Alright. Some of you know I've been working on an FPS for some time now. My current system for swapping weapons destroys the current weapon and re-creates the new weapon every time the player swaps their weapon.
I'm not great at optimization but I did have an idea.
If instead of destroying and re-creating the weapons, I create all equipped weapons one time on startup (when the player spawns) and use nil as the parent of weapons not in use and then simply re-use those weapons, would I see any performance increase?
If I didn't explain this well enough, I'll gladly attempt to re-try explaining.

You could try, but remember to delete the weapons that are corresponding to that player once the player leaves the server... else there will be a lot of instances floating around not being used by anything.
I'll be sure to make note of this.
