AvatarImage

[Lebofly]

I'm having issues with showing the players AvatarImage with the following code

    local Avatar = vgui.Create( "AvatarImage", frame1 )
    Avatar:SetPlayer( LocalPlayer(), 64 )
    Avatar:SetSize( 64,64 )
    Avatar:SetPos( 10,14 )
    Avatar:SetParent( frame1 )

The image shown is a big blue question mark with a white background instead of the users avatar image. I'm going to assume that it's conflicting with the sandbox scoreboard showing the avatar image.

local Avatar = vgui.Create( "AvatarImage", frame1 )
If you have there frame1 then you don't need to set the parent.

It's not the problem though

Are you doing this on a hud, or are you doing this inside of a custom scoreboard?

In advance, I can tell ya that the AvatarImage won't load if you're calling it too early(possibly before the player is authed, or anything of that nature.. my laptop is slow on these things xD). If you're using it on a hud try using a timer and calling the function directly in cl_init.lua

function DrawAV()
local Avatar = vgui.Create( "AvatarImage", frame1 )
    Avatar:SetPlayer( LocalPlayer(), 64 )
    Avatar:SetSize( 64,64 )
    Avatar:SetPos( 10,14 )
    Avatar:SetParent( frame1 )
end

function ActivateAV()
timer.Simple(10, DrawAV) //timer set to wait for 10 seconds after this function is called to draw the avatarimage to the screen.
end
ActivateAV() //let this sucker activate and let the time tick!

That code of course is only if your trying to draw it on a hud. If you think you're having sandbox feedback or something, just use a base gamemode and overwrite the main functions to draw the scoreboard.
(That would be these two):
GM:ScoreboardShow() //http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index7673.html
GM:ScoreboardHide() //http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index5abc.html

Hope this helped :)

I know that wouldn't fix it but it was just a tip.

Cheers, I will give that a shot it was being loaded onto a custom panel that opens on button press

Edit: Worked great! Thank you both for the help
