I’m constructing the opening scene for one of my chapters and I was wondering if there was a way to have all the bad units I needed load quickly. When the chapter starts it loads all of them one at a time and moves the camera around a lot breaking the map textures. Is there any way to load them quickly all at once and maybe before the map appears so that it looks like they are there when the scene starts? I’ll attach my events below if that is helpful.
