Whenever i set the image for an imagelabel it doesn't load?

Asked 190 views1 answers

I am trying to make a script that shows the current avatar of the player, but everytime i try to set the image for the imagelabel, it doesn't load at all.

This is the code i am using to set the image:

local frame = Instance.new("ImageLabel",gui)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
frame.Image = "http://www.roblox.com/Thumbs/Avatar.ashx?x=150&y=150&Format=Png&username="..player.Name

The code is inside a LocalScript inside a gui.

Is there anything i'm missing? Any help is appreciated, thank you.

gui is the gui in PlayerGui

it has to be a variable otherwise it will be read as nil

if that doesn't work try editing the gui from inside the PlayerGui

Try removing the “&Format=Png” part. I looked through Roblox’s web APIs and none of them have that. If that still doesn’t work, try changing both 150s to 100 and keep the “&Format=Png” part removed.

The reason you are having trouble is that you defined the frame as an image, not as an image frame. Here is the correct code.


local image = Instance.new.ImageLabel

image.AbsolutePosition.OffSet = {5,5}{1,0}
image.Image = "http://www.roblox.com/Thumbs/Avatar.ashx?x=150&y=150&Format=Png&username="..player.Name
