Quick question. I'm making a top down shooter and was wondering what causes lag and how I can reduce it. Do tags and tag sensors or emitters cause lag?

Everything causes lag. For a shooter, you can decrease lag by.... -Emit parts of your level currently in use and destroy them after you are finished using them. -Make a perimeter hologram/sticker panel just outside the camera view, and glue it to the camera. Add logic so that the bullets get destroyed when impacting the hologram/sticker (it's slightly better than setting a lifetime for the emitted bullets, only the bullets you can see will be in the level) -Only make enemies shoot when they or the bullets will be visible to the player. If the player won't see them, it'll just cause unnecessary lag.

Thanks! Just wanted to be sure with some of those methods

Minimizing the amount of corners is one of the most vital things to check. Reducing the amount of corners can easily be done by either using/placing perfectly round circles, or using Triangles instead of Squares - especially when using Sticker Panel and Hologram for logic components. ^Just a quick tip^ -- Jauw

If you're using complex objects you will run out of thermo before you encounter any lag.

Generally, the limit is around 800-1000 material objects on screen together regardless of their geometric complexity. If you're using complex material objects you will run out of thermo before you encounter any lag.

I was able to achieve some better frame rates in my level. This is a great topic--it could even be merged. Thats all the info you need right there.
