Question about command line's delay and array

So, I use command to load robots/ground by this line:

ign service -s /world/free_world/create --reqtype ignition.msgs.EntityFactory --reptype ignition.msgs.Boolean --timeout 300 --req 'sdf_filename: ''"models/sdf/new_ground.sdf" pose: {position: {x: 0, y: 0, z: 0}} ''name: "ground_%s" ''allow_renaming: true'

SO if I ran this with a loop, each line takes one second to load approximately. So, it seems that it has a delay. Is there any way to reduce the delay?

Also, is there a way to load more than 5 models at once?

Like for example: ign service -s /world/free_world/create --reqtype ignition.msgs.EntityFactory --reptype ignition.msgs.Boolean --timeout 300 --req 'sdf_filename: ''"model1.sdf, model2.sdf,model3.sdf" 'pose: {position: {x: 0, y: 0, z: 0},{x: 2, y: 0, z: 0},{x: 4, y: 0, z: 0}} '

Obviously, above is just guess or psuedo command line. Is there any official command for it?

My first guess as to the delay is likely due to transport discovery. Each time you run the command gazebo's transport has to find the service.

You can send a batch request using the /world/WORLD_NAME/create_multiple service. In your example it would look like:

ign service -s /world/free_world/create_multiple --reqtype gnition.msgs.EntityFactory_V --reptype ignition.msgs.Boolean --timeout 2000 --req 'data{MODEL1_INFOMATION} data{MODEL2_INFORMATION} data{MODEL3_INFORMATION}'

This answered my questions, thank you so much!

Last question if you don't mind! What about remove? I couldn't find remove_multiple
