What would be the best way to communicate thumbstick movements to the server?

I am currently trying to send joystick movements to the server via a controller, but my issue is that I cant figure out a way to do it without causing lag. I am currently firing a remote event every time the thumbstick moves which sends its rotation. As you may have guessed, constantly firing remotes is not a very good idea.

Once I saw how many issues came with it, I tried to just send the rotation of the joystick when it was first moved and released; but for some reason InputBegan wouldn’t register the thumbsticks.

I’m not sure what to do right now and I can’t see any other way to do this

Any help is appreciated!

Have you verified that sending 4 numbers at 60 hz “causes lag”?

#3

yes, I checked how many times it fired which was about 100-300. Then I noticed the longer I kept testing with the thumbstick movements, the more the plane stared lagging.

That shouldn’t happen (IMO) if it’s a constant load. “Lagging” how? Lower FPS, higher latency, what kind of lag?

#5

certain controls such as the speed control stopped working as well as the plane glitching out occasionally, but no fps drops.

I’ll take another look at it tommorow, maybe I just skipped something because I’m tired.

So it turns out the issue wasn’t from constantly remote events, but rather the BodyGyros and AngularVelocities. I was able to fix it just by setting the network owner of the part to the server.
