How to Add Playermodel to HUD?

[deal with it]

Hello, I am making a HUD for DarkRP right now (my first), and I don't know how to correctly make a playermodel on my HUD (A playermodel that reflects the job you have in DarkRP) I've tried to use the DModelPanel, but it caused loads of FPS lag and I couldn't use the F4 menu, spawning menu, or context menu. I also tried using the SpawnIcon, but I couldn't use the F4, spawning, or context menu either. So, how do I add the playermodel on my HUD?

Where are you putting this code that didn't work?

At the end, after all my text and boxes.

[Thane17]

I meant which file, but could you post your code? And make sure you put it in [code.]Your code here[/code.]

but without the periods.

Please don't create HUDPaint hooks IN a HUDPaint hook, it'll lag tons

[editline]14th July 2016[/editline]

Also, the reason the DModelPanel was creating lag for you was probably because you were creating it in one of those HUDPaint hooks. I'll have a go at fixing your code, hang on

[editline]14th July 2016[/editline]

Try this:

surface.CreateFont( "Font", {
	font = "Impact", -- Use the font-name which is shown to you by your operating system Font Viewer, not the file name
	extended = false,
	size = 30,
	weight = 500,
	blursize = 0,
	scanlines = 0,
	antialias = true,
	underline = false,
	italic = false,
	strikeout = false,
	symbol = false,
	rotary = false,
	shadow = false,
	additive = false,
	outline = true,
} )

local model = vgui.Create("SpawnIcon") -- NEVER create vgui panels in a HUDPaint hook
model:SetPos(10 + 10, ScrH() - 154)

hook.Add("HUDPaint" , "DrawMyHealth" , function()

	local health = LocalPlayer():Health()

	draw.RoundedBox(0,20,ScrH() - 90,300 + 4 , 30 + 4,Color(40, 40, 40))
	draw.RoundedBox(0,22,ScrH() - 88,health * 3,30,Color(255,0,0))
	draw.SimpleText(health.. "%" , "Font",10 + 150, ScrH() - 72,Color(255,255,255),1, 1)

	local armor = LocalPlayer():Armor()

	draw.RoundedBox(0,20,ScrH() - 50,300 + 4 , 30 + 4,Color(40, 40, 40))
	draw.RoundedBox(0,22,ScrH() - 48,armor * 3,30,Color(0,0,255))
	draw.SimpleText(armor.. "%" , "Font",10 + 150, ScrH() - 32,Color(255,255,255),1, 1)

	local Money = LocalPlayer():getDarkRPVar("money") or 0
	draw.SimpleText("$".. Money ,"Font",10 + 280, ScrH() - 130,Color(0,255,0),1, 1)

	local Salary = LocalPlayer():getDarkRPVar("salary") or 0
	draw.SimpleText("$".. Salary ,"Font",10 + 280, ScrH() - 105,Color(255,255,0),1, 1)

	local Job = LocalPlayer():getDarkRPVar("job")
	draw.SimpleText(Job , "Font", 10 + 115, ScrH() - 105,Color(255,255,255),1, 1)

	draw.SimpleText(LocalPlayer():Nick() , "Font", 10 + 115, ScrH() - 130,Color(255,255,255),1, 1)

        model:SetModel(LocalPlayer():GetModel()) -- update the model

end)

I didn't change much, but it should be less laggy now

Also, the reason you shouldn't create any vgui stuff in a HUDPaint hook is because it doesn't get removed by the next frame. HUDPaint hooks get called EVERY FRAME, and if you create a vgui element in it without removing it BY THE NEXT FRAME, then it'll get created again and again and again EVERY SINGLE FRAME, which obviously causes lag

Ok, kinda weird, but I just realized that on the game startup it does this:

But when I save it again, it fixes it, but with the box that usually indicates an image error being behind the hud...

Edit: it also comes up with this error message:

Kill yourself and see if the player model appears

[MysteryPancake]

Sorry, I forgot that LocalPlayer() isn't set at the start of the game. I updated the code I posted before, try it now.

[deal with it]

[QUOTE=Thane;50706343]Kill yourself and see if the player model appears[/QUOTE]

Nope

[Thane17]

Figured it'd be the same problem I had with getting the players avatar, I guess it kind of is since the LocalPlayer() doesn't exist at the beginning of the game, like MPan1 said. Although it's basically the same thing I did to fix my problem. What MPan1 said should work.
