Hi,

I was looking for a way to know if a regular texture fails to load for example because of an invalid path but I couldn’t find a solution.  
I’ve seen that the BABYLON.PhotoDome method provides a onLoadErrorObservable to use in order to detect loading errors.  
Is there a similar way to achieve this on a regular texture? Do you know why it is not implemented also for regular textures?

Thank a lot as usual 🙂

Have you tried to use the `onError` parameter of the texture constructor?

> **[Texture | Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/typedoc/classes/babylon.texture#constructor)**

> This represents a texture in babylon. It can be easily loaded from a network, base64 or html input. \[API\]

In addition to abovementioned `onError` parameter you may also check if the texture `isReady` - [Texture | Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/typedoc/classes/babylon.texture#isready)

Thanks both of you, I looked at the reference 20 times but because the onError is not in the properties or methods lists I didn’t see it, sorry 🙂  
Also the isReady I didn’t notice and I did my own method to achieve the same…

Thanks a lot.
