Preload Server Assets

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m looking to preload a module exclusively on the server, but I’m not sure how to do so. I’ve looked up solutions on the DevForum, but I’m yet to find anything.

example: 1936396537 > DataStore2

If you’re trying to load a module you can simply do:

require(1936396537) --which will load the asset IF it's ModuleScript AND named "MainModule"

Or you can use something like this with InsertService:

local ID = 1936396537 
local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")

local s, item = pcall(InsertService.LoadAsset, InsertService, ID)

if s and item then
   item.Parent = game.ServerStorage --parent the item wherever you need it.
end

If you have any further questions feel free to ask!

#3

Would this load before a player joins the server?

#4

If you have this located within a server script, yes, it will load upon server creation!
