I am an intermediate level Roblox-Lua programmer (on and off for like 6 years) so I know how filtering enabled mostly works, but I am struggling to adapt a game to filtering enabled in one aspect.
I basically have a looping while() function (that normally can run on the client since it loops that client's specific model in-game) but since you can't change a model's CFrame from a client-sided script with filtering enabled, I need to adapt that specific loop to be able to run on/from the server. My question is: How should I go about making a looping function that relies on player input [ from :GetMouse() ] to run on the server?
I understand that I can simply make the loop in the client and just 'send' a FireServer() request every wait(1/30) **but **that threatens to lag my game up when I will have up to 16 players requesting a server script 600-1800 times a minute. So I need an efficient way of doing this.

The only other way to do it that I can think of is to send over relevant player input to the server. Without any source code, I can't tell you exactly how to go about implementing this though.
