How do I improve the performance of my .gif GUI with 70 images (1 frame per 0.04 second)?
This is a section of the script, altogether there's 70 images. At the moment the images keeps on flashing because of latency, it also freezes and then plays perfectly for a split second and then flashes again. Is there anyway I can make it so the images change without flashing?
1 | while true do |
2 | wait(0.04) |
3 | script.Parent.Image = "rbxassetid://544664857"--0 |
4 | wait(0.04) |
5 | script.Parent.Image = "rbxassetid://544665861"--1 |
6 | wait(0.04) |
7 | script.Parent.Image = "rbxassetid://544666597"--2 |
8 | end |
Here's the place with the .gif GUI: https://www.roblox.com/games/544685431/Seraines-Place-Number-40

wait() isn't very precise, especially with very short times. You need to use a delta time loop to handle this.
Additionally, the only way to combat the latency is to script this using a LocalScript.
01 | local frames = { |
02 | {img = 544664857, rate = .04}; |
03 | {img = 544665861, rate = .04}; |
04 | {img = 544666597, rate = .04}; |
05 | } |

07 | --EDIT - yep, I forgot to have the images preloaded! Let's fix that here: |
08 | do |
09 | local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider") |
10 | local images = {} |
11 | for _, v in ipairs(frames) do |
12 | table.insert(images, "rbxassetid://" .. v.img) |
13 | end |
14 | ContentProvider:PreloadAsync(images) |
15 | end |

Delta time usage is a confusing concept to understand, so definitely ask any questions you have about it!

You forgot to account for the fact that the frames aren't preloaded. User#6546 35 — 8y

Thanks for you help, but the loop stops after every frame has been played, you can see it here: https://www.roblox.com/games/544685431/Seraines-Place-Number-40 Seraine 103 — 8y
