I like to use loops to give certain effects to parts in my game. For example, when a player double jumps, a little shockwave comes from their feet and grows outwards and then fades away. This has been working fine until about a week ago. No matter how old a server is, these effects are always laggy. They rotate and expand way too slow, sometimes the loop doesn't even finish before the part is deleted. Here's an example script:

for i =1,100 do
	script.Parent.Mesh.Scale = script.Parent.Mesh.Scale + Vector3.new(0.01,0.001,0.01)
	script.Parent.Transparency = script.Parent.Transparency + 0.07
	wait(0.000000000000000001)
end

I'd use something like that to scale a shockwave when a player jumps.

A friend of mine said that I should try using TweenService, and I did. It works on every part that doesn't need to be rotated. When I try to rotate a part with TweenService, it just launches into the air and then spins.

Here's an example of that: Link

Is there anyway to stop the lag, or maybe a better way to rotate parts?

Thanks for reading!

Try using TweenService, as far as I know it skip execution steps, that means when your game lags it skips some of the movement but would be unnoticeable.

I did use TweenService. As I said, it messes up parts when they rotate. I showed an example in the link. Thanks for the comment

Is the example using the loop you have in the code block or tweenservice? Best way tor rotate parts is to manipulate their CFrames.

The example is using TweenService
