<h1>7. Blueprint Reference | Asynchronous Loading</h1>
|
|
<p>This is an Unreal Level Blueprint that demonstrates how to build a loading screen that can be used at the start of a game to load both FMOD Studio data and Unreal data without blocking the main thread. To make this work properly "Load All Banks" needs to be turned off in the FMOD Settings.</p>

<dd>Using the Banks variable, define an array of banks to be loaded.<br />
|
|
<img alt="Get Banks Array" src="images/blueprint-async-getbanks.png" /></dd>
|
|
<dt>Load Banks</dt>
|
|
<dd>Initializes the loading process for the banks. Called once on <code>Event Begin</code>, uses the <code>Load Sample Data</code> variable for the <code>Load Bank</code> node.<br />
|
|
<img alt="Load Banks" src="images/blueprint-async-loadbanks.png" /></dd>
|
|
<dt>Check Banks Load</dt>
|
|
<dd>Checks the <code>Done</code> variable every tick. If it is still false, it will iterate through the array of banks incrementing the variable <code>Number of Loaded Banks</code>. Once <code>Number of Loaded Banks</code> is equal to the total number of banks in the array then the variable <code>Done</code> is set to true, and it is safe to load the playable Map.<br />
