Other My plugin causes lag?

    Sheeplie Hi.

    Hi- So I've got a plugin that basically uses trig and whatnot to draw a circular meter, attach it to the HUDPaint function, and then there's a timer: every 0.01 seconds, when you're holding down shift, (running) deplete number of squares by 1 and re-draw the meter. That's about it, but when I have this plugin on my server, I lag a lot- and things run smooth when the plugin is not on. I know that functions running every tick can be taxing, but are they this bad? Is there anything I can do?

    You might be wondering, having read my description about the plugin, why it doesn't actually do anything yet and instead just decreases a number. This is simply a toned down version of a plugin I'm working on to give this actual purpose and hook the value to something.

    This has to be why, you're sending a datastream from the client to the server every time the client renders a frame...
    Code:
    Clockwork.datastream:Start( "hudtick", iply )
    You have to understand that means if your client FPS was 60, it'd be sending a net message to the server 60 times a second.

    Sheeplie Hi.

    Yeah, true.. hm. I may try reverting the stamina to normal and using a uh, lerp or something to update my GUI smoothly. I'll get back to you guys on that.
