Does disconnect functions help with server lag?
Title says most of it. Basically my game suffers from server lag cause of the effects of it, would disconnecting every function in my scripts help?

Like for example there's a function called "healingFunction" then I would do healingFunction:Disconnect() So would disconnecting all my functions when im done with them gonna help the server lag LuaPrescott 2 — 5y

Definitely would help. I believe there's a tab in the developer console that allows you to pinpoint where your lag is coming from, or you could use profilebegin/profileend. NewVoids 97 — 5y

You mean disconnecting events? I haven't heard of a disconnect on functions before Vulkarin 581 — 5y

The "disconnect()" feature on ROBLOX is useful in many ways. For example, if you want to disconnect a function that has been running for a great amount of time, you can easily use the :disconnect() after that function name to disconnect the function from the ROBLOX game server. However, if your server has lag all the time, I suggest looking more into the scripts then just the functions in them.

The thing is when there is a lot of effects in the workspace, it starts lagging, is there any way to prevent this? LuaPrescott 2 — 5y

If you are cloning these effects into Workspace, it will eventually cause lag. However, there is a fix to this problem. Their is a a part of game service called "Debris." Once you use Debris, you can get rid of every effect that you don't need after a while. Simply type, and example, "game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(ObjectHere, SetAmountOfTimeBeforeObjectIsDeleted) FireyMcBlox 134 — 5y
