Fix: Run the FileAccess.get_file_as_bytes() method in a thread. I thought a thread wouldn't allow for loading files using FileAccess, but it seems I was mistaken. I personally just make the Thread run my _threaded_loading(file_path:String) method and then call a signal named loaded_bytes(data:PackedByteArray). The _threaded_loading method looks like this:
It is important to emit the signal deferred, as a Thread on its own can't emit a signal on its own. I did print a lot in the method just to check that everything is working as intended. I hope this helps someone!
