My game contains a lot of moving parts (mostly decoration), causing lag in most people who play it. If I could find a way to find what quality level a player is set at, I could reduce the amount of these moving pieces accordingly. Like,
if player.qualitycontrol < 5 then
movingpartsspawned = 10
end
Is this possible? If not, any other suggestions to reduce lag in a game?
There is! You can find the users initial quality level by calling the function UserSettings() and checking the value of it's property GameSettings's property SavedQualityLevel.
UserSettings().GameSettings.SavedQualityLevel.Value
However, you will have to keep track of changes to the quality level on your own. You can conveniently do this with an event of DataModel .
local CurrentGraphicsQualityLevel = UserSettings().GameSettings.SavedQualityLevel.Value
game.GraphicsQualityChangeRequest:connect(function(graphicsIncrease)
local amount = graphicsIncrease and 1 or -1
local level = CurrentGraphicsQualityLevel + amount
if level > 10 then
level = 10
elseif level < 1 then
level = 1
end
CurrentGraphicsQualityLevel = level
end)

UserSettings().GameSettings.SavedQualityLevel.Value returns 0 when the quality level is set to "Automatic". Haven't tried the code after that yet.
