Hello fellow developers ! I am trying to create a player list system for my game which will show the pictures of all the 8 players in the lobby and is mostly like that of arsenal. I have created a screen GUI and used UIgridlayout and used 8 frames. I will be using this code to get the player image.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
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)
now the problem is I don’t know what type of script and where should I prepare it because the script will get different image for all the players which will be their own pic. I would really appreciate any help on fixing this and getting the pictures of all the eight players in the lobby. Thanks !
I think you should make a local script which controlls all the activities of the player list . In that script, make a refresh function ( when something changes in the player list ,the script will refresh all player gui - clear all images and clone them again [a bit werid] but you can try another way that if somebody’s stat changes, it will only change the player’s frame )
You can use a local script and add or remove the guis to the UIgridlayout whenever a player leaves or joins (you can use game.Players.PlayerAdded and game.Players.PlayerRemoving) to detect players leaving or joining
And game.Players.PlayerAdded and Player Removing has a parameter which gives the joining or leaving player so you can use that to get the userids and the player thumbnails
Example:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
-- 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)
end)
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
-- 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)
end)
but the image of the player is not being shown on the GUI when I launch the game for test. This is the how I have prepared the gui.
is there any problem in how I have arranged it ? The 1 to 8 number frames represent 8 players and each frame should display the picture of a different player.
