How am I supposed to Preload Sounds in a script?

When you preload a sound, you have to use the ContentProvider service from Roblox in a LocalScript.

local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")

Then, you use the ContentProvider's function PreloadAsync to preload all assets that are in a table that you pass into the function like so:

local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local PreloadItems = {
	Sound1,
	Sound2,
	etc
}
ContentProvider:PreloadAsync(PreloadItems)

The way that the PreloadAsync works is that the table of items must be Objects in the workspace. For instance, when you want to preload a sound, you need a Sound Object in the workspace or in a folder in the workspace. What I like to do is have a Folder named "PreloadObjects" in the workspace filled with the sounds that I need to preload. Then you can access all of them into a table as a :GetChildren() table like so:

local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local PreloadItems = workspace.PreloadItems:GetChildren()
ContentProvider:PreloadAsync(PreloadItems)

If you want to see a visual of how your queue of preloaded assets are going, you can view them with ContentProvider.RequestQueueSize.

local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local PreloadItems = workspace.PreloadItems:GetChildren()
ContentProvider:PreloadAsync(PreloadItems)
while ContentProvider.RequestQueueSize > 0 do wait() end 
print("Done preload!")
