creating image when resources loading

[TDK(RU)]

Hi all! i know how to create image to monitor for 15 seconds, but downloading can last not 15 seconds. Tell please as I can make picture display only for the period of loading of resources from a server on the client (Resource Downloading progress)

You can't really. I'd suggest showing an image for a short period after the player joins - if that's what you really want to do.

The easiest way to do this is not to monitor what I expect you thought as the obvious "onClientPlayerJoin", as,

It is triggered for all players other than the local player.

Instead, use event "onClientResourceStart", attached to "getResourceRootElement(getThisResource())". This will run your code for displaying the image for that client when it's own resource is first started. (That bit is important: don't use getRootElement() or the code will run when ANY resource starts, including maps and gamemodes) The first time a resource starts for players (assuming it was already running on the server) is after all resources have finished downloading, making this the earliest point after a player connects to run scripts on them.

Obviously, you can't show a client-side image if that client hasn't downloaded the script and image - that's why this idea is flawed from the very outset. Your options for showing anything at all before client-side scripts are available are very limited, you'd have to make do with text displays or something.
