Weld causing lag, alternetive?

[bitsplicer]

I need to have a snowball attatched to a player and the size and distance increasing over time, but it causing insane lag points.

This is my function:

local function linkBallToPlayer(ball, plr)
	local root = plr.Character.PrimaryPart
	
	local weld = Instance.new("Weld")
	weld.Parent = ball
	weld.Part0 =  ball
	weld.Part1 = root
	
	
	task.spawn(function()
		while task.wait(1) do
			ball.Size = Vector3.new((plr.leaderstats.Snow.Value/10)+1,(plr.leaderstats.Snow.Value/10)+1,(plr.leaderstats.Snow.Value/10)+1)
-- Problem line:
			ball.Position = Vector3.new((root.Position + (root.CFrame.LookVector * (root.Size.Z / 2 + plr.leaderstats.Snow.Value/20 + root.Size.Z / 2))).X, plr.leaderstats.Snow.Value/20+.35, (root.Position + (root.CFrame.LookVector * (root.Size.Z / 2 + plr.leaderstats.Snow.Value/20 + root.Size.Z / 2))).Z)
--
		end
	end)
end

How could I fix this? I tried using Heartbeats and updating but that caused very snappy behaviour.

try destroying every weld after it has been used

This already happens in another part of the script.

Maybe weld constraints?

Tried using those also, same issue.

Sorry, no idea then I’ve never had issues with welds. Try chat GBT or the Roblox assistance.

Solved!

the solution was pretty hacky but I used RigidConstraints with attachments on both parts and actively moved the attachment rather than the part.
