Scanning the workspace for all decal/sound IDs?
How would I go about scanning the entire workspace to find every ID of every sound, decal, texture, etc and put it in a table? I want to make a preloader but I dont want to have to manually list out every ID the game, that would take forever. I have the preloader/GUI part done, I just would really like to have a system of automatically finding the IDs.

I had some fun creating this but this will only find assets in the chkItms list and will also not check for assets in scripts.
Take a look at this, you may be able to add more code to check scripts assets, Click here
local chkItms = {
--[object type] = [ value to be returned]
["Sound"] = "SoundId"
}
function scan(itm)
for i,v in pairs(itm:GetChildren()) do -- gets all children of the object to scan
local res, val = chkType(v) -- check the type against the list
if res then print("item:- " .. tostring(v) .. " HasAsset:- " .. val) end -- compares the result
scan(v) -- scans all of the parents childs as well creating a loop scan
end
end
function chkType(itm)
for i,v in pairs(chkItms) do
if itm:IsA(i) then -- chack all items for type
return true, itm[v] -- returns its value e.g. SoundId
end
end
return false, nil
end
wait(3) -- wait for character to load
scan(game.Workspace) -- scan the workspace
Add a comment if you need help understanding this script as its a bit complex. Hope this helps.
