Get users headshot not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m using the script below to put the users headshot into an imageLabel for the game. I got this script directly from the the developer hub and I’m getting this error;

local player = Players.LocalPlayer

-- Fetch the thumbnail

local userId = player.UserId

local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot

local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420

local content, isReady = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)

-- Set the ImageLabel's content to the user thumbnail

local imageLabel = script.Parent

imageLabel.Image = content

imageLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, 420, 0, 420)

It’s saying that player is nil. The only time that would happen is if the environment is not the client. In other words, you’re probably running this in a normal script, which runs server-side. The server has no context for the local player. Move this code to a LocalScript and it should work fine. LocalScripts run on the client, so they have access to the LocalPlayer.

Ahah, that would be the issue. I do have one more issue where it stays then goes away a few seconds later

Check if another script or line of code is interacting with it.

There are not any more scripts inside of that imagelabel, just one localscript that has exactly what I put in the first post
