Question about rbxasset://

The documentation says:

"rbxasset:// points to Roblox’s content folder on the user’s device. For example:
rbxasset://textures/face.png

Content folder:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Roblox\Versions<version>\content"

A lot assets might be there, but many others I see used are not in that local folder. For example:

  • rbxasset://textures/SpawnLocation.png
  • rbxasset://textures/GunCursor.png

Even though the files for these assets don’t appear in my local Content directory, they load and function in Roblox Studio and games.

If the file isn’t found locally, Roblox’s ContentProvider fetches the asset from the cloud (CDN).
