Is it possible to get the ping of a player?

Asked Nov 22, 20156,102 views2 answers

I remember playing SFOTH (I believe), and it showed my ping in a GUI. How can this be done?

I would've started on the script already if I had any idea as to where to start. But since I don't I have to ask straight up and I'm sorry for that.

Anyways, it would be helpful if anyone could let me know how to get the ping of a player.

In a local script you can do this, its a basic way to do it, check the output to check your ping

local currentPing = tick() -- epoch time
while wait(1) do
	currentPing = (currentPing()-tick())
	print(currentPing)
end

If you wanted FPS then you could also do this

while wait(1) do
	print(game:GetService("Workspace"):GetRealPhysicsFPS())
end

I agree with DevScripting for FPS, but not for how ping works. Ping, is a time that is calculated between source and client, Here's my ping script, it's simple but usefull

Here's the thing, if you don't want the model. Create a RemoteFunction that returns true on any condition, ask the client to invoke at that remote function then count the time it took for the remote function to return true. That's all
