I have some custom items on my server. One is extremely high poly and the server lags when your character loads that item from the seller (note, not purchased but clicked on in list). If you then place it in the world, everyone lags as their client loads the object into memory I'm assuming. The problem you describe sounds like (for us), when a player logs out with that item in their inventory, upon login all players experience that lag once as the item is loaded into their memory...causing a server wide lag spike. New items coded the exact same way but low poly do not suffer from this. Important note, it only happens once per session. Not sure if that's your issue but hope it helps.

Sorry to revive such an old thread. Been trying to get this to work in exile to no avail. I have searched high in low in this forum and others and no solutions are available. While I think I got parts of the conversion correct, Im sure i got a large majority of the refactoring wrong. My skillset includes light scripting, but Im unable to do this. My main skill is in 3D and I would be willing to create any custom item you desire, and provide you with everything needed to bring the item into your server. Have a wide variety of backpacks, hats and more already made but again, will make you anything you want in exchange for help setting this up. Thanks Neveragain.

I've got a system in place to do this but, like most games the AI doesn't respect collision well enough and pop through the walls and floors. I ended up having to script in warding based off the player flag code block which work in my case for zombies. We're running enhanced movement and this definitely works vs. players.
