Automatic lowering of the "Pop density / variety" when racing
Something that makes the pop density / vaiety settings to 0 :
- For every racer in the race once the host starts the race
-To people that are in the radius that says that they're not to far to start the race, even if they are not in the said race (Allowing for passenger princesses to not create traffic either during the race).
Since locals are player based spawning, lowering that for everyone would be the right move to lower the amount of ghost locals when racing. It could or couldn't be put to mid / high after the race is ended.
Also allowing slightly higher FPS and maybe avoiding game crashes (But that's a maybe, I ain't no dev)
Generally speaking making the racing experience better because way less ghost roaming around the track to jump on your neck

This is not something we are looking to do, sorry.

I am not a fan of changing the entire density to 0. We have scripts that are dependent on the locals of the area. Yes ghost locals suck, but there are probably better ways to fix it rather than just to YEET the locals away.
When it comes to racing, population density rarely would have an effect on your crashes rather than other things (broken map assets, bugs in the scripts, etc). Plus density is already altered based on current population.
tldr;
Decreasing the population density won't fix your issues. Yes, ghost locals suck, but there are better ways we can work on preventing them.

This is why it only changes it for involved players, and it resets after the race to whatever the player had before it started. People who need locals to spawn, will have their settings turned ON no matter what, so they'll have their local anyway for the script. NPC spawns are client sided, so if you have your setting at max, you'll have a lot of local, even if a player with low setting is in the area

If this is something that could be done, I don’t see why we shouldn’t make this a thing regardless of it’s for racing or not. Overall making them 0 for the entire server might help with ghost locals since one persons settings aren’t conflicting with someone else’s
