ImageLabel keeps flickering after updating image id

Can you try this and see what it prints?

local preloadIDTable = {}

local instanceTable = {}

for _, id in ipairs(preloadIDTable) do
    local instance = Instance.new("ImageLabel")
    instance.Image = "rbxassetid://"..id
    table.insert(instanceTable, instance)
end

local contentprovider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local success = contentprovider:PreloadAsync(instanceTable)

if success then
    print("They're all loaded")
else
    warn("Image preload failed.")
end
#7

It says “Image preload failed.”

#8

Update the last bit to this:

local contentprovider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local success, errorMsg = contentprovider:PreloadAsync(instanceTable)

if success then
    print("They're all loaded")
else
    warn("Image preload failed.",errorMsg)
end

What does it print?

#9

“Image preload failed. nil”

How do I fix this?

#10

I assume you added your roblox ids to the table right?

#11

Yes, I am.

There, the table I am using.

local preloadIDTable = {15155878931,15155878775,15155878627,15155878476,15155878186,15155877918,15155877678,15155877510,15155880841,15155880635,

}

Could you try just this code and see if they even load at all?

for i,v in pairs(preloadIDTable) do
	local succ, errFail = pcall(function()
		game:GetService("ContentProvider"):PreloadAsync({asset})
	end)
	if succ then
		print("finished loading "..v..".")
	else
		warn("ID"..v.." could not load due to "..errFail)
	end
end
print("done")
#13

Every assets can’t be loaded with the same error.

“ID… could not load due to Unable to cast double to Content”

I am starting to get it now.
Does it need to be string?

#14

I’m not sure, but you could try that.

EDIT:
Or maybe add rbxasset in front of it.

for _, assetID in ipairs(preloadIDTable) do
    local assetString = "rbxassetid://" .. tostring(assetID)
    local success, errorMsg = pcall(function()
        game:GetService("ContentProvider"):PreloadAsync({assetString})
    end)
    
    if success then
        print("Finished loading " .. assetID .. ".")
    else
        warn("ID " .. assetID .. " could not load due to " .. errorMsg)
    end
end

print("Done")
#15

Every assets are printed as finished loading, however it’s still flickering.

#16

Did you try my edit code? With the rbxasset in front?

#17

Yep, I tried. But it’s still flickering.

#18

Maybe add a wait?
Like 10 seconds or 15 seconds after the done is printed, then use them ingame

#19

Still not working, I wonder why.

Here’s the video of it.

Thats very weird, i don’t really have an idea anymore. Sorry :+1:

#21

I suggest you create some type of loading screen, that way while the game is loading you can make all of your images visible for a short period of time. (0.2 each maybe) This means it should render for the player in the future

Just make sure you have enough ZIndex so they don’t show up

#22

I noticed that EVERY time the image still flickers even after the images have been ever loaded or used for the 2nd time.

#23

you don’t need to create an ImageLabel to load the image, you can just do rbxassetid://id

local preloadIDTable = {} -- asset ids here

for i, id in ipairs(preloadIDTable) do
	preloadIDTable[i] = "rbxassetid://" .. id
end

contentprovider:PreloadAsync(preloadIDTable)
#24

I’ve found a solution, here is the link for it.
