How do I make an asset loading GUI?

Asked 434 views1 answers

I am trying to make a type of GUI Murder Mystery 2 (MM2) Has, but I cannot do it because everything I try doesn't work. I've tried this chunk of code, but it doesn't print he "left of" part, and skips to "All assets loaded!". Is ContentProvider depreciated?

local cp = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local totalassets = cp.RequestQueueSize

while cp.RequestQueueSize > 0 do
    print(cp.RequestQueueSize .. " left of " .. totalassets .. " assets remaining...")
    wait()
end

print("All assets loaded!")

I may be wrong on this as I haven't touched ContentProvider in a while but you aren't loading anything into CP's queue until you actually call for an asset. You use :PreloadAsync for this.

I read about that and it seems you have to put EVERYTHING into a table to load, is there an easier way to load a game and display the amount of "parts" left to load?

If you want to know if an api is deprecated: You could search it up on developer.roblox.com and look for a deprecation box like this onehttps://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/class/HopperBin

ContentProvider is used for loading in assets/content. Rendering parts is a whole other thing if that's what you're trying to do.

So if you want you can do this but it won't really show how much assets there are.

  1. You want to make the gui
  2. Put a local script in Replicated First
  3. put the gui in the local script then in the script you put in the following:
game.ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()

local PlayerGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
PlayerGui:SetTopbarTransparency (0)

local GUI = script['Whatever the name of the gui is"]:Clone()
GUI.Parent = PlayerGui

repeat wait(1) until game:IsLoaded()
GUI.Frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,1,0), "InOut","Sine",0.5)
wait(0.5)
GUI:Destroy()

Hope this helped. (:

Btw Tween position is not really needed it just adds a cool effect before being destroyed.
