How's this GetUserThumbnailAsync not working?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a SurfaceGui with an image that should update to a player’s thumbnail image when an event is fired. However, this often doesn’t work and the image doesn’t update. I can confirm the event is being fired.

Code:

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local rm = rs:WaitForChild("Remotes")
local remote = rm:WaitForChild("WinnerImage")

remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(id,plr)
	print("Connected")
	local userId = id
	local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
	local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
	local content, isReady = game:GetService("Players"):GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)
	--game.Workspace.Lobby.LastWinner.UI.SurfaceGui.ImageLabel.Image = nil
	wait(1)
	--isReady = true
	game.Workspace.Lobby.LastWinner.UI.SurfaceGui.ImageLabel.Image = content
	print("set")
end)

Try: remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plr, id)

How could that change anything?

“plr” is player, the first variable declared on the function “onclientevent”

It’s not changing anything? Isn’t it just swapping the variable order? Only .OnServerEvent has the built-in argument “player”. (I think)

Try:

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local rm = rs:WaitForChild("Remotes")
local remote = rm:WaitForChild("WinnerImage")

remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	print("Connected")
	local userId = plr.UserId
	local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
	local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
	local content, isReady

local success, erMSG = pcall(function()
content, isReady = game:GetService("Players"):GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)
end)

	--Workspace.Lobby.LastWinner.UI.SurfaceGui.ImageLabel.Image = nil
	wait(1)
	--isReady = true
	game.Workspace.Lobby.LastWinner.UI.SurfaceGui.ImageLabel.Image = content
	print("set")
end)

I’m not sure why yo would pass the UserId through the client, just use plr.UserId

Are there any errors in the Output window? If so, please share them.

Where in the game explorer is this script located?

I’m not sure what you’re doing wrong, the script seems to be working perfectly fine with me. Make sure it’s a server script, in ServerScriptService or Workspace.

local __thumbnail = game:GetService("Players"):GetUserThumbnailAsync(1, Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420);

Huh. Saw somewhere that it should be on a LocalScript. Let me try to put it on the server.

No, the event “onclientevent” is on the server. Make sure your code is located on the Server!

#14

What? OnClientEvent is recieved by the server.

#15

Can I see the corresponding FireClient() or FireAllClients() function call?

#16

Yes, OnClientEvent is on the server, fired by a client.

@ItsPlasmaRBLX it states that “To listen for a message on the client, a LocalScript needs to connect a function to the OnClientEVent”

@Limited_Unique Alright, give me a moment. I’m gonna try another solution.

#18

Clients CANNOT communicate with each other like this, this is done on the server. I’m loosing braincells over this, this should not be an 17+ reply chain.

#19

Huh? The server is firing the event that the LocalScript receives…

#20

Worked on the server once, let me conduct a couple more tests to see if it’s solid.
