is there a reason to throw Error when reload from loader.add

[GBear]

hi...

 

i can look warning from loader when reloading 

this code is pixi.js code into loader.add

// check if resource already exists.    if (this.resources[name]) {        throw new Error('Resource with name "' + name + '" already exists.');    }

i'm wondering why throw Error. 

 

is there problems if throw callback to complete or return 'this'..?

 

thx a lot..

I suspect its just to stop you loading the same asset twice.

 

If you really do want to reload the asset (e.g. that asset may have changed on the server, although, in this case, versioning would probably be a better solution) you could delete it from `this.resources` and carry on with your reload. You'd have to make sure the original asset isnt being held anywhere else though so that it would be a candidate for garbage collection.

Because it is an error, and it shouldn't be done. The error is there to tell you as much. Adjust your code accordingly.

If you want to reload an asset again, then either create a new loader or reset the one you have with the ".reset()" method.
