How can I put stuff on my loading screen and dynamically change something on it

I plan to add a loading screen, and onto that loading screen i plan to add super edgy quotes (that I took from GPT)

but i’ve never made a loading screen before, how can i dynamically change text on a loading screen?

is it something like;

-- this here is pure pseudocode

while game is loading do
   switch text
   task.wait(10)
end
2 
if not game.IsLoaded then
repeat
wait(10)
*switch text*
until game.IsLoaded
end

i’ll try this in a minute and let you know, hold on

okay so i ended up finding out about the existence of ContentProvider

though i’m not sure whether i did something wrong, because the game seems to load for pretty long

local contentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local ui = script:WaitForChild("LoadingScreen"):Clone()

local assets = game:GetDescendants()

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local plrGui = plr.PlayerGui

ui.Parent = plrGui

local quotes = ui:WaitForChild("Quotes")

local quoteChances = {
	["I rebel, therefore I exist."] = 10,
	["Question everything."] = 10,
	["Live fast, die young."] = 10,
	["We are all mad here."] = 10,
	["I am the storm."] = 10,
	["Normal is boring."] = 10,
	["Reality is a prison."] = 10,
	["Die with memories, not dreams."] = 10,
	["Embrace the chaos."] = 10,
	["Silence is the loudest scream."] = 10
}

function SelectQuote()
	local totalChance = 0
	for _,chance in quoteChances do
		totalChance += chance
	end

	local rng = math.random(1,totalChance)

	for quote, chance in quoteChances do
		rng -= chance
		if rng <= 0 then
			return quote
		end
	end
end

if not game:IsLoaded() then
	plr:SetAttribute("Loaded", false)
	
	repeat
		quotes.Text = SelectQuote()
		task.wait(5)
	until contentProvider:PreloadAsync(assets)
end

task.wait(1)

plr:SetAttribute("Loaded", true)
ui:Destroy()

Does it print any errors or warnings? Try to see it
If not, reply back so I can show a script i provide

mmm, no

but i ended up doing something like this

if not game:IsLoaded() then
	plr:SetAttribute("Loaded", false)

	coroutine.wrap(function()
		while not game:IsLoaded() do
			quotes.Text = SelectQuote()
			task.wait(5)
		end
	end)()

	local success, err = pcall(function()
		contentProvider:PreloadAsync(assets)
	end)

	if not success then
		warn("Failed to preload asset: " .. err)
	end
end

idk if this is the most optimal way, but it works

So is it solved?

I found another way too

if not game:IsLoaded() then
	plr:SetAttribute("Loaded", false)

	for i = 1, #assets do
		local asset = assets[i]
		ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({asset})
	end
end
