Problem with DModelPanel

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I’ve created a derma panel, and parented a DModelPanel to it, but the thing is, the model panel is invisible / does not show.

Here is the code:

[lua]CharacterCreation = vgui.Create( “DFrame” )
CharacterCreation:SetSize( 600, 600 )
CharacterCreation:Center()
CharacterCreation:SetTitle( “Garry Company Character Creation” )
CharacterCreation:SetVisible( true )
CharacterCreation:SetDraggable( false )
CharacterCreation:ShowCloseButton( true )
CharacterCreation:MakePopup()

ModelPreview = vgui.Create( “DModelPanel”, CharacterCreation )
ModelPreview:SetModel( LocalPlayer():GetModel() )
ModelPreview:SetSize( 200, 400 )
ModelPreview:SetPos( 300, 50 )
ModelPreview:SetCamPos( Vector( 70, 80, 60) )
ModelPreview:SetLookAt( Vector( 0, 0, 0 ) )
ModelPreview:SetAmbientLight( Vector( 255, 0, 0 ) )[/lua]

These are both part of a function, so don’t moan at me about it not being local, I just have not included the whole of the function, and I won’t, because you don’t need the rest of the function.

DModelPanels are funny things. I’ve often found that they only work when perfectly square - otherwise they do exactly what you’re talking about. Just change it to 200 x 200 and mess with the camera angles.

Ah ok, thank you will test to see if it works

Tested it, it worked, but all it did was fuck up whenever you select a different class ( Models change when you select the class ) so whenever I chose a different class, it would turn into an error model.
