Script Help Preloading sounds/particles?

Quick question, what sounds/particles need preloading? Music, only sounds found in the script? sounds in put in via level editor? both?

Thanks,

Sounds/ps created via script.

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.
