Questions about Preload

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So what does PreloadAsync work for? I know Decals and Images…
but does it work for.
Animations and Sounds?

#2

It works for animations, sounds, images, meshes, particles > all that Jazz

#3

Particles are images whoops (30)

#4

Anything that is linked to the roblox website like having an ID:
rbxassetid:// or etc.

#5

So the Animations are preloaded but they’re being errored with a

A tad difficult to tell whats going on in that however, preload tries to load in images, it won’t always succeed in doing so, you could try doing a repeat on it and force it to actually load, but if the images don’t exist, they won’t load.

Well this is what I have.,

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ClearUiEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events", 60).ClearLoadingUI
local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
local Assets = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Assets", 60))
local LoadingGui = Player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("LoadingGui", 60)
local LoadingBar = LoadingGui.Background.Loading.Main.Bar
local AssetCountLabel = LoadingGui.Background.Loading.AssetCount

local TotalAssetsLoaded = 0
AssetCountLabel.Text = "Loaded Assets: " .. TotalAssetsLoaded .. "/" .. #Assets.Ids
for _, Asset in ipairs(Assets.Ids) do
	local Success
	while not Success do
		Success = pcall(function()
			ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({Asset})
		end)
		wait()
	end
	if Success then
		TotalAssetsLoaded = TotalAssetsLoaded + 1
	
		LoadingBar.Size = UDim2.fromScale(TotalAssetsLoaded/#Assets.Ids, 1)
		AssetCountLabel.Text = "Loaded Assets: " .. TotalAssetsLoaded .. "/" .. #Assets.Ids
	end
end

if TotalAssetsLoaded == #Assets.Ids then
	ClearUiEvent:Fire()
end

Actually I moved the IDs, to an actual Animation in the ModuleScript that holds all the IDs, and then referenced those in the list, that seems to actually load.

image

local Assets = {}

Assets.Ids = {
	-- ...
	script.RunAnimation,
	script.WalkAnimation,
	script.JumpAnimation,
	script.FallAnimation
}

return Assets
