When the server lags, like if there are more than 50 NPCs, the circle expands slower than if there were no NPCs at all. Is there a way to make the circle expand like a real explosion, with the server lag?

This is my script, it probably isn't as efficient.

		for i = 1,50 do
			wait(0.0001)
			ex.Size = ex.Size + Vector3.new(1,1,1)
			ex.CFrame =  CFrame.new(torso.CFrame.p)
				ex.Touched:connect(function(part)
					if part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
						part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health - 5
				end
			end)
		end

A more efficient option would be to use custom particles, then do some math or raycasting (or both) to damage the players. That way you don't have a moving object.

Your wait() won't go below .03, regardless of what you put in the value. Run your graphics on your client (NPC bodies, particle effects and such) while you run your game logic (NPC positions, action positions) on the server. This should help with the lag. You can't just ignore lag.
