Is there a way to pre-load resources using Playmaker? For example, I'd like to pre-load VFX textures to prevent frame drops when the VFX first appears in the game.

you can pre-load assets in PlayMaker (Unity visual scripting) to help reduce “first‐time” frame drops (e.g., when a VFX appears)

How?

but there are caveats and better alternative approaches depending on your target platform and setup.

So which are these approaches?

Unity lets you pre-load specific assets. Look under Player Settings for “Preloaded Assets”
