Loading Screen Filter

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I have loading screen. But the problem is that I have trees on the map. And there are many of them. They are of the same type, it is enough to load one tree so that the rest have already been loaded.

The loading screen is very slow because of the trees, i.e. it loads 17,000 objects, although 10,000 of them are trees. The bottom line is that trees without a loading screen appear very quickly, and I don’t see the point for the loading screen to load them all and take a lot of time to load. Is it possible to filter these trees somehow? so that they are not in the list for downloading assets.

just in case, I’ll say that all trees have the same name

local contentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local UI = script:WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):Clone()

repeat wait() until game:IsLoaded()

local assets = game.Workspace:GetDescendants()
local maxAssets = #assets

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

UI.Parent = plrGui

UI:WaitForChild("Frame"):WaitForChild("TextLabel").Text = math.floor(0 / maxAssets * 100).."%"

wait(0.5)

UI.Frame:WaitForChild("ImageButton").Activated:Connect(function()
	UI:Destroy()
	script:Destroy()
end)

for i, assetToLoad in assets do
	contentProvider:PreloadAsync({assetToLoad})
	UI:WaitForChild("Frame"):WaitForChild("TextLabel").Text = math.floor(i / maxAssets * 100).."%"
	print(i.." "..maxAssets)
end

wait(1)
UI:Destroy()

In general, I don’t see the point in having the same type of objects loaded as if they were different.

If you hide the interface, you can see that all the trees are already shown to the player normally. But at the same time, they continue to load in the code

Try adding a tag to the assets you want to skip. When looping over the assets that are being loaded, check if it has the specified tag, and use continue to skip over it and have it load later.
