DarkRP HUD Getting user's avatar problem.

[Adiminium]

Hello everyone, Im creating a HUD for DarkRP and i would like it to show the persons avatar. My HUD is a DarkRP module and not in the addons folder.

Im attempting to draw the avatar like this:

local PlayerAvatar = vgui.Create( "AvatarImage", Panel )
	PlayerAvatar:SetSize( 64, 64 )
	PlayerAvatar:SetPos( HUDPosX, HUDPosY)
	PlayerAvatar:SetPlayer( LocalPlayer(), 64 )

The only problem is when im live positioning it you can still see a avatar in old position and it eventually gets laggy?

Im guessing thats because its redrawing it loads of times or its a Derma and its just constantly being opened. Anyone got any suggestions on how i can fix this or get the users avatar using draw?

Do something like this ( mandatories, first example ): [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/vgui/proper_hud_creation.lua.html[/url]

Then, add:

if ( !_p.__HUDAvatar ) then _p.__HUDAvatar = vgui.Create.....

Otherwise you're creating the element every frame, whereby you'll eventually run out of memory and lag / crash.
