Renderstepped and filtering and enabled?
How does one go about taking this script: --In a server script with fe it works
01 | local getlights = game.Workspace.Lights:GetChildren() |
02 | game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function() |
03 | for i = 1, #getlights do |
04 | if getlights[i].PointLight.Enabled == true then |
05 | getlights[i].PointLight.Enabled = false |
06 | print("all off") |
07 | else |
08 | getlights[i].PointLight.Enabled = true |
09 | print("all on") |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end) |
and put it in a local script with fe, So it works in play mode.

Don't see any problem here. However i would recommend using something that looks a bit cleaner, for example:
1 | local getlights = workspace.Lights:GetChildren() |
2 |
3 | game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function() |
4 | for i,v in pairs (getlights) do |
5 | v.PointLight.Enabled = not v.PointLight.Enabled |
6 | end |
7 | end) |

Problem is [RenderStepped] can not be ran from a Server Side Script through a server, it will however work in LocalScripts. Btw, kudos for using the not keyword to change the PointLight Enabled variable. M39a9am3R 3210 — 9y

RunService can be used in a server script. RenderStepped can't. CodingEvolution 490 — 9y

Don't forget; There is also the 'HeartBeat' event of 'RunService' that fires 1/60th of a Second as well (at least, that's how it fire(d) for me). :) TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 9y
