Well is there a way to copy a file. such as dm, dmb, wav, mp4, etc in Player's Cache?

Question: Say I have a game with a character creation process, and certain characters will utilize certain sounds basically every time they play. Would it speed up the process of accessing and using the song at all if you were to use this procedure to copy the file into the player's cache?

fcopy_rsc() won't copy something to a player's cache, only to the server's rsc. browse_rsc() can copy to a player's cache, but it may only work for browser windows (not the main game).

Your best bet is just to use a sound datum, set it to 0 volume, and use it to play every sound (without actually playing the sound).
