Okay so we all know that the best way to script loading screen is, getting all descendants of the game and preloading instances with ContentProvider. But I have a few questions in my head?

Question 1: when we are getting all descendants of the game, like this.

local assets = #game:GetDescendants() print(assets) -- Output: 1000-1500

its giving a incomplete result, if we do this and if our game has, assets, models, map etc

if (not game:IsLoaded()) then	game.Loaded:Wait() end local assets = #game:GetDescendants() print(assets) -- Output: 4000-5000

so which one we should use it? i looked other scripters code. and the all of them using is first way(without waiting the game loads).

Question 2: Should we preload each instances in a loop or it should be loaded just once?

Which one it should be?

1:

local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider") local allAssets = nil --all assets here for _,v in allAssets do	ContentProvider:PreloadAsync({v}) end

2:

local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider") local allAssets = nil --all assets here ContentProvider:PreloadAsync(allAssets)

To be honest I have never made a loading screen work based off of how many assets there are. I just do it based off of fps and server ping so I can load all the player and character added events before they can do anything
