So, hopefully the title explains it all.
I'm using the "InsertService" a lot in my game, because i'm inserting a lot of models from my profile. This makes the game lagg a bit. Here's an example:
local sword = game:GetService("InsertService"):LoadAsset(0000000000) local bow = game:GetService("InsertService"):LoadAsset(0000000001)
and so on...
i'm not only loading tools but entire models too:
local merchant = game:GetService("InsertService"):LoadAsset(0000000002)
and so on...
Then when i want to spawn one of these things i simply :clone() them and set game.Workspace as Parent. For example: mysword = sword:clone() mysword.Parent = game.Workspace
instead of using ":LoadAsset" each time i spawn something, i would like to preload everything at the beginning. This would avoid a lot of lagg.
Robloxwiki only shows how to preload sounds. Here's the example:
Game:GetService("ContentProvider"):Preload("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=12222058")
My question is HOW DO YOU PRELOAD MODELS ?
So far i tried these solutions and they didn't work:
- local merchant = game:GetService("ContentProvider"):Preload(0000000002))
- local merchant = game:GetService("InsertService"):Preload(0000000002)
- local merchant = game:GetService("ContentProvider"):Preload("http://www.roblox.com/Merchant-item?id=0000000002")
- local merchant = game:GetService("ContentProvider"):Preload(0000000002)) game:GetService("InsertService"):Insert(merchant)
I tried a lot more combinations of insert and preload i even tried using only the model ID instead of writing down the entire link. So far nothing worked....

Instead of using a service, maybe try cloning the models from a storage instance, such as ReplicatedStorage (LocalScript) or ServerStorage (ServerScript). It doesn't use assets from the net, therefore does not cause as much latency.
i'm using server storange and it works thx :D altho i'm still experiencing some lag. it might not depend from that. do you know which one is less laggy between server storage and replicated storage ?
There's no significant difference between the two storage instances besides the fact that they're both accessed differently. As mentioned before, ServerStorage is accessed by a server script, while ReplicatedStorage is accessed by a local script. Now, the difference is the scripts itself. If this script is more applicable upon the client, you should use-a local script. But in your case,
use a server script for NPCs.
Thx man :)
actually im inserting big models with hills, trees and buildings.
if its a map thats all anchored then parent it to workspace then parent it back to severstorage once done
you can directly parent it to serverstorage and later spawn it on workspace when needed :) thx anyway
