How Do I Make a Player Profile Picture and Username?

#1

I want to make a system that will display the player’s profile picture and username on a Billboard GUI when they press a brick. However, this isn’t working. Are there any errors in my script?

local brick = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local picture = script.Parent.ImageLabel
local user = script.Parent.TextLabel

function onTouch (Object)
	local Character = Object.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Object.Parent)
	if (Character ~= nil) then
		if (Player ~= nil) then
			local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Object.Parent)
			picture.Image = "http" .. Player.Name
			user.Text = Player.Name
		end
	end
end
script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch())

You are instantly calling onTouch instead of connecting the function

Remove the extra ()

- script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch())
+ script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouch)

Do you want it to happen when you press(click) on the brick or touch the brick? Not sure because in description you said press yet your code means touched.

Un-necessary question but what book were you referring to?

It is called “Intermediate Roblox Programming”

I just noticed even though it works it would spam “Attempted to index nil” when trying to get playerId or something like that, so the final version without that alert:

local brick = script.Parent.Parent.Parent
local picture = script.Parent.ImageLabel
local user = script.Parent.TextLabel
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

function onTouch (Object)
	local Character = Object.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Object.Parent)
	if Player ~= nil then
		local userId = Player.UserId
		local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
		local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
		local content, isReady = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)
		if (Character ~= nil) then
			picture.Image = content
			user.Text = Player.Name
		end
	end
end
brick.Touched:connect(onTouch)

Let me know if you want to know how it works or don’t understand something.
