DPanel not drawing when attempting to draw playermodel on HUD?

[Zeexel]

What's happenin, forum?

I'm attempting to make my HUD draw a user's playermodel in the corner of the screen, but I just can't seem to get it to draw at all. Can anyone help me out to find what's wrong?

            -- Create Playermodel on-screen

            local CamPos = Vector( 20, 0, 65 )
            local LookAt = Vector (0, 0, 65)

            local function DrawPM()
                PlayerModel = vgui.Create("DModelPanel")
                function PlayerModel:LayoutEntity( Entity ) return end
                PlayerModel:SetModel( LocalPlayer():GetModel() )
                PlayerModel:SetPos(400, 300)
                PlayerModel:SetSize(175, 200)
                PlayerModel:SetCamPos(CamPos)
                PlayerModel:SetLookAt(LookAt)

                timer.Create("UpdatePM", 0.5, 0, function()
                    if LocalPlayer():GetModel() != PlayerModel.Entity:GetModel() then
                        PlayerModel:Remove()
                        PlayerModel = vgui.Create("DModelPanel")
                        function PlayerModel:LayoutEntity( Entity ) return end
                        PlayerModel:SetModel( LocalPlayer():GetModel() )
                        PlayerModel:SetPos(ScrW() - 1400, ScrH() - 80)
                        PlayerModel:SetSize(175, 200)
                        PlayerModel:SetCamPos(CamPos)
                        PlayerModel:SetLookAt(LookAt)

                    end

                end)

            end

            hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "PlayerModel", PlayerModel)

Try to use PostRender but remove hook after it's first calling, because it's called every frame

I'm an actual idiot

I forgot I had the function previously named to "PlayerModel" before changing it for simplicity reasons, my bad.

Did you restart after it?

[Zeexel]

The server or my game?

[Spar]

game

[Zeexel]

Nope, restarted game & the server and it still doesn't draw.

Still doesn't seem to work

Just for clarification, this is how I call for PostRender, right?

            local CamPos = Vector( 0, 0, 0 )
            local LookAt = Vector (0, 0, 65)

            local function DrawPM()
                PlayerModel = vgui.Create("DModelPanel")
                function PlayerModel:LayoutEntity( Entity ) return end
                PlayerModel:SetModel( LocalPlayer():GetModel() )
                PlayerModel:SetPos(ScrW() - 1400, ScrH() - 80)
                PlayerModel:SetSize(175, 200)
                PlayerModel:SetCamPos(CamPos)
                PlayerModel:SetLookAt(LookAt)

                timer.Create("UpdatePM", 0.5, 0, function()
                    if LocalPlayer():GetModel() != PlayerModel.Entity:GetModel() then
                        PlayerModel:Remove()
                        PlayerModel = vgui.Create("DModelPanel")
                        function PlayerModel:LayoutEntity( Entity ) return end
                        PlayerModel:SetModel( LocalPlayer():GetModel() )
                        PlayerModel:SetPos(ScrW() - 1400, ScrH() - 80)
                        PlayerModel:SetSize(175, 200)
                        PlayerModel:SetCamPos(CamPos)
                        PlayerModel:SetLookAt(LookAt)

                    end

                end)

            end

            hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "DrawPM", DrawPM)
            hook.Add("PostRender", "DrawPM", DrawPM)
            hook.Remove("PostRender", "DrawPM", DrawPM)

You're deleting it right after creation.
it will not call it at least once.
make remove inside same hook.Add, make function()
