As you all may know, if you give a decal to have a texture of an invalid ID, it will show up with nothing. I know there is some way to check if the ID is invalid or not in scripting as others have done it in not-publicly-given-away games and models, but I have no idea what the technique is.

Would you happen to know?

If you mean "test" as in seeing if it's valid manually through the output, then that's not what I'm looking for.

I'm trying to make it so that a person can insert an image ID into an array (also known as list), but I want the script to be able to determine if the ID is valid or not so it doesn't add invalid ones.

Go to the decal then in the adress bar -1 from the last number EX:

if the id is 13523262 then it would be
13523261

Bump >_<

Maybe it doesn't help that it's like 4:36 AM or something by the website's timezone...

Or that it's 5:37 AM here.

Urmm... well I usually get a decal, put it on a brick and look at its properties to check the asset ID??

NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT >_<

I'm talking about using some sort of METHOD in order to check if it's a VALID ID and actually shows up with something, not having a giant list of every decal in existence; in fact, that wouldn't even work.

Or there could be some output manipulation to see if it complains about the decal being invalid, but I don't know how to do that, either.

Person299 has this feature in his mini-games place.

There's a "slideshow" thing in the lobby that you can add picture ID's into with commands, but if the ID isn't valid, it will use a hint message to tell you and not add it.
