So a friend is wondering what will perform the fastest make a brick kill a character. We think the collection service but there is a lot of ways to do things so is there something else?

Using CollectionService probably would be the best approach for the job. It’s about as easy and intuitive as it gets.

local killbrickConnections = {} --Keep a table of connections to disconnect later!!

local function onTouch(hit)
   --Do What Every other script does
end

for _,killbrick in pairs(game:GetService("CollectionService"):GetTagged("Kill Brick")) do
   local connection = killbrick.Touched:Connect(onTouch)
   table.insert(killbrickConnections,connection)
end

To clearify, we know how to script it, our only question is about what would be the fastest with peformance.

I’m not sure the “performance” of a kill brick is something worth considering. Why do you think this?

I mean like how you can prevent it from making the game lag.

A kill brick shouldn’t be making the game lag. The problem lies elsewhere most likely.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
        script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function()
            char.Humanoid.Health = (0)
        end)
    end)
end)

That’s what I would do

Please don’t, that will make a lot of RBXScriptConnection and possibly consume a ton of server memory. You are basically telling the server, “Hey make another event when a new player joins”.

To the @OP and his @friend. I suggest using CollectionService or keep all the KillBricks in a Folder.
Why? Getting every part in a variable is so tedious, and sometimes you can’t even understand your script anymore.

Try using collection service which will allow to you to mantain all kill bricks with only 1 script.

Yeah what I was thinking. But this was for a friend and he was asking bc he was taking a new quiz and wanted to make sure that was the answer.
