llPreloadSound

void llPreloadSound(string Sound)

Causes nearby viewers to preload the Sound from the object's inventory.

This is intended to prevent delays in starting new sounds when called upon.

Parameters

Sound (string)

Technical Details

Return Type: void
Energy: 10
Sleep: 1s

This example demonstrates preloading a sound when the object is rezzed, then playing it when touched:

string sound = "name or uuid"; // sound in inventory or UUID of a sound

default
{
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llSetText("Preloading....", <1, 0, 0>, 1);
        llPreloadSound(sound);
        llSetText("Touch To Play", <1, 1, 1>, 1);
    }

    touch_start(integer num_detected)
    {
        llPlaySound(sound, 1.0);
    }
}

This pattern is useful for ensuring sounds are loaded on nearby viewers before they’re needed, reducing startup delays when llPlaySound is called.

Notes

This function is intended to prevent delays in starting new sounds. The preloading affects viewers within range of the object.
