Hello, is moving objects taxing?
I don’t mean complicated movements, I just mean things like traffic or elevators?
I’m asking this beforehand so I know if I should take great care in how I should handle this behavior.
Hey again @Leomerya12! Hope you’re doing well!
Nah, they’re pretty cheap! As far as just moving objects. Throw animations on them with a few hundred skeletons and it’s still pretty cheap! Even that amount of AI pathfinding with a crowd Detour AI and it’s still rather cheap. Now, if these things were to move in and out of view extremely quickly, like once every 3 frames, you would definitely see spikes of usage due to drawing/redrawing thousands of actors. Otherwise, especially if they’re out of view, you’re changing a single vector, and that’s extremely cheap! 
P.S. I know you’ve been around for a bit, keep at it, I want to see a release from you one day!

Hello @Mind-Brain !
I AM well. I hope you are too.
Thank you for clearing this up. I’m still going to proceed with caution, but this time it won’t be caution + anxiety.
You and me both!
