Colliding
-
All the spawned objects have multiple conditions to destroy. One is exiting the play area, one is if they collide with another object, one is after a certain amount of time.
A good amount of these objects also rely on stopped colliding and timers to verify the state of objects around them, or to spawn even more objects.
Also, I just checked. I have a passable wall empty object named “PlayArea”. Stopped colliding works ace with that destroying replicated objects, but my enemies don’t seme to want to mind when their shield is broken, also passable walls with stopped colliding.
The play area is pretty small, but I estimate I will have about 1000 small, painless effects objects, 35 large, complex enemies, and 60 or so small or simple enemies all going at once worst case scenario.
@Thecheater887 oh I see, you spawned objects need to collide too.
Well if having a wall object with no gravity ect was your goal, then just use physics and set the gravity ect to 0.
But if you need the function of a physics object, using a physics object is really the best way. -

Having a septillion physics objects doesn’t work well at all. Any more than 50 and my game has a meltdown.
My iPad, too.

@Thecheater887 but you can’t get the function of a physics object that way🙁
How complex are your physics bodies? My iPad can spawn some 4,000 physics without lag if they are just squares. -

@Thecheater887 Can you please just provide a link?

@GameCRAZY If you give me time to fabricate an example instead of using my assets, sure!

@Thecheater887 I’m curious what iPad do you have? Also, empty objects are worse for performance if they have a color. If they are colorless, they are better.

@Thecheater887 if I remember right, when I’ve messed with spawning before, circles were worse for performance than simple polygons.

@Thecheater887 you could use the same project and just change the assets.

iPad mini 2, will look into.
@Thecheater887 ok, I have the newest(2 gen) Pro, so I can spawn a bit more.
