Lets say for example you use a lot of image decals. Usually they can take a long time to load, especially on first startup of a game.
This will cause a decal to give a grey screen until it is properly accessed by the server. Is there a way you can put a text decal where the image decal should be until it loads?
You can use this to load almost everything that have IDs, except model.
local ContentProvider = Game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local function LoadAssets(AssetList)
-- Takes an asset list and preloads it. Will not wait for them to load.
for _, AssetId in pairs(AssetList) do
ContentProvider:Preload("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=" .. AssetId)
end
end
LoadAssets({2253543, 2434541, 5133543, 2423433, 41143243, 2453865, 21433365, 2154549})
You can go this link to learn more information about it:
