Assets

As explained in more detail here, initialize the asset matrix at project start and decide when assets should be loaded.

In ink you have less control than in JavaScript/TypeScript over how and when to load assets. Pixi’VN provides a single ink command that loads assets before a label starts. Use the following syntax:

# {operation} {assets or bundle} {list of URL/path of the image}

• #: is the hashtag symbol to identify a hashtag command.
• operation: the operation to perform. Currently supported:
  • load: It loads with await the assets or bundle (Assets.load or Assets.loadBundle).
  • lazyload: It loads the assets or bundle in the background (Assets.backgroundLoad or Assets.backgroundLoadBundle).
• assets or bundle: The type of asset to load. Available types are:
  • assets: It loads the assets.
  • bundle: It loads the bundle.
• list of URL/path of the image: The list of URLs/paths of the images (or other assets) you want to load. If you initialized the asset matrix, you can use an asset alias instead of a URL. Note: to write https:// in ink you must escape the slashes as https:\/\/ because // is treated as a comment in ink.
