Can you load objects? Scripts, Parts, Textures , etc?

Correct me if this is the wrong category

I’ve noticed a lot games in there loading screens say they are,

LOADING THE MAP

or

LOADING TEXTURES

Or whatever.
So I am wondering, is there a way to load things into the game?
Such as scripts, textures, parts, meshes, etc?
Or do they just say that to seem cool?

Thanks!

Use ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({items to load}). This pauses the script until all items have been loaded

Do I do this in a local script or server script?

You can do it in either although its probably more useful in a local script

If you want to show up objects that is being loaded, you can use

ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({game}, function(asset)
    print('Loading rbxassetid://'..asset)
end)

Most of time it shows loading screen until all parts,decals and sounds have been loaded in.
