I finally found out that some of my rockets are breaking because the .Touched event is failing to connect online. But I can't figure out what makes it happen. I made two nearly identical rockets and one works while the other does not. They both clone the rocket script into the rocket, but the rocket script sometimes doesn't connect .Touched.

I also found that putting a wait() before the connection USUALLY makes the connection work.

Anyone know what is happening?

The physics update too slowly?? And when the item is travelling fast enough the movement will skip through parts as I think physics update once a frame which if travelling at high enough speeds will prevent collision.

I think it might be because the script is cloned in from a LocalScript. But that doesn't explain why it sometimes works. I changed the script from a LocalScript to a Script (and removed all local stuff), and now it always works.

@aboy

But the rocket just runs into the object and doesn't do anything (bounces off or tries to keep going because of BodyVelocity). The rocket doesn't travel very fast.

Simple really, bad network optimization by Roblox, may or may not be their fault, could just be inexperience coders or they're lazy. Either way, it can't update fast enough.
