The rates of the scripts in my game keeps increasing to quite a large amount. What’s causing it and does it affect performance? The activity % are pretty much stable compared to the rates.
After 3 minutes:
Roblox’s default Sound Script’s rates are also increasing.
Is it related to the lua thread count? When I ran the same scripts on studio, my thread count continues to increase, even if I disable the script.
Rate is how much the script runs per second, and it does affect performance. A rate of 3600 and 12000 is pretty alarming and I would definitely consider checking the script that is causing this high rate. There is a lot that can easily cause a script’s rate to go out of control, for example a block that is constantly touching something else has the Touched event connected in a script.
Keep in mind that there is currently a bug with the Developer Console where the rate will constantly keep increasing after the first time you open it
I see, however, this is one of the script and it’s just a basic flicking light script, but it still goes up to 1886/s.
function toggleOff()
script.Parent.SpotLight.Enabled = false;
script.Parent.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic;
script.Parent.Attachment.PointLight.Enabled = false;
end
function toggleOn()
script.Parent.SpotLight.Enabled = true;
script.Parent.Material = Enum.Material.Neon;
script.Parent.Attachment.PointLight.Enabled = true;
end
while true do
wait(1);
toggleOff()
for a=1, 2 do
wait(0.1);
toggleOn();
wait(0.1);
toggleOff()
end
wait(2);
toggleOn();
end
Yeah, this is probably just the bug I mentioned above, where the rate will constantly keep adding to itself (it never decreases).
If this is the case, you shouldn’t worry as the actual rate is much much lower.
Is this script only used in one light or multiple?
Very odd, looks like it is probably the bug referenced earlier then. The only possibility I could think of is that there is a memory leak within the script which causes the script to never truly end.
Thanks for the help, I just confirmed this on studio… I ran the scripts in a new place at extreme mode (spawning and killing 100 humanoids every 2 secs) and the rates were reasonable.
