Maybe you're making a GMod style game with spawnable props, maybe you're procedurally generating something.⤶ ⤶ ## Example method⤶ ⤶ The Sandbox gamemode has a great method that allows you to download and mount models from [asset.party](https://asset.party).⤶ ⤶ ```⤶ static async Task DownloadAsset( string packageName)⤶ {⤶ var package = await Package.Fetch( packageName, false );⤶ if ( package == null || package.PackageType != Package.Type.Model || package.Revision == null )⤶ {⤶ // spawn error particles⤶ return;⤶ }⤶ ⤶ var model = package.GetMeta( "PrimaryAsset", "models/dev/error.vmdl" );⤶ // downloads if not downloaded, mounts if not mounted⤶ await package.MountAsync();⤶ ⤶ Precache.Add( model );⤶ }⤶ ```⤶ <cat></cat>⤶ Moved page to [sbox.game](https://sbox.game/dev/doc/assetsresources/cloud-assets/)
