Preloading

[Mooglefrooglian]

Alright, I'm having a problem with a solution I don't want to waste time on.

AddSpecialEffect() does not work unless (for me) a unit is create with its model before it. This is extremly clunky, and I have tried using Preload(file) instead, which also does not work.

Is there a way I can do this without making a unit for every single freaking special effect I plan on using?

How about a tutorial on how to use Preload()?

Uhm... Can you show one of your triggers?

    //Begin special effect models.
    call Preload("WhiteLight.mdl")
    call Preload("BlueLight.mdx")
    call PolledWait(2)
    call DisplayTextToPlayer(GetLocalPlayer(), 00, 0, "|cff00ff00Special effects preloaded.|r")

I meant the trigger you add the effects on

Edit: Thank you, unneccesary. After spending half an hour searching, I found I required

PreloadStart()

Odd no one mentions these things.

CAn someone write a tutorial?
