Not sure how to do this. I have hundreds of decals to preload and I really don't want to do all of them one by one, so how would I just preload all assets of a folder in a simple few lines of code?
game:GetService("ContentProvider"):PreloadAsync(workspace.Folder:GetChildren())
This is some code I found from a different post, but it didn't seem to be working for me.
This code searches through all of the decals in the folder and preloads them.
local textures = {}
for i,v in pairs(game:GetService("Workspace").Folder:GetChildren())
if v:IsA("Decal") then
table.insert(textures,v.Texture)
end
end
game:GetService("ContentProvider"):PreloadAsync(textures)
Actually, ContentProvider:PreloadAsync() takes an array of instances. game:GetService("ContentProvider"):PreloadAsync(workspace.Folder:GetChildren()) should work. https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/function/ContentProvider/PreloadAsync
It wouldn't because the array has to be of asset id's of the textures.'rbxassetid://658743164' Also mine makes sure that all inputs are Decals like he stated.
Have you checked out the link? The api reference says otherwise.
Ok, they must have changed that recently. Still my way is safer as it makes sure that it is a Decal.
remove the if and then on line 4 and it works :)

As you see, you cannot just preload random instances as it will error.... You must preload its id's for example if you have a decal, then you should get it's ID and store it and then preload that way...
