know. Any help is appreciated!
