I am doing some practice making a 3d game but am experiencing some extreme lag when one of my enemies collides with a wall, any ideas on what could be the issue. I just used the simplified convex mesh when making their collision shapes. Is this the issue? Should i do a simple shape instead?
Let me know if anymore info is needed. I’m still new to a lot of this.
It could be your code blocking the main thread doing an expensive calculation. Maybe when a collision happens?
Use basic collision shapes where possible, your walls should use BoxShape3Ds, your player and enemy should use CapsuleShape3D shapes
Gotcha yeah that seemed to do the trick, thank you. when should i be looking to use more advanced shapes if they cause such a performance hit?
Only use advanced shapes for non-moving static geometry, even then only when necessary.
Seemed like your enemy’s propeller caused the lag specifically, I’m guessing it had a complex collision shape that triggers a ton of calculations when using move_and_slide
