That’s not a “memory leak”. A memory leak happens when there are no pointers to a piece of memory. Since lua has a gc it doesn’t *generally* happen.

[@morphious86.]

exactly what the video is trying to explain is more akin to a space leak

[@MrM0gus]

[@Devthedev.]

Agreed

[@blossomcherrypink]

Really? Electron told me I had an EventEmitter memory leak because I was subscribing a listener to an event on a React component re-render while failing to detect that it was already registered. Thus, I registered it 11+ times without cleanup and got that warning. Wouldn't there still be references simply due to the nature of them being registered somewhere? Also because JS has a GC as well?

[@redstoneglenn5850]

Pretty sure he’s using the parts as an example to explain memory leaks. He could’ve highlighted that better but does mention it a bit “imagine this as memory”

[@lukasjetu9776]

you mixed up the terms, i know what you mean by "memory leak" but the name isn't accurate, a memory leak is when there are no pointers to a place in memory, thus the program can't locate it, and the memory is unused, i'll set an example: it's like having a big house, where you put stuff everywhere, but when you don't need the stuff, you don't throw it out, you just forget about it, and after some time, eventually the stuff that you don't need piles up so much not even you can fit in the house, and the house is so full it breaks, now just think of the house as the program memory, and think of the stuff as variables

[@NATANBX0]

You explain very well.

[@Gix0_0]

​@@NATANBX0I agree with this guy. It's most common when you have a function that instance a new part. But then you don't return that part and don't destroy it. Causing it to just be in the workspace forever since the script has lost access to it

[@RedsquareR]

pro tip: ALWAYS disconnect connections after use! (especially if you are creating a bunch of them)

[@torsionabortion]

convienent that i have a habit of doing that.

[@RedsquareR]

@@torsionabortion yeah, i forgot to when i was doing a round system and it duplicated my enemies after each round since i never disconnected a connection and it was hell because i didn't know that was why.

[@ZenkaiDragon400]

local connection connection = game.RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function() print("EEEEE this will stop printing in 1 second bcuz when heartbeat event runs it will no longer be connnected to this function) end) task.wait(1) connection:Disconnect()

[@betagamp]

lua has garbage disposal it auto disconnects

[@betagamp]

if the thing gets destroyed

[@timisafe809]

I was hoping you'd cover the in-script memory leaks. It would be really useful if you made a part 2 or something where you talk about stuff like disconnecting events when not needed anymore.

[@TheOfficialDorianelevator]

i was aware of this problem ever since i started scripting, this explains why most stuff in my games do delete cloned stuff.

[@astreloxdev]

pro tip: not deleting your parts and letting them flood workspace causes lag.

[@coln.luminescent]

Although this is not technically a memory leak, there is a way to prevent players from experiencing lag by using client-side visuals with a heartbeat mechanism. This approach helps prevent lag for other players, and the server will remain unaffected, resulting in no additional lag. WARNING: Do not use this method for all your scripting in your game, as it would be impractical. However, it is a significant way to conserve space and memory. Otherwise, this is a good explaining video! :D

[@Sebastianpro467]

I had a couple memory leaks in my game once and it was not fun. I fixed them but I had to rewrite scripts and It was time consuming for me!

[@coln.luminescent]

While understanding your disagreement, I propose that you create your game with your own libraries (modules that you can call and use for utilities): one for the client, one for the server, and one shared (e.g., particle system in the client, saving on the server, and networking in the shared library). Using this approach will increase your work efficiency and should not result in memory or space leaks (at least not significant leaks if you make mistakes).

[@HijackedSystem]

I dare you to turn a part into a working mirror.

@@1BP6 WHAT THE FU-

[@hell.yeah-]

also i believe using debrisservice has the same effect as not deleting a part whenever i use it eventually the game'll lag just as if i never deleted the part, which is why i resort to custom debris functions

memory leaks can kill anything, not just your roblox game

[@darkfllame]

well, a memory leak cannot happens in a game engine such as roblox, because a memory leak is basically when a part of memory isn't referenced by the program, since lua is a garbage collected language, it just cannot happens, all you can do is run out of memory.

[@darkfllame]

although it can happen if roblox engine's devs are bad at cpp

[@Wertyhappy27]

Roblox does have memory leaks, even Roblox's scripts have memory leaks lol, playerlist script my beloved

[@joeswagson]

memory leaks can happen in languages with gcs. for example, java

[@yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

[@The_Owly]

Hello,a exploiters can change all value in client ? Like health, boolvalue, invalue etc.. Because i try to make game and im scare for exploiters so a put all Data in server scrip service but its hard to remote information so i want to know if a dont lose the time make that

[@SaleMales]

Necessary parts like changing their stats or damaging them have to be on server All security checks have to be on server too Other unnecessary data can be on client (Like handling data to visualize data for client), they can change these for themselves but it wont change anything on server!

[@The_Owly]

@@SaleMales ok thanks dude

[@SaleMales]

@@The_Owly No problem Basically, all security checks and data changing are on server Other like showing data or creating effects on client

[@Malke864]

btw again do u think its possible to create cloud shaders and water shaders in roblox, this may sounds way too optimistic but something close to genshin impact waters and and clouds again again by any is mipmapping possible in roblox and uuuh about parallax mapping dang, i dun know how to say this but uuum i would like to know how parallax maps are created in roblox uk the illusion thingy making a 2D surface seem like it has depth and finally is it possible in roblox to see objects in a distance like genshin (i just want to know if all these are possible in roblox)

[@todd-haword]

I don’t believe Roblox’s implementation of Lua would allow for that. You would need to be able to access the renderer, which to my knowledge you cannot. Roblox would have to build these shaders into the engine, as they did with physically based textures. If you want a 3d effect on surfaces, you can use normal maps, which can be added to Meshparts, with SurfaceAppearance, and MaterialVariants. Other game engines provide much more freedom.

[@truemori6700]

[@cottoncherry2177]

not sure what you mean by cloud shaders, but roblox already has a way to create clouds, it's called the Clouds object and you put it inside the Terrain object
