Why does a simple tween lag so much?

#21

and just to clarify im not like cloning parts and tweening them at the same time. i have a wait in-between each critical “power consuming” code block

#22

I meant change the values in the first value of TweenInfo.new()
not the wait()

#23

yeah yeah thats what i meant mb

#24

Maybe instead of a tween use CFrame:Lerp()
edit: Nvm sorry this is size I forgot

#25

i mean i did try that but its not smooth if you know what i mean. but then again i would rather have choppy than laggy

#26

it would just be a for loop for lerp right

#27

Then you could alter the values to make it smooth. CFrame lerp can be very smooth

#28 
for i=0, 1, .01 do
  something.CFrame=something.CFrame:Lerp(goal, i)
  wait(0.01)
end

You could make these values smaller to make it smoother

#29

alright, ty. I’ll test that again to try to get the best performance

also for lerping i saw something about an alpha? do i need to set a number for that

#31

That is what i is for. Its the percent of how far to the target you are.
So if you want to be exactly half of a distance to something you would change the 2nd value of CFrame:Lerp() to .5

ex: CFrame:Lerp(goal, 0.5)

so does lerping work with transparency because im getting an error, “attempt to index number with lerp”

#33

No only cframe values work with lerp
reccomend just using a for loop to change transparency

#34

oh dang. then i think tweening is my only solution since im changing multiple properties such as position and orientation

#35

Position and orientation is cframe
CFrame captures both the orientation and the position so lerping will work for you

There is absolutely no way that the action of tweening a single block would cause so much of a performance issue. Something else is going on behind the scenes that we aren’t realizing. If you go into an empty baseplate, and tween a single block’s size, transparency, position, all at once, it won’t cause any of the problems you have here. I recommend you to try it and make sure actually. And if it does cause problems, then you’re having some kind of bug that should be looked into further.

#37

Exactly, thats what im saying but I have absolutely no ideal what else could be causing it. I optimized my scripts, added debounces, and theres no difference.

I would be glad to look into this further if you could share a place or model file of what you’re making. It’s most likely what @tarneks was saying, and that you’re doing this in a loop.

I totally agree with @SanctuaryIX
I created a new baseplate, used your code and works with no lag at all, works perfect. There’s something wrong with the other systems in your place

okay i tweened a part in a fresh script with no loops or anything and it lags as much. i will send a clip as soon as possible to confirm
