Preloading sounds/particles? - Cyfiawn - 06-11-2013
Quick question, what sounds/particles need preloading? Music, only sounds found in the script? sounds in put in via level editor? both?
Thanks,
Cyfiawn

It preloads the PS/Sound so that while the Sound/PS is played, it's smooth. Not a bit laggy.

If you don't preload, it'll load during when it's called for. If it's a large sound file, it can be quite delayed. Preloading allows the sound to be ready to be played as soon as it's called.
Thanks for the answer though, i3670. I assume the sounds in the map are loaded with the map anyway.
