GBX.lua.ContentProvider (Service)

Up one category: Class reference

Note: This is a Game Service, and therefore isn't like other Objects in the Class Explorer. You have to call it with :
game:GetService("<Service name>")

The ContentProvider is a service that is used to load content, or assets, into a game.

The service's main use is to preload assets into a game. When a new asset, such as a Decal or Sound is used in a game, GoodBlox will load the content associated with it from GoodBlox/Roblox servers. In some cases this can be undesirable as it can lead to a delay before the content loads into the game.

With ContentProvider, you can preload assets using the ContentProvider:Preload function. Another useful property is ContentProvider.RequestQueueSize, which can be used to measure what proportion of assets in the request queue have been downloaded.
