ResourceLoader best practices

Vale-git

Hi, In my project I use often ResourceLoader to load a scene even If I can attach it to tree.

Example LoginScreen is loaded at runtime and it is freed when I don't need it any more. Is more convenient to hide it instead bother to load/free it every time I need?

What are the best practices? Its worth to attach all of them in scene tree having as downside a more complex tree at design time? I use c#

Thanks for your suggestions

Nobody know? I didn't expect was a difficult question. Sorry. :)

Resources are cached by default. Only the first load from a specified path will actually do the loading. Subsequent loads from the same path will just return a reference to the cached data. So there's virtually no performance cost for calling load() multiple times. If you want to force the reload, you can set no_cache flag when calling load(). It's all explained pretty well in ResourceLoader class reference in the docs: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_resourceloader.html
