Ok I have done that, I will test it rn

#26

Nope, the percentage goes to 100% and closes the gui. Let me try something that might fix it…

#27

Make the time tick in seconds with the random number till it reaches zero

#28

Wait how do I do that?

#29

Wait I am trying something new where the “loading 0/[Max]” has to fill until the gui closes but the percentage goes up faster still…

#30 
local TIMERANDOMISED = math.random(1,100)
for i = 1, TIMERANDOMISED, 1 do
  wait(1)
  print("Timer: "..i.." Seconds Left")
end

This is a sixity second timer you can change the sixity to the timer variable

#31 
i -- This is the seconds remaining
#32

I might aswell delete the percentage and keep the “loading 0/[max]” there… if there is a way to make it exit when they both hit 100% (for the loading thing it will be max) then I will load the backup (with the percentage and loaded thing) and use the thing…

#33

Welp there we go, I raged, it was deleted. There is now just the “loading 0/[max]”

#34

The game can be found here by the way: SCP - The Forest Where Siren Head Lives - Roblox

#35

Well if you use the timer script i gave you you can lerp the bar to the i on the x axis you dont need to round it or anything because its every one second

#36

No its fine now. I will just wait until I get another helper or until @uhi_o replys lol. Thanks for helping out though.

#37

Im telling you how to improve your code and make it better than before because if you load in hundreds of assets it will be slower for other clients???

Well this topic is done now I guess.

You could use ContentProvider.RequestQueueSize to get the amount of items that are waiting to be downloaded.

#40

Just loop through your assets

--To find total assets
local totalassets = 0 ;

for i,v in pairs(assets) do
    totalassets += #v ;
end

--To calculate loaded assets 
local loadedassets = 0 ;

--Your loading loop

loadedassets += 1 ;
