i mean since it makes bricks into 1 brick, shouldnt it reduce lag?
also why did they never add this before? |

| I think that they hadn't added it before because it was quite hard to make. |

| I checked, so far I think it doesn't. moving 1 brick 100,100,100 and a union 100,100,100, the brick doesn't lag and moves smoothly, the union slightly freezes the comp, the parts are all still there. |

Ediee, that is biased. Make a lot of blocks in one shape move, then make those blocks a union and have that move.
It seems to me like you're just moving the same block twice. |

No, this is the test:
I made 1 huge block, and moved it, no lag.
I made 1 huge union (made of 1000 parts), and moved it, it did lag, meaning that it still treats the union as many parts, thus, lag reduction online is highly unlikely.
The CSG is quite useless so far. |

Okay, that's a better explanation. But still, the union is different from the one block. That's biased.
You need to move 1000 parts and a union of 1000 parts. |

That's not the point of the experiment, the point is to move 1000 brick union to see if IT TREATS UNIONS AS 1 NEW BLOCK, NOT 1000 BLOCKS.

light, they had the perfect technology to do so back then...
maybe they didnt have the idea or skill |

| No, you're going about this wrong. You should be testing to see if 1 1000 part union is less laggy than a 1000 part model. |

| I know that this is really darn late, but here are my results: a union of 2185 blocks was moving just as smooth as a single part, while a non-unioned model was really darn slow and laggy. |

the target of unions is to make a union of 1000 parts less laggy than 1000 single parts ..they did never said that teh 1000 part union behaves exactly like one single part ..all teh 1000 parts combined in one union just share their physics as one part ....
