# Preload Scene

Grammar — Preload file|Scene File queue|Immediately/For Next Map
Flags — Native | Action

Preloads a scene file. The file must be explicitly identified (it won’t work if you plug in a variable to that parameter). Preloading will force an asset or data entry to be loaded into memory before the map starts, rather than be loaded on demand as the map runs.

# Arguments

• string — File
• bool [ preset::PreloadQueue ] — Queue

Returns — void

native void PreloadScene(string path, bool queue);
