How to pre-load an image? ( Easy ) Simple solution?

Ok so I will make a Tv in my game and images will change on it, but I noticed when the images change they take like 0.1 seconds to appear because the image isn't loaded.

wait(5)
script.Parent.Decal.Texture = "rbxassetid://73737626"

Then I tried doing this, but still, the image took some time to appear.

local image = "rbxassetid://73737626"
wait(5)
script.Parent.Decal.Texture = image

And when the images constantly change I don't want 0.1 seconds of a blank white screen before another image appears.

You have to use the ContentProvider service. The :PreloadAsync function will preload the image. Note that the image has to be an instance which is inside a table in the script.

local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")

local image = {script.Parent.Decal}

ContentProvider:PreloadAsync(image)

wait(5)

script.Parent.Decal.Texture = image[1]

I think there is a property called Transparency. You could set multiple image and set it to 1

wait(5)
script.Parent.Decal.Texture.Transparency = 0 -- The image will be visible but you will need to set other image transparency to 1

Way 2 if the first one isn't possible You could make a folder containing many decal then every 5 second you put it on tv

wait(5)
local Pic = folder.Pic1 -- Change this
Pic.Parent = script.Parent
