Well we can use the contenprovider service to help us get a number of how many assets are remaining.
Make a new local script and put it inside startergui, Lets setup our variables inside the script, Im assuming that inside startergui you have a screengui named "ScreenGui" inside which you have a Frame named "Frame" and a TextLabel named "TextLabel",
1 | local gui = script.Parent.ScreenGui --change this if you need to |
2 | local text = gui.Frame.TextLabel --change this if you need to |
Lets setup our variable for the service
1 | local cp = Game:GetService("ContentProvider") |
We can find how many assets are left to load by getting RequestQueueSize of the service.
We want it so that while the RequestQueueSize is still more than 0 then we want to show how many assets are left in our text label
1 | while cp.RequestQueueSize > 0 do |
2 | text.Text="Assets Remaining: "..cp.RequestQueueSize.."" |
3 | wait(.5) |
4 | end |
Lets put everything together,
1 | local gui = script.Parent.ScreenGui --change this if you need to |
2 | local text = gui.Frame.TextLabel --change this if you need to |
3 |
4 | local cp = Game:GetService("ContentProvider") |
5 |
6 | while cp.RequestQueueSize > 0 do |
7 | text.Text="Assets Remaining: "..cp.RequestQueueSize.."" |
8 | wait(.5) |
9 | end |
We can also add assets we want to load in by using :Preload() of the service
1 | local assets = {2253543, 2434541, 5133543, 2423433} --Ids to load |
2 | for _, asset in ipairs(assets) do |
3 | cp:Preload("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=" .. asset) |
4 | end |
^ they created a table will ids inside and then made a loop to add each id to the assets to preload.
Lets add this to our complete script,
01 | local gui = script.Parent.ScreenGui --change this if you need to |
02 | local text = gui.Frame.TextLabel --change this if you need to |
03 |
04 | local cp = Game:GetService("ContentProvider") |
05 |
06 | local assets = {2253543, 2434541, 5133543, 2423433} --Ids to load |
07 | for _, asset in ipairs(assets) do |
08 | cp:Preload("http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=" .. asset) |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | while cp.RequestQueueSize > 0 do |
12 | text.Text="Assets Remaining: "..cp.RequestQueueSize.."" |
13 | wait(.5) |
14 | end |
But if you reset the startergui will be reset and this this will replay so lets prevent this from happening, Inside StarterGui there is a bool called ResetPlayerGuiOnSpawn, Turn that off and it won't reset :)
If you have any questions please ask me, Hope you found this useful :D
The ContentProvider service
1 | local cp = game:GetService("ContentProvider") |
2 |
3 | local partsToLoad = cp.RequestQueueSize |
4 |
5 | while cp.RequestQueueSize > 0 do |
6 | wait(1) |
7 | print("Loaded "..partsToLoad-cp.RequestQueueSize.." out of "..partsToLoad) |
8 | end |

This is one way i found to do it, Even though the one above is more efficient.
01 | --[[This should be a local script inside the textlabel that will show the assets loading]]-- |
02 |
03 |
04 | local workspaceassets = game.Workspace:GetChildren() |
05 | local replcatedastorageassets = game.ReplicatedStorage:GetChildren() |
06 | local serverscriptserviceassets = game.ServerScriptService:GetChildren() |
07 | local startguiassets = game.StarterGui:GetChildren() |
08 |
09 | local numberofassets = #workspaceassets + #replcatedastorageassets + #serverscriptserviceassets + #startguiassets |
10 |
11 | while wait() do |
12 | for x = numberofassets,0,-1 do |
13 | wait(0.5) |
14 | script.Parent.Text = "Assets Left To Load: "..x |
15 | end |
16 | script.Parent.Text = "All "..numberofassets.." Have Been Loaded!" |
17 | wait(1) |
18 | script.Parent.Visible = false |
19 | script.Parent.Parent.Parent:Destroy() |
20 | end |
