Loader - Taffer's Components

Load resources for your "Loading…" screen.

Using Loader

1. Create a Loader instance in your tree:
   • Right-click a node and choose "Instantiate Child Scene" (or press Ctrl+Shift+A).
   • Choose addons/taffer_resourceloader/loader.tscn.
2. Use the Inspector to configure the instance. Add resource paths ("res://...") to the Resources array.
3. Hook up the Loader's signals.
4. Call the Loader instance's load() method.
5. Access the loaded resources through the Loader's get_resource() method.

Demo

In the demo folder, there's a simple project showing how you can use the Loader in your own games.

The demo has several nodes:

• A Spinner that's just counting time so you can see that everything is still running while resources are being loaded.
• A Status that updates as resources are loaded.
• A ProgressBar that updates as resources are loaded.
• A Loader instance doing all the work.

Note that the demo code (in loader_demo.gd) is calling load() with a two-second delay, so you can see things happening. Skip the delay to go full speed, unless you're trying to show off the Loader.
