This function enables or disables asynchronous model loading. Enabling asynchronous model loading may reduce the small pauses that occur when a new model is displayed for the first time. However, it can cause the new models to appear slightly later than they might have otherwise.

Caution

Using this function with a large amounts of engineReplace* at the same time may cause loading times to be exponentially slower.

Syntax

 engineSetAsynchronousLoading ( )

Code Examples

client

The next example enables the model asynchronous loading ignoring client preferences if there are a lot of objects (and the player wants to).

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, function()
    if #getElementsByType("object") > 500 then
  engineSetAsynchronousLoading( true, false )
    end
end)
