Im not sure what im doing wrong, ive rad a ton of stuff about it and i cant fix it

#2

why don’t you use: `"rbxassetid://{ID}"`?

#3

i read that it does not work, also i tried it and it didnt work

#4

but are you sure you uploaded this image as an asset?

#5

the image is a public one so yes its uploaded

#7

Maybe try tostring instead of tonumber.

#8
  1. is Buffer a imageLabel.
  2. what is the ID variable. (whats its value)
#9

Are you using the decal ID or the image ID? I’ve had an issue like this before and using image fixed it.

#10

what is the diffrence?
charlimit

#11

To be honest, I’m not too sure myself. It just worked for me before so I thought I’d suggest it in case it works for you.

#12

ImageId is the actual picture; DecalId is just an api sorting method (used by Roblox, not the developer)

well whats the visual diffrence? like are the IDs diffrent? im not sure how to use a ImageId or decalId

#14

So how do i get an image Id then

#15

rbxthumb://type=Asset&id=[TargetId]&w=[150]&h=[150]
Replace [TargetId] with your id

#16

Ok just to tell u guys i just learned what im using are “AssetIds” i have no idea what the diffrence is but how do i get my imageId from assetId

#17

There’s no engine api to fetch an ImageId from a DecalId for whatever reason :melting_face:

The easiest way is the use the BTRoblox extension since it allows you to go to the Image page from the decal page:

(Top right corner)

You can also grab the id from the “Images” selection in the creator dashboard:

However, this section contains every image (place icons, thumbnails, etc) that you’ve ever uploaded, so it may take a minute or two to find the image you need.

Both of these only work if the image you need was uploaded by you; if you’re allowing the user to input a custom image, neither method will work

You can try @RyosWill’s solution, however, that endpoint only returns a maximum 420 x 420 resolution for assets, which means if you’re using the image for something like a billboard, it’ll look really blurry

#19

Not until the Roblox engineers implement some sort method for it

Forgot to update this thread; you can use this now:

local InsertService = game:GetService("InsertService")

-- Takes in a user input containing the assetId of either a decal
-- or image and returns an image assetId string ready for use or an
-- empty string if no assetId could be found.
function getImageFromUserInputAsync(decalOrImageAssetUri: string): string
	local a, b = decalOrImageAssetUri:find("%d+")
	if not a then
		-- Return an empty assetId in the case of no id in input.
		return ""
	end
	
	local assetId = tonumber(decalOrImageAssetUri:sub(a, b))
	local st, result = pcall(InsertService.LoadAsset, InsertService, assetId)
	if st then
		local decal = result:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Decal", true)
		if decal then
			-- Note: Do not directly parent the found Decal to avoid
			-- security issues if untrusted Instances somehow ended up
			-- underneath it. Instead, extract the id.
			return decal.Texture
		end
	end
	
	return `rbxassetid://{assetId}`	
end

Try pasting the image in an ImageLabel, see if it load and if it does copy the Image (Id) and paste it in your code.
