I need help with my startup ui, it seems to take too long to load/loads weirdly, can someone help?

Asked 207 views2 answers

So what I'm doing is that I'm doing an intro script and it basically stalls the time because the stuff in my game takes a while to load. However, it doesn't seem to work (time is way longer than expected, the number goes back) (take a look at the code to understand more) here is the code:

local loading = script.Parent.Frame.assets
local frame = script.Parent.Frame
local buttoon = frame.TextButton
local label = frame.TextLabel
frame.TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(startup)
	wait (math.random(2))
	loading.Text = "Loading assets: 1 of 9"
	wait (math.random(1,6))
	loading.Text = "Loading assets: 2 of 9"
	wait (math.random(1,6))
	loading.Text = "Loading assets: 3 of 9"
	wait (math.random(1,6))
	loading.Text = "Loading assets: 4 of 9"
	wait (math.random(1,6))
	loading.Text = "Loading assets: 5 of 9"
	wait (math.random(3,6))
	loading.Text = "Loading assets: 6 of 9"
	wait (math.random(1,6))
	loading.Text = "Loading assets: 7 of 9"
	wait (math.random(5,11))
	loading.Text = "Loading assets: 9 of 9"
	wait (math.random(5,11))
	loading.Text = "Loading assets: 9 of 9"
	wait(1)
	loading.Text = "Loading Complete. Welcome."
	wait (0.1)
	frame.BackgroundTransparency=0.1
	buttoon.BackgroundTransparency=0.1
	loading.BackgroundTransparency=0.1
	label.BackgroundTransparency=0.1
	wait (0.1)
	frame.BackgroundTransparency=0.2
	buttoon.BackgroundTransparency=0.2
	loading.BackgroundTransparency=0.2
	label.BackgroundTransparency=0.2
	wait (0.1)
	frame.BackgroundTransparency=0.2
	buttoon.BackgroundTransparency=0.2
	loading.BackgroundTransparency=0.2
	label.BackgroundTransparency=0.2
	wait (0.1)
	frame.BackgroundTransparency=0.3
	buttoon.BackgroundTransparency=0.3
	loading.BackgroundTransparency=0.3
	label.BackgroundTransparency=0.3
	wait (0.1)
	frame.BackgroundTransparency=0.4
	buttoon.BackgroundTransparency=0.4
	loading.BackgroundTransparency=0.4
	label.BackgroundTransparency=0.4
	wait (0.1)
	frame.BackgroundTransparency=0.5
	buttoon.BackgroundTransparency=0.5
	loading.BackgroundTransparency=0.5
	label.BackgroundTransparency=0.5
	wait (0.1)
	frame.BackgroundTransparency=0.6
	buttoon.BackgroundTransparency=0.6
	loading.BackgroundTransparency=0.6
	label.BackgroundTransparency=0.6
	wait (0.1)
	frame.BackgroundTransparency=0.7
	buttoon.BackgroundTransparency=0.7
	loading.BackgroundTransparency=0.7
	label.BackgroundTransparency=0.7
	wait (0.1)
	frame.BackgroundTransparency=0.8
	buttoon.BackgroundTransparency=0.8
	loading.BackgroundTransparency=0.8
	label.BackgroundTransparency=0.8
	wait (0.1)
	frame.BackgroundTransparency=0.9
	buttoon.BackgroundTransparency=0.9
	loading.BackgroundTransparency=0.9
	label.BackgroundTransparency=0.9
	wait (0.1)
	frame.BackgroundTransparency=1
	buttoon.BackgroundTransparency=1
	loading.BackgroundTransparency=1
	label.BackgroundTransparency=1
	wait (1)
    script.Parent.Frame.Visible=false
end)

like erm yeah and pls help

You could use for loops,

Also if you want a "good" loading screen, use PreloadAsync (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DvEdRTATW0)

bro??? this isn't a loading screen?? this is just making players wait for NO reason, roblox has their own loading screen. the solution to this is to just REMOVE IT

People like to make their own loading screen, because sometimes the Roblox loading screen loads too fast, causing things to be not loaded. People like to have a specific style of game, and the Roblox loading screen doesn't cut it

You could also skip the random text generation and just have a loading bar. I did all the gui making so you don't have to make all the loading bar ui :)

https://www.roblox.com/library/6797632498/Loading-screen

This is how to bar generates by the way.

 local screen = math.random(1,3)

if screen == 1 then
	print '1'
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true
	wait(2)
    
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(.3, 1, 1), "Out", "Linear", 2, true)
	wait(2)
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(.5, 1, 1), "Out", "Linear", 1, true)
	wait(3)
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(1, 1, 1), "Out", "Linear", 1, true)


	wait(1)
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
	wait(1)
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 0, 0), "Out", "Linear", 1, true)

end

if screen == 2 then
	print '2'
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true
	wait(2)
    
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(.1, 1, 1), "Out", "Linear", 3, true)
	wait(1)
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(.4, 1, 1), "Out", "Linear", 2, true)
	wait(4)
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(.7, 1, 1), "Out", "Linear", 3, true)
	wait(1)
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(1, 1, 1), "Out", "Linear", 1, true)


	wait(1)
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
	wait(1)
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 0, 0), "Out", "Linear", 1, true)
end
if screen == 3 then
	print '3'
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = true
	wait(2)
    
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(.6, 1, 1), "Out", "Linear", 2, true)
	wait(2)
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(.8, 1, 1), "Out", "Linear", 3, true)
	wait(3)
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(1, 1, 1), "Out", "Linear", 1, true)


	wait(1)
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
	wait(1)
	script.Parent:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 0, 0), "Out", "Linear", 1, true)
end

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Visible = false

Hope this is helps :D

first thing you can do is use :PreloadAsync() and :RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen(). Here is how you do it:

local RF = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst")
local CP = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local frame = script.Parent.Frame
local loading = frame.assets
local Load = CP.RequestQueueSize
local buttoon = frame.TextButton
local label = frame.TextLabel

itemstopreload = {} -- insert the assets that you need loaded right away in this table

RF:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen() -- I think you know what this does
CP:PreloadAsync(itemstopreload) -- preloads the assets in the table

loading.Text = "Loading Assets"

if Load == 0 then
	loading.Text = "All Assets Loaded."
	for i = 0, 1, 0.1 do -- a for i loop.
		frame.BackgroundTransparency = frame.BackgroundTransparency + 0.1
		buttoon.BackgroundTransparency = buttoon.BackgroundTransparency + 0.1
		buttoon.TextTransparency = buttoon.TextTransparency + 0.1
		loading.BackgroundTransparency = loading.BackgroundTransparency + 0.1
		label.BackgroundTransparency = label.BackgroundTransparency + 0.1
		label.TextTransparency = label.TextTransparency + 0.1
	end
end

some links for you to learn the stuff I used in this script

for i loop

ContentProvider Service

RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen (ReplicatedFirst function)
