How to remove lag from Avatars? ( VGUI )

[jacobcooper18]

   local Avatar = vgui.Create( "AvatarImage", Panel )
   
   Avatar:SetSize( 100, 100 )
   Avatar:SetPos( 65, 100 )
   Avatar:SetPlayer( LocalPlayer(), 100 )

Ok so I have this, everything on the server works no errors. But when I change anything inside of the addon folder I put this in, it lags the player who owns the Avatar image. (Me basically)

Is there a way, to check if something has been changed and remove the avatar and reset it ?

Move that outside the HUDPaint hook - if you create any sort of vgui element in a HUDPaint hook then it'll create one every frame on top of the previous one, which as you can imagine can get very laggy since the previous one never gets removed

Um, it dosen't really work? I moved it into another Init Hook but it seems to no longer be there xD

So how can I display it? Do I make a panel hook?

function InitSpawn( ply )
   local Avatar = vgui.Create( "AvatarImage", Panel )
   
   Avatar:SetSize( 100, 100 )
   Avatar:SetPos( 65, 100 )
   Avatar:SetPlayer( LocalPlayer(), 100 )
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "Setup", InitSpawn )

I tried that..

I tried a different hook, and it seems to work alright for me

local function DoAvatar()
   local Avatar = vgui.Create( "AvatarImage" )
   
   Avatar:SetSize( 100, 100 )
   Avatar:SetPos( 65, 100 )
   Avatar:SetPlayer( LocalPlayer(), 100 )
end
hook.Add( "InitPostEntity", "Setup", DoAvatar )

[B]EDIT:[/B] Geferon's way is better though since it only needs one hook

[Geferon]

local avatar
hook.Add("HUDPaint", "CustomHUD", function()
	-- DO HUD PAINT
	if not IsValid(avatar) then
		-- YOU HAVE TO CREATE THE PANEL WITH Panel VARIABLE HERE AS WELL, IF NOT IT WILL LAG
		avatar = vgui.Create("AvatarImage", Panel)
		avatar:SetSize(100, 100)
		avatar:SetPos(65, 100)
		avatar:SetPlayer(LocalPlayer(), 100)
	end
end)
